Weather Summary
Weather Underground Forecast for Friday, May 25, 2012.

Expect more active weather to develop across the Great Lakes on Friday, as a low pressure system moves from the Upper Midwest into eastern Canada. This system will push a cold front over the Great Lakes and Midwest, producing scattered showers and thunderstorms throughout the day. There is a slight chance that some of these storms will turn severe with strong winds and large hail. Rainfall totals will range from 1 to 2 inches, with over 2 inches likely in areas of severe weather development.

Behind this activity in the West, a low pressure system will move over the Great Basin and into the Southern Rockies. Flow around this system will produce cooler temperatures across the West, while also triggering scattered showers over the Pacific Northwest, northern California, and Intermountain West. Snow showers may develop again across the highest elevations of the Northern Rockies.

Meanwhile in the East, high pressure builds from the Plains, over the Mississippi River Valley, and into the Eastern US. This will keep moisture away to the north, allowing for dry, sunny, and warm conditions. High temperatures will range in the 80s and 90s from the Central Plains through the Eastern Valleys, with parts of the Southern US reaching into the lower 100s.

Wind Advisory
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 3:23 AM PDT on May 25, 2012

... Wind Advisory remains in effect from 1 PM this afternoon to
2 am PDT Saturday...

A Wind Advisory remains in effect from 1 PM this afternoon to
2 am PDT Saturday.

* Affected area... Imperial County including the communities of
Imperial and el centro.

* Timing... winds will increase during the late morning hours and
become gusty by late afternoon. Strong gusty winds will continue
through the evening and past midnight... eventually tapering off by
early Saturday morning.

* Winds... southwest to west winds 20 to 35 mph with peak gusts
to around 50 mph.

* Impacts... strong winds may create areas of blowing sand and dust
which will sharply lower visibilities and create dangerous driving
conditions. Shifting Crosswinds will also make driving difficult
for high profile vehicles... especially on east-west roads such as
interstates 8 and 10.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Wind Advisory means that sustained wind speeds of between
30 and 40 mph are expected... or wind gusts of between 40 and
58 mph. Winds this strong can make driving difficult... especially
for high profile vehicles. In addition... strong winds over desert
areas could result in briefly lowered visibilities to well under
a mile at times in blowing dust or blowing sand. Use extra
caution.
