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 8:15 AM MDT on May 25, 2012

... Wind Advisory remains in effect until 11 PM PDT /11 PM MST/ this
evening...

A Wind Advisory remains in effect until 11 PM PDT /11 PM MST/ this
evening for most of southern Nevada and southeast California and
the Lake Mead National Recreation Area and Colorado River valley.

* Winds: southwest winds at 25 to 35 mph with gusts up to 55 mph
possible.

* Timing: winds will increase this morning with the strongest
winds expected during the afternoon... before decreasing by late
evening.

* Locations: included but not limited to
Pahrump... Beatty... Boulder City... Laughlin... Primm... Death
Valley... Yucca Valley... Morongo Valley... Needles... Lake Mead
National Recreation Area. The Las Vegas Valley is also currently
under a Wind Advisory... but is included in another segment.

* Impacts: strong winds will likely impact Memorial Day weekend
travelers particularly those in high profile vehicles such as
motor homes and campers... as well as those towing trailers and
boats. Motorists should be prepared for difficult driving
conditions. Areas of blowing sand and dust are possible...
especially near Dry Lake beds. Visibilities may be reduced at
times due to the blowing sand and dust. Strong winds will
generate rough waters within the Lake Mead National Recreation
Area.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Wind Advisory means that Crosswinds are expected to be strong
enough to 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.

The strong winds will create dangerous boating conditions on area
lakes. These winds will create very choppy water and generate
large waves which could capsize or swamp small craft. For your
personal safety... operators of small craft are urged to postpone
their outings until the winds subside.
