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.

Special Weather Statement
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 8:41 AM PDT on May 25, 2012

... Much cooler today and Saturday...

Breezy to locally windy conditions will continue across the
higher elevations of the southern Sierra Nevada... the Tehachapi
Mountains... and High Desert of Kern County.

An abnormally cool low pressure area for this time of the year
will affect the region today and Saturday. Temperatures today will
be 15 to 20 degrees below normal. This system will bring a chance
of showers and thunderstorms to the southern Sierra Nevada
today... with a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms over
the central San Joaquin Valley and the Sierra foothills this
afternoon and evening. There will be a chance of showers over
the southern Sierra Nevada Saturday... decreasing Saturday night.
The snow level today and Saturday will be around 6000 feet... but
could be locally lower in heavier showers.

Dry weather will return Sunday as the low pressure system moves
east of the region. Temperatures are expected to warm to near
normal Sunday and Memorial Day.
