Weather Summary

Weather Underground Forecast for Thursday, May 23, 2013. A strong, large storm will continue making its way through the eastern third of the country on Thursday, producing more, active weather east of the Mississippi Valley. While the active weather is not likely to produce the severe thunderstorms that have greeted the country over the past several days, scattered thunderstorms will be likely, especially in the Southeast. In addition, moderate to occasionally heavy rain will move through the Northeast, followed by cool showers in the Ohio Valley and Upper Midwest.

Meanwhile, some moisture pushing into the Southern Plains could possibly instigate some severe thunderstorms in northern Texas and western Oklahoma. Due to this possibility, the Storm Prediction Center has issued a slight risk of severe weather in the area for Thursday. This means residents in the area should prepare as if severe weather will develop, making any necessary preparations to protect life and property.

Also, a seasonably strong low pressure system will linger over the Pacific Northwest today, allowing wet weather to continue in the area. While rain will be the overwhelming precipitation due to this storm, a few snow showers will be possible in the higher elevations of the Cascades.

Additionally, rain will also spread as far east as central Montana.

The Northeast will rise into the 70s and 80s, while the Southeast will see temperatures in the 80s and 90s. The Southern Plains will rise into the 80s and 90s, while the Southwest will see similar temperatures.

Public Information Statement
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 10:07 PM MDT on May 22, 2013

The following is a list of some thunderstorm safety rules that
can be passed along to residents of... and visitors to... southern
Colorado.

If you plan to be outdoors... check the latest weather
information. If thunderstorms are in the forecast... you may want
to curtail outdoor activities.

If you are outdoors and hear thunder... you should immediately get
indoors into a substantial building... or get into any hard topped
vehicle. Lightning can strike several miles away from the storm...
where it is not raining and where you may be.

In Colorado... lightning can occur with thunderstorms that produce
little... if any... rain. Do not wait too long to take action.
Deadly lightning can occur with all thunderstorms. Wait
30 minutes until the last rumble of thunder before resuming
outdoor activities.

If you are caught outdoors during a lightning storm... and there
is no safe shelter nearby... there is not much you can do to
reduce your risk of being struck by lightning. The best thing to
do is find a low spot and stay away from trees. If you are in
the mountains and are above timberline... go to a lower area. If
you are below timberline... try to find an open area away from
trees. If you are in an area of dense trees... do your best to
stay away from the tallest trees.

If you are in a group... stay apart. If someone is struck...
others will be able to help the victim.

Remember... when thunder roars... go indoors.
