Weather Summary

Weather Underground Forecast for Saturday, May 25, 2013.

Showers and thunderstorms will develop again across the Northern and Central Plains on Saturday as a low pressure system continues moving eastward across the center of the nation. The system will continue pulling moisture and energy northward from the Gulf of Mexico, bringing showers and thunderstorms to the region from the Northern High Plains into the Mid-Mississippi River Valley. There is a chance that these storms will turn severe across eastern Montana and western North and South Dakotas and western Nebraska. Large hail, damaging winds, and periods of heavy rainfall are likely in these areas, with possibly a few tornadoes. This system will move relativity slowly, thus, expect flooding concerns to increase over the region.

To the south, onshore flow will persist for Texas, maintaining showers and thunderstorms throughout the state on Saturday. Severe storms are not anticipated, but heavy rainfall and problems with flooding may persist for the region. In the East, showery weather will continue for the Northeast on Saturday as a low pressure system lingers over the region. Strong and gusty winds will also continue as this system slowly moves offshore. Out West, another disturbance brings more rain to Washington and Oregon Saturday night into Sunday. High pressure dominating across California and the Desert Southwest will keep most of this moisture away to the north. Thus, expect another sunny and dry day for the rest of the West Coast.

... On this date in weather history...

In 1955... two violent F5 tornadoes struck north central
Oklahoma and extreme south central Kansas. The first
tornado... possessing a track 25 miles long and around one
half mile wide... tore through downtown Blackwell Oklahoma
where 20 were killed... 280 were injured... and $8 million
damage resulted. Around 400 homes were destroyed... many
of which were swept from their foundations. Around 60
businesses were heavily damaged or destroyed. Prior to
hitting Blackwell the tornado caused $150,000 damage to
Tonkawa. The lightning associated with the tornado was
intense. The vortex glowed and possessed arcs of glowing
light.The tragic Udall tornado immediately followed.
Possessing a track 30 miles long and averaging one half
mile wide... the tornado leveled most of Udall... killed
75... injured 270... and caused $2.25 million damage. The
tornado also killed 5 children 3 miles northeast of
Oxford... bringing the total number of fatalities to 80.
It is still the deadliest tornado in Kansas history. In
1917... another F5 tornado even larger than either the
Blackwell or Udall tornadoes roared across south central
Kansas. It had a track 65 miles long and reached one
mile wide. The tornado killed 23... injured 70... and
caused $600,000 damage from northwest Sedgwick to
Southeast Marion counties. Its average speed of 65 mph
was the fastest on record until the tri-state tornado of
March 18... 1925.
