Weather Summary
Kari Kiefer
Weather Underground Forecast for Saturday, May 26, 2012.

Subtropical Storm Beryl formed late Friday off the Carolina Coast and is expected to move slowly southwestward over the weekend. The storm may maintain tropical storm strength as it approaches the northeast coast of Florida later Sunday night. The storm itself may dump a significant amount of rain on this part of Florida and adjacent areas of Georgia, potentially good news to an area that is currently in an exceptional drought.

The main weather feature over the nation will be a low pressure system moving off the Rockies and into the Plains on Saturday. Flow around this system continues pushing a warm front eastward, over the Plains and through the Midwest. Expect widespread showers and thunderstorms to develop along this frontal boundary, from the Northern and Central Plains through the Great Lakes. Some of these storms will turn severe with strong winds, large hail, and heavy rainfall. Severe thunderstorms are most likely over Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa. By Saturday evening, the tail end of this system will reach the Northeast, bringing lighter and more widespread showers and thunderstorms to the region.

The back side of this broad low pressure system will continue pulling cool air in from Canada. This will allow for rain showers to turn to snow showers at the highest elevations of the Northern Rockies, Intermountain West, and Central Rockies. At the same time, strong and gusty winds will persist for the southern side of this system. In combination with warm and dry conditions, this will maintain high fire danger for the Southwest and Southern Rockies.

Wind Advisory
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 3:43 AM CDT on May 26, 2012

... Wind Advisory in effect from 2 PM this afternoon to 9 PM CDT
this evening...

The National Weather Service in Hastings has issued a Wind
Advisory... which is in effect from 2 PM this afternoon to 9 PM
CDT this evening.

* Timing... the wind will increase through the afternoon hours
with the strongest winds expected by mid to late afternoon and
these strong southerly winds should persist into the early
evening hours.

* Winds... southerly winds of 25 to 35 mph are expected with gusts
to 45 mph.

* Impacts... outdoor objects should be secured so they are not
blown around by the strong winds. In addition... driving may be
difficult today... especially for high profile vehicles traveling
east or west. Those traveling to the lake this Holiday weekend
may see dangerous boating conditions today with many White Caps.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Wind Advisory means that sustained wind speeds between 30 to
39 mph or gusts between 45 to 57 mph are expected. Winds this
strong can make driving difficult... especially for high profile
vehicles. Use extra caution.
