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.

The National Weather Service and the National safe boating Council,
have partnered for National safe boating week from may 18 to may 24.
This week will highlight relevant weather... and safety specific
public service announcements... for the recreational boating public.

Today's topic is thunderstorm safety.

Thunderstorms can be a mariners worst nightmare. They can develop
quickly and create dangerous wind and wave conditions. Thunderstorms
can bring shifting and gusty winds... lightning... waterspouts... and
torrential downpours which can turn a days pleasure into a nightmare
of distress.

There are no specific warnings or advisories for lightning but all
thunderstorms produce lightning. A lightning strike to a vessel can
be catastrophic... especially if it results in a fire or loss of
electronics. If your boat has a cabin... then stay inside and avoid
touching metal or electrical devices. If your boat does not have a
cabin... stay as low as you can in the boat.

Boaters should use extra caution when thunderstorm conditions exist and
have a plan of escape. Mariners are especially vulnerable as at times they
may unable to reach port quickly. It is therefore strongly recommended you
do not venture out if thunderstorms are a possibility. If you do
venture out and recognize thunderstorms nearby... head to port or
safe shelter as quickly as possible. Ultimately... boating safety
begins ashore with planning and training. Keep in mind that
thunderstorms are usually brief so waiting it out is better than
riding it out.
