Active Advisory: Severe Thunderstorm Watch (US Severe Weather) Active Notice: Record Report
Tropical Weather: Tropical Storm Alberto (North Atlantic) Invest 92 (East Pacific)
Weather Summary
Weather Underground Forecast for Sunday, May 20, 2012. The tropical season got off to a bit of an early start on Saturday as a tropical disturbance off the Carolina Coast became Tropical Storm Alberto. The storm is expected to slowly make its way up the eastern seaboard over the next couple of days, possibly skirting the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Rain and thunderstorms could make their way to the Mid-Atlantic coast as the storm moves northeastward. For more information on this storm, please see http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/.

Meanwhile, a cold front will move through the Plains on its way into the Upper Midwest and Mississippi Valley. This front will provide rain and thunderstorms from Oklahoma through Michigan. Some of these thunderstorms could turn severe, so residents in the Plains should stay on alert for any thunderstorm development in their area. Cool air will spill into the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest behind this front, bringing cool overnight temperatures to the Dakotas and Minnesota.

Also, mostly sunny skies are expected for California and the Southwest, making for nice viewing conditions for the solar eclipse. The eclipse will begin just after 5:00 p.m. Pacific time, and should be able to be viewed from California through western Texas.

The Northeast will rise into the 70s and 80s, while the Southeast will see temperatures in the 80s and 90s. The Mississippi Valley will also rise into the 80s and 90s, while the Southwest will see temperatures in the 90s and 100s.

Severe Thunderstorm Watch
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 12:25 PM CDT on May 20, 2012

The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of

       western and central Upper Michigan
       northern and central Wisconsin
       Lake Michigan
       Lake Superior

Effective this Sunday afternoon and evening from 1225 PM until
800 PM CDT.

Hail to 2 inches in diameter... thunderstorm wind gusts to 70
mph... and dangerous lightning are possible in these areas.

The Severe Thunderstorm Watch area is approximately along and 75
statute miles east and west of a line from 5 miles northeast of
Houghton Michigan to 40 miles west southwest of Oshkosh
Wisconsin. For a complete depiction of the watch see the
associated watch outline update (wous64 kwns wou5).

Remember... a Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are
favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch
area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for
threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements
and possible warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally
do produce tornadoes.

Discussion... storms are beginning to increase in coverage and
intensity along/ahead of a cold front moving across wrn WI. The
environment in the warm sector is moderately unstable with MLCAPE of
1500-2000 j/kg and continued afternoon heating will further steepen
low level lapse rates. Swly mid level winds of 40-50 kt are
contributing to favorable deep layer shear supportive of organized
convective structures including a few supercells and/or Bow echoes.
This will enhance wind gust potential with stronger storms... and
steep mid level lapse rates above the pbl will also promote large
hail as storms move ewd/newd this afternoon.

Aviation... a few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft
to 2 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60
knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm
motion vector 22030.
