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.

... Safety rules for severe thunderstorms...

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch or warning has been issued by the
National Weather Service. The following tips are being provided
while the watch or warning is in effect.

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are favorable for the
development of severe weather in and close to the watch area. If you
are in the watch area... monitor weather conditions closely. These
storms can develop rapidly so there may be occasions when advanced
warning is not possible.

A Severe Thunderstorm Warning means a severe thunderstorm has been
observed or indicated by radar. If you are near or in the path of
this storm... take immediate actions to protect life and property.
Follow these safety rules.

In open country... you should seek shelter and avoid trees which can
be targets for lightning. If there is no shelter... go to a ditch or
culvert but beware of rising water or flash flooding.

When indoors... stay away from windows and go to an interior room.

In Mobile homes... you should leave and seek a nearby safe shelter.

If swimming or on a boat... move to shore as quickly as possible and
find shelter.

A thunderstorm is considered severe when it contains one inch or
larger diameter size hail or wind gusts of 58 mph or greater. A
severe thunderstorm may contain a combination of these two elements
as well as very heavy rain and deadly lightning.

Remember... with some severe thunderstorms there is the possibility
of tornadoes.
