Weather Summary

Weather Underground midday recap for Thursday, May 23, 2013.

Severe storms developed over the Southern Plains from northern Texas through northern Oklahoma on Thursday. A trough of low pressure lingered over the region, which pulled moisture and energy in from the Gulf of Mexico. This allowed for showers and thunderstorms to develop in these areas, some of which turned severe with large hail, damaging winds, and periods of heavy rainfall. A brief tornado was reported near Cedar Hill, Texas. Hail 2.5 inches in diameter was reported near Davis, Oklahoma and 65 mph winds were reported at Newcastle and Dickson, Oklahoma. Rainfall totals varied over 2 inches with this system. Oklahoma City reported a mid-day total of 2.92 inches of rain.

Meanwhile in the East, a trough of low pressure over the East Coast allowed for a strong cold front to stretch from the Northeast through the Eastern Valleys. Moisture ahead of this front allowed for showers to develop from the Carolinas through Maine, with some areas of thunderstorms. There was a slight chance that these storms would turn severe from Virginia through New Hampshire, but severe storms have not developed.

Meanwhile Out West, a low pressure system mover the Rockies maintained widespread showers across the Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies. Strong winds developed ahead of this system from eastern Montana through western Colorado. Gillette, Wyoming reported maximum winds up to 56 mph.

Flash Flood Watch
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 1:01 PM EDT on May 23, 2013

... Flash Flood Watch in effect until 8 PM EDT this evening...

The National Weather Service in Charleston has issued a

* Flash Flood Watch for portions of West Virginia... central West
Virginia... northern West Virginia and southern West Virginia...
   including the following areas... in West Virginia...
Pocahontas. In central West Virginia... Braxton... Calhoun...
Clay... Gilmer... Jackson WV... Roane... Taylor and Webster. In
northern West Virginia... Barbour... Doddridge... Harrison...
Lewis... Pleasants... Randolph... Ritchie... Tyler... Upshur...
Wirt and wood. In southern West Virginia... Boone... Kanawha...
Lincoln... Logan and Putnam.

* Until 8 PM EDT this evening

* showers and thunderstorms will continue to increase in coverage
through the afternoon. These will be capable of producing an
inch in an hour... locally higher possible for locations that see
brief training. The ground is rather wet from the past few days
of rain. Thus... these rates and amounts will increase the threat for
flash flooding this afternoon... particularly in the more flashy
creeks and small streams.

* Persons living near small streams and creeks should monitor
water levels.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should flash flood warnings be issued.
