Weather Summary
Jessica Parker
Weather Underground midday recap for Sunday, May 27, 2012.

Tropical Storm Beryl, located about 110 miles east of Jacksonville, Florida, continued to effect the coasts of northeastern Florida and Georgia on Sunday. Beryl moved toward the west near 10 mph this afternoon, with sustained winds of 43 mph and gust to 52 mph. A westward motion was expected to continue through landfall Sunday night. Tropical storm conditions reached the coast of northeast Florida and southeastern Georgia this afternoon and were expected to continue through tonight. Dangerous surf conditions, including rip currents and storm surge effected coastal areas of northeastern Florida and Georgia, while rain spread inland. For more information on Tropical Storm Beryl, please visit http://www.wunderground.com/tropical.

Meanwhile, to the north, a deep storm from the Northwest moved into the Dakotas. The storm kicked up rain showers and high elevation snow across the Northern and Central Rockies and rain showers in North Dakota. Winter Weather Advisories remained in effect for elevations above 5,000 feet in the Northern Rockies through this evening. New snow accumulations of 1 to 3 inches were anticipated across the lower elevations, with 4 to 6 inches possible for higher elevations through this evening. Moist winds from this system also supported a few light showers and thunderstorms in parts of the Northern Intermountains West and Upper Central Great Basin.

Ahead of the system, an associated warm front reached from the Northern Plains through the Lower Great Lakes. Moisture from the Gulf of Mexico spread across the front and aided in producing rain and thunderstorms across northern Michigan and northwestern Pennsylvania. Behind this activity, a cold front with a wave of low pressure extended southwestward from the low and pushed across the Central Plains. Portions of the Central Plains, from northern Kansas across eastern Nebraska and northwestern Iowa and southwestern Minnesota were at moderate risk of severe weather development. The main concerns with severe storms in these areas were large hail events, damaging wind gusts, and possible tornadoes. A slight risk of severe development surrounded the moderate risk area from the Southern and Central Plains into the Upper Great Lakes. Parts of northeastern Ohio to extreme western New York were also at slight risk of severe weather development with damaging winds and heavy rainfall.

Flash Flood Watch, Areal Flood Advisory
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 3:24 PM CDT on May 27, 2012

... Flash Flood Watch remains in effect from 7 PM CDT this evening
through Monday morning...

The Flash Flood Watch continues for

* portions of Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin... including the
following areas... in Minnesota... Carlton/southern St. Louis...
central St. Louis... Crow Wing... northern Aitkin... northern
Cook/Northern Lake... Pine... southern Aitkin... southern
Cook/Lakeshore... southern Itasca and Southern Lake/Lakeshore.
In northwest Wisconsin... Burnett... Douglas and Washburn.

* From 7 PM CDT this evening through Monday morning

* heavy rainfall along a cold front on saturated soils will
allow for the potential of flash flooding... with 1 to 2 inches
of rain in short period of time possible.

* If you live near a river... stream or in a low lying area... be
sure to monitor for possible flash flood warnings and be ready
to head to cover in the event flooding occurs. This could be a
very dangerous situation where water rises very quickly.

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.





240 PM CDT sun may 27 2012

The National Weather Service in Duluth MN has extended the

* Urban and Small Stream Flood Advisory for...
southern Aitkin County in east central Minnesota...
Crow Wing County in east central Minnesota...
this includes the city of Brainerd...
southern Cass County in north central Minnesota...

* until 230 PM CDT Monday

* heavy rain fell overnight... with both radar estimates and
observations showing 2 to 4 inches across southern Cass... much of
Crow Wing and portions of Aitkin counties. The bulk of the rain
has ended for the time. More thunderstorms will form this
afternoon and evening... and could lead to a prolonged period
of flooding. Saturated soils will result in efficient runoff
and overland flow quickly filling drainages and streams.


Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Most flood deaths occur in automobiles. Never drive your vehicle into
areas where the water covers the roadway. Flood waters are usually
deeper than they appear. Just one foot of flowing water is powerful
enough to sweep vehicles off the Road. When encountering flooded
roads make the smart choice... turn around... dont drown. Night time
flooding is particularly dangerous as conditions are difficult to
identify in the dark.

Be especially cautious near swollen streams and drainages as the banks
maybe very unstable. Too often curiosity of rushing water distracts from
the real danger. Keep yourself and your loved ones safe... stay away from
rushing waters

To report flooding... have the nearest law enforcement agency relay
your report to the National Weather Service forecast office.
