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.

Tornado Watch
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 1:40 PM CDT on May 23, 2013

The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

* Tornado Watch for portions of
western Oklahoma
northwestern Texas

* effective this Thursday afternoon and evening from 140 PM until
1000 PM CDT.

* Primary threats include...
several tornadoes possible
numerous large hail events likely with a few very large hail
    events to 3 inches in diameter possible
several damaging wind gusts with a few significant gusts to 80
    mph possible

The Tornado Watch area is approximately along and 95 statute
miles east and west of a line from 20 miles north northwest of
Borger Texas to 90 miles west of Abilene Texas. For a complete
depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update
(wous64 kwns wou3).

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Remember... a Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for
tornadoes and 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.


Discussion... storms are initiating near weak developing frontal
wave... near the intersection of a convectively generated surface
boundary and gradually sharpening dryline. Rapid further intense
thunderstorm development is likely during the next few hours... in
the presence of very steep mid-level lapse rates... large cape... and
sufficient shear for supercells. Before storms begin to consolidate
with upscale convective growth later this afternoon and evening... a
few supercells are probable... some capable of producing very large
hail and tornadoes.

Aviation... tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail
surface and aloft to 3 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface
wind gusts to 70 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to
600. Mean storm motion vector 29015.
