Weather Summary

Weather Underground Forecast for Tuesday, May 21, 2013.

After a devastating severe weather day in the Plains on Monday, severe weather is expected to fire up again across the nation's mid-section again on Tuesday.

The nearly stationary low over the Northern Plains will gradually weaken as it shifts eastward into the Midwest on Tuesday, while the system's associated cold front trails southwestward from the low across the Mid-Mississippi Valley through the Southern Plains. Favorable energy and conditions ahead of the cold front combined with the moisture laden conditions of the nation's mid-section will set the stage for multiple clusters of thunderstorms to develop from the Midwest into the Ozarks and the Southern Plains. Portions of northeastern Texas, extreme southeastern Oklahoma, central and southern Arkansas, and northwestern Louisiana are at moderate risk of severe thunderstorm activity as environmental conditions remain favorable for tornadoes, damaging wind gusts, and very large hail. Areas surrounding this moderate risk region from the parts of central and eastern Texas into the Upper Great Lakes are at slight risk of severe thunderstorm development with hail, damaging wind gusts, and isolated tornadoes.

Meanwhile, areas of heavy rain and widely scattered showers will continue near the low in the Northern Plains and Upper Mississippi Valley and near and to the north of a nearly stationary frontal boundary extending out ahead of the system from the Great Lakes into the Northeast. Continued precipitation in already saturated areas of the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest will maintain flood concerns from parts of North Dakota into northern Wisconsin.

Elsewhere, scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to persist in the Mid-Atlantic and southeastern corner of the nation.

Severe Thunderstorm Watch
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 1:40 PM EDT on May 21, 2013

The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

* Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of
northwest Connecticut
western Massachusetts
New York
southern Vermont
Lake Erie
Lake Ontario

* effective this Tuesday afternoon and evening from 140 PM until
900 PM EDT.

* Primary threats include...
several large hail events with a few very large hail events to 2
    inches in diameter possible
several damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible

The Severe Thunderstorm Watch area is approximately along and 55
statute miles north and south of a line from 10 miles west
northwest of Buffalo New York to 30 miles south southeast of
Pittsfield Massachusetts. For a complete depiction of the watch
see the associated watch outline update (wous64 kwns wou3).

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

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.


Other watch information... continue... ww 201... ww 202...

Discussion... scattered vigorous storm development is underway
near/south of a frontal zone extending across the lower Great Lakes
region into New England. In the presence of thermodynamic profiles
characterized by fairly steep mid-level lapse rates and large
cape... shear beneath 30 kt west northwesterly mid-level flow may
support organized storm development... perhaps at least brief
supercell structures. With time... consolidation of cold pools
generated by activity may occur... resulting in one or more east
southeastward progressing small storm clusters with the risk for
potentially damaging wind gusts... in addition to severe hail.

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 29025.
