Here's the US National Weather Summary for Saturday,September 29,2012,as of 11:30PM,EDT/ 8:30PM,PDT,September 29,2012,from weatherunderground.com,enjoy:
Heavy rains continued across Texas on Saturday, while showers and
thunderstorms moved into the Carolinas. A low pressure system
strengthened as it moved over Texas and spread tropical moisture across
the state. At the same time, the system pulled moisture in from the Gulf
of Mexico, which kicked up heavy rainfall across most of central and
northern Texas. The system moved eastward throughout the day and
approached the Lower Mississippi River Valley. Heaviest rainfall was
reported in Abilene, Texas with a mid-day total of 3.84 inches of rain.
Thus, flash flood advisories were issues throughout the region. Strong
winds also accompanied this strong low pressure system with gusts from
40 to 50 mph across parts of Texas and the Lower Mississippi River
Valley.
Meanwhile to the east, a low pressure system over the Northeast pulled
northeastward and into far eastern Canada. The system pushed a cold
front offshore, which allowed for showers and thunderstorms to diminish
across New England. However, rain showers persisted for parts of Maine,
as well as along the southern side of the front as it moved into the
Carolinas and the Southeast. Heaviest rainfall associated with this
frontal boundary was reported in Burlington, North Carolina with a
mid-day total of 1.17 inches of rain. This system has a history of
producing strong and damaging winds, but severe storms have not
developed.
Out West, a cold front dropped into the Pacific Northwest from British
Columbia and brought cooler temperatures and partly cloudy skies. High
pressure built over the rest of the West Coast and created a hot and dry
day. Fire danger increased for most of California.
