Weather Underground Forecast for Saturday, August 03, 2013.
Showers and thunderstorms will persist for the center of the nation on
Saturday as a low pressure system continues sliding off the Rockies and
into the Plains. Flow around this system will pull abundant moisture and
energy in from the Gulf of Mexico, creating favorable conditions for
shower and thunderstorm activity from the Central and Southern Plains
through the Mid and Lower Mississippi River Valley. There is a slight
chance that these storms will turn severe with strong winds, large hail,
and periods of heavy rainfall. If severe storms develop, they will most
likely be contained to the Central High Plains. However, flood
advisories will remain in effect for parts of Missouri and the
Mid-Mississippi River Valley. Ahead of this system, a weaker trough of
low pressure and associated cold front that brought a few scattered
showers to the Great Lakes and Midwest will slide southeastward, over
the Ohio River Valley and into the Eastern states. Heavy rainfall and
strong storms are not anticipated with this system.
In the West, a ridge of high pressure strengthens over the West Coast
and builds northward, pushing moisture away from the west. Expect
chances of showers and thunderstorms to diminish for the Four Corners,
while rain in the Northern Rockies also tapers off.
