Weather Underground midday recap for Thursday, August 1,2013.
The nation saw multiple areas of active weather on Thursday as two
weather systems continued moving through the country. In the East,
showers and thunderstorms developed over the Eastern Seaboard on
Thursday as a cold front stretched from the Northeast through the Gulf
of Mexico. This system kicked up periods of heavy rainfall over the
southeast and the Mid-Atlantic states. The northern side of this system
brought more storms to New England which lingered throughout most of the
day. Heaviest rainfall was reported in Greenville, Alabama with a
midday total of 2.73 inches of rain. Some of these storms created severe
thunderstorms with strong winds. Multiple trees were blown down and
hail up to quarter size were reported near Rutherfordton, North
Carolina.
Meanwhile in the West, a low pressure system over the Rockies produced
shower and thunderstorm activity from the Southwest and the Southern
Rockies through the Intermountain West and Northern Rockies. As these
storms advanced into the Plains, some storms turned severe with strong
winds and hail. There was a slight risk of severe thunderstorm activity
from Montana through Nebraska. Large hail with a diameter of 2.5 inches
was reported in Tuthill, South Dakota.
