National Weather Summary for August 5,2013 from weatherunderground.com

Weather Underground midday recap for Monday, August 5,2013.

Unsettled weather picked up in the nation's mid-section on Monday as a trough of low pressure dipped from Canada into the Northern Plains and the Upper Midwest. Showers and thunderstorms were expected to increase in coverage from the Northern Plains into the Upper Great Lakes and parts of the Ohio Valley through the day. A few storms in southeastern Minnesota, western Wisconsin, and Iowa had the potential to produce isolated areas of large hail, damaging wind gusts, and possibly a weak, brief tornado. Severe weather also became possible across portions of the Central and Northern Plains on Monday with primary risks of large hail and damaging winds. Meanwhile to the south, moisture pooling along a disturbance extending across the Central and Southern Plains stirred up more rain and thunderstorm activity across southeast Kansas and southwest Missouri. Heavy rainfall totals were expected for areas of southeast Kansas and southwest Missouri and maintained flood and flash flood concerns throughout the region.

Elsewhere, cool, fall-like weather continued for the Midwest and the Northeast, while showers and thunderstorms continued in Florida. In the West, scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms were expected in the Southwest as the region\'s monsoon persists.
