Weather Underground midday recap for Tuesday,August 13,2013.
The nearly stationary weather pattern over the East and Central U.S.
became more progressive over the East on Tuesday. A cold front extending
from the Mid-Atlantic through the Southern Plains became positioned
from the Central Appalachians through the Tennessee Valley this
afternoon, while another cold front to the north dropped to the south
and east through the Midwest. Ample moisture and energy along and to the
south of these disturbances maintained showers, areas of heavy rain and
thunderstorms through the day from the lower Midwest through the
Southeast. Clusters of strong to potentially severe storms were expected
in the coastal areas of the Mid-Atlantic into Lower New England with
strong to damaging wind gusts Tuesday evening through Tuesday night.
Meanwhile, an associated warm front lifted northward from the
Mid-Atlantic through the Northeast with showers and locally heavy rain
with areas of localized flooding.
Behind this activity, favorable moist conditions support more scattered
to numerous showers and thunderstorms in the Southern Plains and Ozarks
with areas of heavy rain and threats of flooding and flash flooding.
Eastern Oklahoma into areas of southeastern Kansas and Arkansas were
placed under various flood and flash flood statements through the day.
Out West, monsoonal moisture will continue across areas of the Four
Corners with more afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. To
the north, strong to severe clusters of thunderstorms developed in the
Northern High Plains with chances of hail and damaging wind gusts.
