Weather Underground midday recap for Monday,August 19,2013.
Heavy rain remained possible along the Central Gulf Coast on Monday,
while scattered showers continued in parts of the East. Sufficient
moisture over the southeastern quadrant of the nation supported showers
and thunderstorms in the region as a nearly stationary front lingered
from the Central Gulf Coast through the region to the South Carolina
coast. Stronger storms in the region were capable of producing locally
heavy rainfall, strong wind gusts and lightning. Today's rainfall
combined with recent heavy rains during the weekend maintained threats
of flooding in the Florida Panhandle, western and central Georgia, and
coastal areas of the Carolinas. Rivers mainly in the Florida Panhandle
and extreme southern Alabama were expected to remain at action stage or
experience minor flooding. In addition to rain and thunderstorms, a
moderate risk of rip currents continued for these coastal areas on
Monday. Outside of this area, scattered showers and chances of
thunderstorms continued northward through the Tennessee Valley into the
southeastern Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic.
Meanwhile in the North, a cold front continued eastward cross the
north-central U.S. this afternoon and supported chances of showers and
thunderstorms from the Northern Plains into northern Minnesota and
northern Wisconsin.
Out West, monsoonal moisture triggered afternoon and evening shower and
thunderstorm activity in the Four Corners. Meanwhile, low pressure
located near the central California coast triggered chances of
thunderstorms in California and heightened fire weather conditions in
central and northern parts of the state.
