Weather Underground midday recap for Thursday, August 8,2013. The most
active weather feature in the country Thursday continued to be a long
front that stretched from the Plains and into the Upper Midwest. This
front moved slowly eastward into the Northeast as the day progressed. A
moderate amount of moisture accompanied the front and produced areas of
scattered showers and thunderstorms. The strongest of these
thunderstorms occurred in Kansas and Oklahoma hours before gradually
diminishing as the day progressed. Isolated thunderstorms also popped up
in the Appalachians, aided by the warmth of the Summertime sun.
More rain moved into southern Missouri in the afternoon, further complicating the flooding situation in the state.
Mostly dry conditions were noted through the West even as a low pressure
system approached the coast. This system brought cooler than normal
temperatures to the West Coast and parts of the Southwest. These cool
conditions will continue for one more day, before a gradual warming
trend is expected through the weekend.
The Northeast rose into the 70s, while the Southeast saw temperatures in
the 80s and 90s. The Southern Plains rose into the 90s and 100s, while
the Southwest saw similar temperatures.
