Weather Underground midday recap for Tuesday,September 10,2013.
Wet weather continued to pound the Great Basin and Southwest on Tuesday,
while excess heat warnings were issued along the eastern Midwest.
Thunderstorms remained stalled along the western Gulf of Mexico, as well
as the Florida coast.
More thunderstorms swept through the Southwest and Great Basin earlier
today, dampening an already saturated area and triggering more flash
floods across the region. Flood warnings were issued in New Mexico,
Colorado, Utah, and Arizona this morning as a result of persistent
thunderstorm activity. Localized rivers and streams were much more
vulnerable to precipitation compared to normal situations as
thunderstorms have persisted for several days. Meanwhile, the majority
of the West Coast experienced warm, dry conditions as high pressure
continued to dominate the area.
The Midwest recorded very warm conditions earlier today, sparking excess
heat warning advisories. Temperatures exceeded 100 degrees across the
eastern Midwest, while the bulk of the area observed temperatures above
85 degrees. Strong thunderstorms were also observed in northwest
Tennessee, while parts of the Texas coast also experienced spotty
thunderstorms.
The Northeast experienced spotty showers and thunderstorms earlier
Tuesday, while temperatures remained in the 60s and 70. The Southeast
recorded temperatures in the 80s and 90s, while parts of Florida
experienced spotty thunderstorms.
