Weather Underground midday recap for Sunday,September 15,2013.
Hurricane Ingrid continued to provide thunderstorms for southern Texas
as it moved closer to the east coast of Mexico. Southern Florida also
experienced intense thunderstorms on Sunday, but these thunderstorms
were not associated with Hurricane Ingrid. The northeast Plains and
parts of the Rockies felt the effects of a frontal boundary that
extended from the Great Lakes to Colorado, while the Pacific Northwest
experienced showers along the coast.
Flash Flooding continued to threaten communities in New Mexico,
Colorado, Utah, and parts of Wyoming as spotty thunderstorms developed
in the region. Although the thunderstorms were not severe, saturated
grounds made the area much more vulnerable to flooding. Meanwhile,
thunderstorms associated with the same frontal boundary impacted the
northern Plains on Sunday as a cold front trekked southeastward.
Strong thunderstorms developed over southern Florida earlier today,
bringing intense winds and heavy rain to the region. Wind speeds were
reported between 50 and 60 mph as these thunderstorms moved through the
state.
Across the Gulf of Mexico, Hurricane Ingrid inched closer to eastern
Mexico. Although the storm was located several hundred miles south of
the Texas border, strong thunderstorms associated with Ingrid’s outer
rain bands impacted the southern tip of Texas. For more information

A weak cold front made its way through the Pacific Northwest earlier
today, bringing showers to western Washington, as well as parts of
northwest Oregon. The remainder of the West Coast experienced dry
conditions, while temperatures stayed very warm in the Southwest.
