Weather Underground midday recap for Monday,September 9,2013.
Strong thunderstorms continued to drive through the northern Midwest on
Monday as a low pressure system entered the Great Lakes region. Warm
weather persisted in the southern Midwest and into the Southeast due to a
high pressure system over the area. Thunderstorms were also observed in
the Great Basin and Southwest during the morning and early afternoon
hours on Monday.
Excess heat watches were issued in Minnesota and Wisconsin late Monday
morning as an unstable, low pressure system moved through the area.
Strong thunderstorms were observed over northern Minnesota, while
temperatures in the central and southern Plains remained very warm.
Temperatures spiked into the 90s and 100s over a large portion of the
Plains, while similar weather was also observed in the Southeast. Spotty
thunderstorms continued to pop up over southern Texas, as well as in
southern Florida. Temperatures throughout much of the Northeast stayed
around 70 degrees and little to no precipitation was observed.
Flood statements were issued around the Great Basin and Southwest
earlier today as thunderstorms continued to linger in the region. Due to
the fact that grounds were already saturated from the previous few
days, mountain slopes and adjacent valleys were much more prone to
flooding events. Flash flood statements were issued in Utah, New Mexico,
Arizona, and parts of southeast California. High pressure off of the
west coast provided warm, dry temperatures for the majority of the
western states.
