Weather Underground midday recap for Thursday,October 3,2013.
A strong cold front boundary moved through the Great Basin and northern
Plains on Thursday, while the majority of the East Coast avoided
precipitation.
The Pacific Northwest got a break from rainy weather on Thursday as a
surge of dry air moved through the region. The Southwest experienced
similar conditions as a ridge of high pressure provided warm, clear
weather to the area. The Great Basin and northern Plains experienced
much different conditions as a low pressure system ignited wet weather.
The northern Rockies received heavy snow showers, as cold air allowed
for accumulations to occur. Moderate to heavy rain also fell at lower
elevations, as Cody, Wyoming reported a midday total of 1.79 inches of
rain.
A separate low pressure system ignited strong thunderstorms over the
central and upper Midwest on Thursday, as plenty of rain fell in the
upper Mississippi Valley. Hebron, Nebraska reported a midday total of
2.63 inches of rain. Just to the east, spotty showers and thunderstorms
impacted the Ohio Valley and parts of the Mid-Atlantic states.
A surge of tropical moisture began to inch into the Gulf Coast on
Thursday, providing showers and thunderstorms to southern Louisiana,
Mississippi, Alabama, and parts of the Florida panhandle. This surge of
moisture was the result of a Tropical Storm Karen, which continued to
gain strength in the Gulf of Mexico. The remainder of the East Coast
stayed dry on Thursday as a result of a ridge of high pressure.
