Weather Underground Forecast for Thursday,April 14,2016
Wet weather persists for the West on Thursday, with shower and thunderstorm activity continuing across the Gulf Coast.
A strong low pressure system in the Pacific Ocean moves into the Pacific Northwest, pulling abundant moisture onshore with it. This will allow for heavy rain to develop along a cold front associated with the system, with scattered showers developing behind the front. Wet weather will stretch from Washington, Oregon and northern California eastward into the northern Rockies. Cool air associated with this system will allow for snow showers to develop across the Cascades and northern Sierra Nevadas. Snowfall accumulation will range from 1 to 3 inches at highest elevations. Strong winds will accompany this system with gusts up to 40 mph in the mountains. By Thursday night, showers from the leading edge of the system will reach into the Dakotas.
Meanwhile, back East, a trough of low pressure over the Gulf of Mexico continues pushing abundant moisture onshore and allows for scattered showers and thunderstorms to persist from eastern Texas through Georgia. These areas may see a chance of severe thunderstorm development with strong winds and hail as the main threats. Flooding will also remain a concern for the area as the system has a history of producing 2 to 3 inches of rainfall in areas of severe thunderstorm development.
