Weather Underground midday recap for Thursday,August 11,2016
Tropical moisture over the Gulf Coast maintained heavy rainfall for the region on Thursday with scattered showers persisting across most of the Southeast. A low pressure system lingered over the northern Gulf of Mexico and continued pulling moisture northward into the Southeast. This maintained heavy rainfall and flooding for the Gulf Coast from Louisiana through the panhandle of Florida. Heaviest rainfall was reported at Gonzales, Louisiana with a midday total of 4.13 inches of rain. Gulfport, Mississippi reported 3.56 inches of rain and Pensacola, Florida reported 3.42 inches of rain. Flooding remained of concern in these regions as the area has seen heavy rainfall since Sunday.
Meanwhile in the North, a strong low pressure system and associated cold front swept through the upper Midwest and produced heavy rainfall and strong thunderstorms early on Thursday. These storms had a slight chance of severe thunderstorm development from eastern Nebraska through Iowa. Strong winds blew down multiple trees in Davenport, Iowa. Heaviest rainfall from this system was reported in Montevideo, Minnesota with a midday total of 3.10 inches of rain.
Out West, high pressure maintained dry conditions on the West Coast, but monsoonal moisture allowed for more showers and thunderstorms to develop across the Four Corners through the central Rockies.
