Weather Underground midday recap for Friday,August 19,2016
Many areas of wet weather developed across the US on Friday as multiple weather systems moved through the nation. A cold front triggered scattered showers and thunderstorms from the southern Plains through the upper Midwest on Friday. Moderate to heavy showers and thunderstorms developed from the Great Lakes through Texas. This system had a slight chance of severe thunderstorm development across the central Plains with the main threats of strong winds and large hail possible from northern Oklahoma through Iowa. Severe storms have not yet developed and heaviest rainfall was reported at Volk, Wisconsin with a midday total of 2.22 inches of rain. The back side of this system also allowed for heavy rainfall to develop across the northern Plains and northern Rockies, with the heaviest rainfall reported at Spearfish, South Dakota with a midday total of 1.20 inches of rain.
To the south, warm and humid conditions allowed for shower and thunderstorm activity to persist for the Southeast and Tennessee Valley. Meanwhile high pressure built over the West Coast and brought warm and dry conditions to the West. Excessive heat advisories have been issued across the Pacific Northwest due to anticipated high temperatures ranging from 15 to 25 degrees above normal. Fire danger remained high across the West with these conditions.
