Extreme Weather for Aug 15

Good evening,

Soggy conditions have been in store for parts of the Northwest and Rockies as thunderstorms that have at times been severe have moved through those areas producing damaging winds, hail and downpours that can lead to flash flooding.

Locally severe thunderstorms have been rumbling through the Northwest extending from Spokane into Idaho Falls before moving into the Rockies affecting major cities from Casper, WY into Denver. Some areas throughout the aforementioned cities, especially those in low-lying or with poor drainage, may quickly inundate therefore residents are asked to be on alert particularly when on commute. 

These drenching downpours are part of a slow moving storm system moving across the Northwest before stalling over the Rockies coming in contact with monsoon moisture heading in from the south. The risk for flash flooding with remain on Friday for the Northwest, however, a repeat of Thursday will be limited for the Rockies as moisture will be on the decrease. 

Tropics:

As we approach the heart of hurricane season, all remains quiet in the tropics.





Enjoy your evening, 

Jen Gonzalez
