Extreme Weather for August 31

Good afternoon,


The holiday weekend will be a wet one across the North Central portion of the nation as an outbreak of severe weather is set to take aim in that region.

A few tornadoes will accompany this outbreak which is being triggered by a storm system that has developed over the Rockies and is expected to wreak havoc throughout North Dakota and the northwestern portion of South Dakota through this evening before heading east extending from Kansas City into St. Cloud. Along with tornadoes, the strongest thunderstorms to accompany this outbreak are expected to bring severe weather in its entirety including strong, damaging winds as well as hail and torrential downpours which will null all outdoor activities and cause all types of travel delays. 

As we approach Labor Day, a new round of severe weather will develop bringing similar weather to that which will be seen this weekend with the greatest concern becoming flooding downpours all of which can be seen from Kalamazoo, MI into portions of Missouri extending east into Indiana. By Tuesday, things are expected to be much calmer as the threat for severe weather will begin to diminish.

Tropics:

After churning in the north Atlantic for a few days, Cristobal is no longer in existence and the tropics are relatively quiet right now. 

Have a safe and happy Labor Day weekend!
