Severe thunderstorms and blinding downpours will continue to
be a threat for the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes region for the remainder of
this evening through the early hours of tomorrow.
As a cold front makes its way across the area, severe
weather will be present in its full capacity with torrential downpours that
will increase the risk of flash flooding, golf ball sized hail and gusty winds
reaching 70mph which when combined can lead to downed trees that can result in possible
power outages as well as damaged roofs and structures. Some moderation in
weather is expected through the aforementioned areas as the day progresses on
Friday.
There is a slight possibility that the portions of Southwest
may be in for much needed rain this weekend that may put an end to or at least
somewhat east the drought that has been plaguing that area for quite some time.
Tropical systems Norbert and what remains of Dolly are
expected to drag enough moisture into some of the drought stricken areas while
others, unfortunately the ones which need it most, will not receive any rain as
most of the moisture is forecast to be centered mostly over Arizona and western
New Mexico with part of it making it into southern California. Rain, even in
the slightest form will be welcomed as the drought California has been facing
recently is a contender as one of the top two or three worst in that state in
over a century.
Enjoy your evening,
Jen Gonzalez
