Extreme Weather Blog for August 18, 2015

Good Evening,

Well the wet weather associated with the strong cold front moving through the Plains, will advance eastward into the Upper MS River valley bringing widespread rains, possible flash flooding as well. Behind this front we are seeing some very cool air with overnight lows falling into the lower 50's and a few upper 40's across North Dakota. This is just the teaser to the event on tap for the end of the month.

We are also watching an Invest in the Atlantic for possible tropical development in the coming days as it continues tracking west-northwestward towards the Central Atlantic.  This system bears watching as it continues to develop in the coming days.

A few International headlines to end the evening.

A tornado was reported in the Yokohama Japan area, causing minor damage to buildings in the area.  We are also watching two very potent Typhoons that are tracking across the Western Pacific, as they are going to bear down on Taiwan and Japan early next week.  These typhoons will also have some extreme weather impacts in the United States around the end of the month, as they rise up into the Arctic and drop back down along the Polar Front Jet, could create some very cold air over portions of the Northern Plains, we will need to watch this for possible light frost across North Dakota and Northern Montana and the Arrowhead of Minnesota.

Enjoy your evening,
