Strong thunderstorms will extend from northeastern Texas
into the lower Mississippi Valley as a cold front dips further south. The
storms, which began on Sunday, rolled through Texas and Tennessee producing
hail and strong wind gusts leaving hundreds of people without power for various
hours.
As Tuesday progresses, the cold front will begin to weaken
as it moves east decreasing the threat for heavy showers and thunderstorms,
although soggy weather will remain for the southeast until the middle of the
week when drier weather is forecast to make a comeback.
Portions of the southwest and central United States will also
have their fair share of soggy weather as moisture from weakening tropical
storm Simon take aim at that part of the nation. Simon, which was once a
powerful category 4, has encountered much cooler waters that have inhibited
further strengthening forcing this system to slowly fall apart and degrade in
status.
As the storm makes landfall in Baja California, heavy rain
and thunderstorms will begin to move further inland reaching portions of
southern California and Arizona as early as Tuesday. Downpours will then
continue to track further east extending from eastern Arizona into western New
Mexico possibly dampening outdoor activities such as the International Balloon
Fiesta in Albuquerque.
As this system moves into the central portion of the
country, heavy rains may be responsible for localized flash flooding that may
lead to air and ground commute delays from Tennessee into the Ohio valley.
Enjoy your evening,
Jen Gonzalez
