Discussion              

Flash flooding and a severe weather threat are on the table today as a powerful storm system slides from the Southwest US to the south-central states. Ingredients are coming together around here for heavy rain and possible severe thunderstorm activity including a low-level flow of very moist and mild air from the Gulf of Mexico ahead of the intensifying surface low pressure. This low will strengthen as it pushes northward later today from the south-central US towards the Great Lakes. On Friday, the primary (initial) low will grind to a halt over the Great Lakes and transfer its energy to a secondary low likely to form just off the northern Mid-Atlantic coastline. The weather calms down here by tomorrow night and this weekend looks decent as high pressure edges into the SE US.
