Thunderstorms Across the Southeast U.S.; Elevated to Locally Critical Fire Weather in Colorado

A few strong to marginally severe thunderstorms are possible across the Southeast U.S. Friday. A Marginal Risk (Level 1 of 5) outlook has been issued. Strong winds and hail will be the main threats. Elevated to locally critical fire weather conditions will persist across south-central Colorado today due to dry conditions and gusty winds. Read More >

If you live in Southcentral, you may already be expecting a rainy weekend, but exactly how much rain will fall? Well, we're forecasting anywhere from close to an inch at lower elevations to over two inches in Eastern Prince William Sound. This rain will fall over a two day period, so we're not expecting any flooding at this time. Colder air is still moving in, so if you're planning any high elevation camping or hunting, dress warmly and prepare for snow.

Cooler temperatures will also spread across the area, allowing snow levels to drop to between 3,500 and 6,000 feet by Sunday morning.

Those recreating in any of the mountain ranges across southern Alaska this weekend should plan for much colder conditions, including snow at the higher elevations.
