Monsoonal flow coinciding with a frontal boundary will focus more showers and thunderstorms across the central Great Basin, central Rockies, Southwest into the Southern Plains. Heavy rainfall may bring about instances of flash flooding. Meanwhile, record setting heat continues for the Pacific Northwest through Monday. Heat combining with dry conditions could allow for any fires to quickly spread. Read More >

A strong low pressure system across the Central Plains the morning of April 28, 2014, in conjunction with a strong area of high pressure over Hudson Bay, produced a significant pressure gradient across the Upper Midwest. As a result, strong non-thunderstorm winds were felt across the Northland, especially along the southwest portion of Lake Superior. Many trees were uprooted, and damage was sustained to cars, houses, and fences. |
