Dangerous heat will expand from the Gulf Coast into the Southern Plains and Desert Southwest through week's end. Additional extreme heat impacting the Pacific Northwest will shift to the northern Plains by the weekend. Tropical Storm Bertha is expected to continue to impact portions of the northern Gulf Coast from the western Florida Panhandle to southeastern Louisiana through tonight. Read More >
Overview
|
Temperatures in the 90s and high moisture in the low levels led to diurnally driven thunderstorms on Friday, June 11th. Weak upper level support kept these storms relatively isolated and short-lived. Another focus area for convection was along a remnant outflow boundary from an MCS that morning, which led to some further storm development later in the day. One storm reached severe limits, which was seen in Burlington, Iowa. This storm resulted in strong winds, over 50 mph, that lead to multiple damaged trees and some buildings damaged. |
