These storm systems will bring late season snow, sleet and ice for portions of the northern Plains, upper Midwest and Great Lakes region. Meanwhile, where temperatures are warmer, severe thunderstorms are expected for areas of the Mississippi Valley into the southern Plains.

Showers and Thunderstorms May Contain Heavy Rainfall Rates

Subtropical moisture over the Eastern Great Basin and Rockies will lead to rainfall rates in excess of 1 inch per hour for some thunderstorms this afternoon and evening.  As a result, Flash Flood Watches remain in effect for some of the larger fire burn scars. Thunderstorm activity will become more scattered on Thursday with the focus mainly along the Continental Divide.

Temperatures will remain below seasonal normals in response to the added clouds and showers. Additionally, the smoke from wildfires across the western U.S. will diminish over the area.
