Spring Severe Thunderstorms, Excessive Rainfall, and Heavy Snow Today

Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected this afternoon and evening from eastern Texas into the lower Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys/southern Appalachians. Heavy to excessive rainfall may produce flash flooding from the lower Mississippi River Valley into the southern Appalachians today. A late-season snowstorm will continue heavy snow over parts of the central Rockies through today. Read More >

Yet another cold front will move through eastern Utah and western Colorado today, resulting in scattered showers and a few thunderstorms throughout the day, especially up north. The isolated showers will continue overnight as snow levels drop to around 10,000 feet with a couple of inches of snow possible along the Continental Divide. A powerful upper level trough will dig into the Great Basin this weekend which will produce widespread precipitation across the area. Snow levels will remain between 10- and 11,000 feet in response to south-southwest flow. However, ample moisture will keep plenty of showers in the forecast through Sunday. This storm may also result in the first significant snowfall for the high country. Temperatures will continue to run below normal.
