Monsoon moisture will continue to produce areas of heavy to excessive rainfall and potential flooding across the northern Intermountain West today. Debris flows will be possible over recent wildfire burn areas. Heavy to excessive rainfall and flash flooding will be possible across the central Rockies into the south-central Plains and lower Mississippi Valley through Thursday. Read More >
Overview
A powerful upper level storm system slowly moved across the plains, leading to several rounds of severe thunderstorms and very heavy rain across the Tri-State area (Figure 1 and 2). This systems slow movement allowed for multiple rounds of thunderstorms leading to numerous locations receiving several inches of rain, resulting in widespread flooding (Figure 3). Numerous severe thunderstorms occurred each day, with very large hail and damaging winds prevailing on May 10th and numerous tornadoes on May 11th (Figure 4 and 5).
