Another Round of Heavy Rain and Mountain Snow in California; Snow in the Great Lakes and Northeast

Another round of heavy rainfall will renew concerns for additional flash flooding and landslides in southern California around burn scars and coastal mountain ranges. A low pressure system is bringing enhanced snowfall downwind from the lower Great Lakes into the Northeast mountain ranges. Above average temperatures will challenge or break daily record high temperatures across the southern Plains. Read More >

A cold front brought a line of heavy rainfall across the TN Valley during the early morning hours on October 23, 2017. The low level jet intensified as the line of showers moved through the area, producing a high amount of low level wind shear. This caused an isolated tornado to down near the Trinity community in Morgan County, AL around 2:28 am. Interesting to note, there was no lightning observed within the line of showers.
