Excessive Rainfall and Potential Tropical Cyclone in the South; Severe Thunderstorms in the Midwest

Excessive rainfall may produce locally considerable flash flooding over parts of the northwestern Gulf Coast, lower Mississippi River Valley, and Deep South through Thursday. Potential Tropical Cyclone One is forecast to become a tropical storm (Arthur) as it moves along or just off the northwestern Gulf coast through Wednesday. An outbreak of severe weather is forecast in the Midwest Wednesday. Read More >

Coverage is affected by many factors.

Coverage Map Notes

The coverage statistics and maps are calculated using a computer model and station data, assuming ideal conditions. Actual coverage may be 5 to 10 percent below the computer-predicted coverage due to the following factors:

  • The computer model is sensitive to antenna performance. Antenna performance depends on local conditions, which can cause signals to have stronger levels in some directions than others.
  • The placement of NWR antennas is dictated by the tower owner, which may result in a less-than-ideal setup.
  • Nearby structures or bodies of water may interfere with antenna performance.
  • In some cases, antennas may be intentionally adjusted to be "directional" to improve coverage in a specific area at the expense of others.
  • Variations in local site conditions can affect the performance of an individual transmitter and antenna, resulting in less-than-predicted or expected coverage.
  • Seasonal environmental conditions, such as icing or heavy rain, can impact the performance of a transmitter station and its components, particularly those exposed to continuous weather.
  • The coverage maps are displayed in a single-color format, which corresponds to an estimated signal level.
    A signal level greater than 18 dBuV indicates reliable coverage.
