There is a Slight Risk of excessive rainfall over parts of the Southern High Plains/Southern Rockies/Southwest and southern Mid-Atlantic as well as Eastern Gulf Coast, on Wednesday and Eastern Gulf Coast on Thursday...

On Wednesday, a front along the Northeast Coast to Central Appalachians and Tennessee/Lower Mississippi Valleys will have the northern portion of the boundary dissipate east of the Northeast Coast by Thursday. The southern part extending from the southern Mid-Atlantic/Southeast/Central Gulf will become quasi-stationary along the Gulf and Southeast Coast by Thursday evening and dissipate by Friday morning. Showers and thunderstorms will develop along the boundary from the southern Mid-Atlantic to the Southeast/Eastern Gulf Coast and will produce heavy rain over parts of the southern Mid-Atlantic and Eastern Gulf Coast. Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over parts of the southern Mid-Atlantic and a second area over the Eastern Gulf Coast through Thursday morning. The associated heavy rain will create mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, small streams, and low-lying areas the most vulnerable.

On Thursday, showers and thunderstorms with heavy rain will develop over parts of Florida. Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over parts of the Eastern Gulf Coast from Thursday through Friday morning. The associated heavy rain will create mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, small streams, and low-lying areas the most vulnerable. Further, showers and thunderstorms will develop over parts of the Central Gulf Coast on Wednesday and Thursday.

In addition, another front will move southward out of Eastern Canada by Wednesday afternoon into the Upper Mississippi Valley/Great Lakes and advance southeastward off the Northeast Coast by Friday. On Thursday, the system will produce showers and strong to severe thunderstorms over the Upper Mississippi Valley/Great Lakes on Wednesday and over the Northeast and Great Lakes/Middle Mississippi Valley.

Meanwhile, a front moving over the Pacific Northwest on Wednesday advances to the Northern High Plains/Northern Rockies and into the Great Basin by Friday. On Wednesday, the boundary will produce showers and strong to severe thunderstorms over parts of the Northern High Plains/Northern Rockies/Northern Intermountain Region. Furthermore, as the front moves into the Northern High Plains on Thursday, showers and strong to severe thunderstorms will also occur over the region.

Additionally, on Wednesday, an upper-level low along the Central/Southern California Coast will produce scattered showers and strong to severe thunderstorms over parts of the Great Basin. Furthermore, upper-level energy over the Southern Rockies with moisture streaming northwestward over the Southern High Plains/Southern Rockies and Southwest will produce showers and thunderstorms with heavy rain over the area. Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over parts of the Southern High Plains/Southern Rockies and Southwest through Thursday morning. The associated heavy rain will create mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, small streams, and low-lying areas the most vulnerable.

Showers and thunderstorms will continue on Thursday over the Central/Southern High Plains, Central/Southern Rockies, and Southwest.   back...
