..There is a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over
parts of the South Carolina Coast and the Upper Great Lakes,
Middle Mississippi Valley into the Central Plains on Wednesday...
..There is a Marginal Risk (level 1/4) of excessive rainfall over
parts of the Northeast, Great Lakes, and Middle Mississippi Valley
into the Central/Southern Plains and the Southwest on Thursday...
..Poor air quality for the Pacific Northwest and Great Basin...
A front dissipates over the Mid-Atlantic by Wednesday afternoon.
Moisture-rich air over the eastern third of the country will aid
in producing showers and thunderstorms from the Mid-Atlantic into
the Southeast and Florida through Friday morning. Weak onshore
flow over South Carolina will aid in producing an area of showers
and thunderstorms with heavy rain along the South Carolina Coast.
Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of
excessive rainfall with these thunderstorms over the South
Carolina 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 being the
most vulnerable.
A second front over the Upper Great Lakes, across the Middle
Mississippi Valley, and into parts of the Central/Southern Plains
and Central Rockies on Wednesday will move and become
quasi-stationary through Friday. The boundary will trigger
showers and thunderstorms from the Upper Great Lakes, Middle
Mississippi Valley, and Central Plains on Wednesday with an area
of heavy rain. Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level
2/4) of excessive rainfall from Southwestern Lake Michigan into
the Middle Mississippi Valley and Central Plains from Wednesday
morning into Thursday morning. The associated heavy rain will
create mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with urban areas,
roads, small streams, and low-lying areas being the most
vulnerable. The continued showers and thunderstorms along the
boundaries have prompted the WPC to issue a Marginal Risk (level
1/4) of excessive rainfall over the eastern third of the country
and from the Middle Mississippi Valley to the Southwest on
Thursday into Friday morning.
Moreover, monsoonal moisture will produce showers and
thunderstorms with moderate to heavy rain over parts of the
Southwest during the late afternoon into the late evening through
Friday. A third front moving southward out of Central Canada will
move into parts of the Upper Midwest and Northern Plains Thursday
into Friday. The boundary will trigger scattered showers and
thunderstorms over parts of the Upper Midwest Thursday into Friday.
In the Northwest, ongoing fires will lead to persistent smoke in
the region, from Washington/Oregon eastward and also over the
Great Basin with separate fires. Air quality alerts are in effect
for much of the region. Some members of the public may experience
health effects. Members of sensitive groups may experience more
serious health effects. This includes children, the elderly, and
persons with respiratory problems. Temperatures will trend warmer
over the next couple of days, leading to Moderate HeatRisk levels
(3 out of 5).
