Watch all for severe weather,tropical weather and the general weather for the lower 48.
Scattered severe thunderstorms, with hail, wind, and a few tornadoes, are expected from parts of the central Plains to the Missouri Valley. Other isolated severe storms may be noted across the mid Mississippi and Ohio Valleys. A few tornadoes and some wind damage are possible.
Cristobal expected to bring more heavy rains, flooding and flash
flooding and severe weather across the mid- and upper Mississippi Valley,
lower Ohio Valley and into the upper Great Lakes...
..Additional heavy rains, flash flooding and severe weather possible along
a strong front across portions of the central and northern Plains...
..Elevated to critical fire weather conditions from southern California,
across the Southwest and into the southern High Plains...
Tropical depression Cristobal has continued to move well inland across
Missouri this morning, bringing tropical downpours and gusty winds near
its track. The depression is expected to move steadily toward the north
and then north-northeast across the Midwest this afternoon. In the mean
time, a sharp cold front in conjunction with an anomalously deep and
energetic upper trough is pushing eastward across the Plains. A complex
interaction among Cristobal, the sharp front, and the deep upper trough
will result in a variety of active weather from the central to the
northern portions of the country through Wednesday morning. While strong
to severe thunderstorms are occurring across northern Plains behind the
sharp front, snow will continue for a while over central Colorado before a
low pressure system quickly forms over the central Plains, bringing a
quick burst of strong gusty winds, heavy showers and possibly
thunderstorms for the central High Plains later today and tonight.
Meanwhile, Cristobal is forecast to intensify and become post-tropical
later today as the energetic upper trough approaches from the west. Winds
are forecast to reach gale force over the waters of the Great Lakes as the
post-tropical cyclone passes in a close distance early on Wednesday.
Heavy downpours can also be expected near the track of Cristobal. The
Great Lakes will continue to see showery and windy conditions into
Wednesday as the complex system intensifies further and heads into eastern
Canada early on Thursday.
The southern portion of the strong front moving through the Plains is not
expected to have much precipitation associated with it. However, in its
wake, windy conditions are likely from the southern High Plains, westward
across the Southwest and into Southern California. The combination of
these high winds and low relative humidities will produce elevated to
critical fire weather conditions across these areas.
Temperature-wise, the widespread below average temperatures currently
across the Rockies and Great Basin will push eastward behind the above
mentioned strong cold front and into the central/northern Plains today and
into the Upper to Mid Mississippi Valley on Wednesday. Above normal
temperatures are expected across the southern Plains today followed by a
general cool down. Hot and humid tropical air brought by Cristobal will
overspread large portions of the eastern U.S. before a cooler air filters
in from west to east behind the sharp cold front.
