Unusual Severe activities

Unusual Severe activities
As we enter the fall season, the Southwest of United States is getting showers and thunderstorms accompany an upper level low. Some of the thunderstorms could become severe producing hail, damaging wind gusts and isolated tornadoes in eastern New Mexico. The heavy downpours from these storms could possibly produce flooding in States such as; Arizona, New Mexico, Southern Colorado, South Utah, and possibly Nevada. According to the lead meteorologist, Kevin Roth from the weather channel all of this could happen as soon as October 21.
We could see the storm moving into the southern plains by Friday and leaving a light rain and some mountain snow showers in Colorado, Utah and eastern part of Nevada. Palin States like Texas should see some severe weather to go across it.
Oregon and Southern California are also victims of this new storm. These to states will be getting some showers later today and these showers should spread northward along the coast to Washington and Inland to the Cascade and northern Sierra- Nevada by tonight.
The temperatures on the Southwestern part of United States is expected to be around mid 60s and 70s for the entire regain with the exception of western part of Arizona and eastern California is believed to be in the low 80s .
Tonight the storms are expected to shift the eastward reaching central Oklahoma and central Texas by Friday morning. The storms should not be severe after midnight. Temperatures might be in the lower to middle 70s in eastern Tennessee, western North Carolina, far northern Georgia and western Texas.
Most of the Northeast part of the country is expected a cold front and drops through the region bringing a lot of showers. And colder air will be moving behind the cold front and changing the rain over to snow in the mountains of Northern New York and northern New England. The remainder of the region should be dry ad with some clouds. The temperatures are expected to be in the Mid 40s and lower 50s.
The Midwest part of the country has some colder air blowing in from Canada and this air will pick up some moisture as it comes across the Great lakes and deposits it in the form of showers in Michigan Ohio. There is no snow for those states. The Isolated thunderstorms might move into southwestern Kansas very late by this afternoon as a storm system moves through the southern Rocky Mountains. During the evening and overnight tonight the thunderstorms should expand into all of southern Kansas with showers moving into northern Kansas.
The remainder of the region is enjoying a sunny to partly cloudy and mild day. The temperatures for this part of the country will/expected to be in low and mid 60s and 70s. As always these are only predictions the weather could change on us at any given minute; but, it’s always a good/smart idea to prepare for the worse. We should be able to see these changes in our weather anywhere from 24 to 48 hours.
