US Weather Update: Severe Weather Seen From Texas To California

Meteorologists said that severe weather conditions could be experienced from Texas to California.

They said that the severe weather threat, which started over the weekend, would continue across the states in the southern portion of the United States towards Monday evening.

Enhanced Risk Of Thunderstorms

The rounds of storms will pulse eastward along a stalled frontal boundary, and this weather condition will set the stage for severe weather from Texas to the Carolinas.

Meanwhile, the first round of severe weather already erupted from Saturday afternoon to Saturday night, and this had brought hail and heavy rainfall to central Texas.

Weather experts noted that hail up to the size of golf balls had occurred.

The National Weather Service said that there was an enhanced risk of severe thunderstorms over parts of the Western Gulf Coast and the Lower Mississippi Valley on Sunday.

Meteorologists said that there was a slight risk of severe thunderstorms over parts of the Central Gulf Coast and the Southeast on Monday.

They said that the low pressure, which is an associated front along the Gulf Coast, is seen to move northeastward to the Mid-Atlantic Coast by Tuesday and then it will move out over the Western Atlantic.

The low will also pull moisture off the Gulf of Mexico, producing an area of heavy rain over parts of the Southern Appalachians and the Southeast.

Due to this weather condition, the Weather Prediction Center has issued a slight risk of excessive rainfall over parts of the Southern Appalachians and the Southeast through Monday morning.

Weather experts said that the associated heavy rain would create mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, and small streams the most vulnerable.

In addition, showers and severe thunderstorms are also seen to develop over parts of the Central Gulf Coast.

Therefore, weather officials have already issued an enhanced risk of severe thunderstorms over the Western Gulf Coast and the Lower Mississippi Valley through Monday morning.

The hazards associated with these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes.

Furthermore, there is an increased threat of hail that is two inches or greater over parts of the Western Gulf Coast and the Lower Mississippi Valley into Monday morning.

Moreover, a narrow strip of heavy snow will develop over parts of the Southern Plains and the Middle Mississippi Valley Sunday night into Monday morning.

On Monday, the threat of excessive rainfall will continue as heavy rain develops over parts of the Southern Appalachians and the southern Mid-Atlantic.

To ensure safety of residents, the Weather Prediction Center has issued a slight risk of excessive rainfall over parts of the Southern Appalachians and the southern Mid-Atlantic from Monday into Tuesday morning.

The associated heavy rain will also create mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, and small streams being the most vulnerable.

Low Pressure To Produce Snow

On the other hand, another wave of low pressure moving along a front over the Upper Midwest will produce snow over parts of the Upper Mississippi Valley and Upper Great Lakes from Sunday into Monday.

However, the light snow will continue over the Upper Great Lakes on Tuesday.

Furthermore, upper-level energy moving across the Pacific Northwest to the Northern Plains will rain and higher elevation snow over parts of the Pacific Northwest through Monday evening.

As the energy moves eastward, snow is seen to develop over parts of the Northern Intermountain Region and the Northern Rockies that will continue into Tuesday evening.

On Tuesday, the snow will also develop over parts of the Northern Plains.
