Weather Summary

Weather Underground Forecast for Wednesday, May 16, 2012.

Unsettled weather is expected to continue across the Eastern U.S. Wednesday. A weak trough of low pressure will remain in place, as a cold front over the Midwest moves east and south. The northern portion of this cold front is forecast to move offshore Thursday morning, while the southern portion becomes near stationary across the Southeast and lower Mississippi Valley. As a result, widely scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected across the Tennessee and Ohio Valley as well as the Eastern U.S. Wednesday and continue into Thursday morning. In particular, there is a slight risk of severe thunderstorms across parts of the Northeast. Some hail will be possible, but greater severe risk appears to be locally damaging winds. In addition, a few storms may produce locally gusty winds or small hail over the Southeast Coast in the afternoon.

Elsewhere, scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue over southeast Texas and Gulf Coast. Moreover, a few isolated rain showers and thunderstorms may pop up over the Intermountain West.

Temperature wise, another hot and dry day is in store for the Desert Southwest. Afternoon temperatures will reach 90s and low 100s. Over the Northern High Plains, temperatures are forecast to soar 15 to 20 degrees above average. Widespread upper 80s and low 90s are expected for the highs.

The following is a list of some thunderstorm safety rules that
can be passed along to residents of... and visitors to... southern
Colorado.

If you plan to be outdoors... check the latest weather
information. If thunderstorms are in the forecast... you may want
to curtail outdoor activities.

If you are outdoors and hear thunder... you should immediately get
indoors into a substantial building... or get into any hard topped
vehicle. Lightning can strike several miles away from the storm...
where it is not raining and where you may be.

In Colorado... lightning can occur with thunderstorms that produce
little... if any... rain. Do not wait too long to take action.
Deadly lightning can occur with all thunderstorms. Wait
30 minutes until the last rumble of thunder before resuming
outdoor activities.

If you are caught outdoors during a lightning storm... and there
is no safe shelter nearby... there is not much you can do to
reduce your risk of being struck by lightning. The best thing to
do is find a low spot and stay away from trees. If you are in
the mountains and are above timberline... go to a lower area. If
you are below timberline... try to find an open area away from
trees. If you are in an area of dense trees... do your best to
stay away from the tallest trees.

If you are in a group... stay apart. If someone is struck...
others will be able to help the victim.

Remember... when thunder roars... go indoors.
