Weather Summary
Tim Roche
Weather Underground midday recap for Tuesday, May 22, 2012.

Wet weather spread across the Northeast on Tuesday as a disorganized series of fronts stretched over the region. Moisture from the remains of Tropical Storm Alberto also flowed ashore, enhancing the intensity of the rain. Temperatures throughout the East were generally moderate despite the clouds, though relative humidity levels were fairly high.

Clouds broke up to the West of the Ohio Valley, where temperatures were warmer and humidity dropped off substantially. Temperatures were also warm in the Southeast and Plains.

Clear skies spread across the Rockies into the Southwest as well with the entire region under sunny skies with warm temperatures.

Clouds were back in the Picture in the Northwest where low pressure just off the coast brought rain to the to Washington and Oregon. Some of the rain along the coast and north of Portland was heavy, with several inches of precipitation reported just north of the city.

In the Atlantic. Tropical Storm Alberto had dissipated into a disorganized mass of clouds and thunderstorms by by Tuesday afternoon, though the storm was still churning up a significant portion of sea.
