A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY CONSOLIDATING OVER SOUTHERN
TEXAS AS A DYNAMIC UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH IS GETTING READY TO MOVE OFF
NORTHERN MEXICO AND THEN VIGOROUSLY INTERACT WITH MOISTURE
RETURNING FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO. THE CLUSTERS OF STRONG TO
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THAT HAVE ALREADY FORMED AND IMPACTED THE
WESTERN GULF STATES ARE JUST A PRECURSOR OF WHAT THE SYSTEM MAY
PRODUCE LATER TODAY WHEN IT IS FORECAST TO INTENSIFY RAPIDLY WITH
THUNDERSTORMS ERUPTING OVER THE ARKLATEX REGION. THESE
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTAIN VERY HEAVY RAIN, HAIL, HIGH
WINDS, AND THE POSSIBILITY OF TORNADOES ACROSS THE INTERIOR SOUTH
THROUGH TONIGHT AS A POTENT COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO SWEEP ACROSS
FROM WEST TO EAST. THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ITSELF IS FORECAST TO
INTENSIFY, EXPAND AND TRACK TOWARD THE NORTHEAST FOR THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS, WITH MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL ENGULFING MUCH OF
THE EASTERN U.S. BY THURSDAY. THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL IS EXPECTED
TO IMPACT THE CENTRAL TO EASTERN GULF COAST REGION TODAY THROUGH
THURSDAY MORNING, WITH ANOTHER HEAVY RAIN AXIS FROM THE ARKLATEX
REGION TO THE MIDWEST FOLLOWING THE CENTER OF THE INTENSIFYING LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM. THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO INTENSIFY
AND EXPAND FURTHER THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING, BRINGING
HIGH WINDS INTO MUCH OF THE EASTERN U.S. AS WELL AS THE GREAT
LAKES, MIDWEST AND THE OHIO VALLEY. THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD EXIT THE
SOUTHEAST BY FRIDAY MORNING AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES OFF THE COAST.
HOWEVER, THE MID-ATLANTIC AND VIRTUALLY THE ENTIRE NORTHEAST WILL
LIKELY BE ENGULFED BY MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN ALONG WITH HIGH WINDS
ESPECIALLY JUST AHEAD OF THE POTENT COLD FRONT TRAILING SOUTH FROM
THE CENTER OF THE INTENSE AND EXPANDING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM.
OUTSIDE OF THE INTENSIFYING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM, RELATIVELY QUIET
WEATHER IS EXPECTED FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WITH A STABLE
UPPER RIDGING BUILDING INTO THE WESTERN U.S. SCATTERED RAIN AND
SNOW SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO FALL ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES AND
NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS TODAY BEFORE REACHING INTO THE NORTHERN
PLAINS AS A CLIPPER SYSTEM SWINGS ACROSS THESE AREAS. LIGHT
PRECIPITATION IS FORECAST TO REACH THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST THURSDAY
NIGHT WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE NEXT PACIFIC SYSTEM. OTHERWISE,
IMPROVEMENT IN THE FIRE WEATHER THREAT IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS WHERE ELEVATED FIRE DANGER IS CONFINED TO THE
TEXAS BIG BEND TODAY, FOLLOWED BY PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS
ON THURSDAY.
