Heavy rainfall from scattered thunderstorms is expected across the Southwest, Intermountain West, and Plains. Isolated dry thunderstorms may initiate additional fires across the west. The coastal Carolinas may experience flash floods in the coming days due to repeated thunderstorms. Additionally, a wave of intense summer heat will hit the Southern Plains and central Gulf Coast States this week. Read More >
Overview
An upper trough near the Four Corners region and the central and southern Rockies tracked south and east across the forecast area. A couple of short wave troughs moved southeast across the Panhandles Thursday night through Friday. These short wave troughs combine with the moisture and cold air to bring periods of snow across the region from late Thursday afternoon through Friday afternoon. Bands of light snow tracked east out of New Mexico and across the Panhandles. The snow diminished Friday morning as drier air worked down from the north by the afternoon.
