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
|
A powerful post-Christmas winter storm brought multiple hazards to the region. The storm started Wednesday with a quick round of snow for many locations before some switched over to rain or a rain/snow mix. By Thursday, most locations switched back over to snow with heavy snow observed across areas west of I-29 and into SW Minnesota. Strong northerly winds also greatly reduced visibility and resulted in blowing and drifting snow. Rainfall over NW Iowa also pushed some area rivers into minor flood stage. |
