Another Round of Heavy Rain and Mountain Snow in California; Snow in the Great Lakes and Northeast

Another round of heavy rainfall will renew concerns for additional flash flooding and landslides in southern California around burn scars and coastal mountain ranges.

Overview ***Preliminary***

During the late afternoon and evening of June 11, 2018, thunderstorms developed near the surface low pressure system over Dodge county and ahead of a cold front that moved through in eastern Nebraska and a warm front that trailed southeast into western Iowa. In-between these fronts, there appeared to be a pre-frontal boundary that was northeast of Lincoln and west of Plattsmouth. Six confirmed tornadoes, large hail to baseball size and damaging winds accompanied the storms.
