<p>We are gearing up for yet another day of severe weather and unfortunately, in <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.weathernationtv.com/news/severe-weather-mauls-the-midwest-tuesday#google_vignette"><strong><em><u>similar areas that were hit on Tuesday</u></em></strong></a>.

Our primary threat will be damaging winds with embedded tornadoes. The complex of storms moves into northern Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia by sunrise on Thursday. Storm activity in the southern end of the severe weather threat fires up just before sundown and continues overnight. Individual cells in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas will congele into a line in southern Arkansas before fading away overnight.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/05/2024-05-08 13-56-11-1715198202635.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>The ENHANCED risk stretches from Cinncinatti through northeast Texas including St. Louis, Little Rock, Lexington, Memphis and Fort Smith. From the Midwest and toward the Central Gulf states, there is an elevated threat of tornadoes, hail, and damaging winds. The "significant" severe threat includes St. Louis, Nashville, Louisville, and Paducah for EF-2 or stronger tornadoes. The areas in blue are at risk for damaging winds and hail 2" or larger.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/05/sig severe-1715188636542.jpg">The weather balloon launch in Nashville showed about twice as much moisture throughout the atmosphere vs normal (about 1.5" of precipitable water). With a few rounds of storms possible over some of the same locations, the Weather Prediction Center [WPC] upgraded parts of Kentucky and Tennessee to a <strong>MODERATE</strong> RISK of excessive rainfall. Upwards of 4" of rain in 24 hours will create flooding issues in Kentucky, southern Illinois and northern Tennessee.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/05/tn rain-1715182093712.jpg"></p>

Significant Storm Threat: St. Louis, Nashville, Little Rock Today

<p>The severe weather threat seems never-ending in the Deep South and we have more storms on the horizon Thursday into Friday.

Hurricane-Force Wind Possible for Georgia, Alabama

<p>The snow has been falling in the Northwest with nearly two feet of snow already fallen in Wyoming and over a foot for much of Montana! </p><div class="fb-post" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/WeatherNation/videos/1261262411517962" data-width="500" src="https://www.facebook.com/WeatherNation/videos/1261262411517962" style="display: flex; justify-content: center"></div><p>The snow is starting to slide back to the south and west as our area of low pressure responsible for the wet weather moves into the Rockies and Four Corners. The low breaks off from the normal flow and shifts southwest, away from the typical jet stream flow. This low will then sit and spin over the 4 Corners region through the weekend, bringing more gusty wind but a bit more moisture to the atmosphere too. Even if you don't see showers we anticipate a bit more cloud cover through the end of the week and the start of the weekend, which should help to quell the worst of our fire danger.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/05/2024-05-08 08-51-01-1715179957991.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>Colder air at the highest elevations will produce snowfall in the Rockies of Colorado and the ranges of Wyoming. As low-pressure regresses (moves back to the west), the snowfall spreads south into northern New Mexico, the ranges of Utah, and even northern Arizona. Showers and snow showers are possible through the weekend, especially in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado. This is thanks to a "backdoor cold front" meaning it arrives from the east, rather than the typical west. It will also stir up strong winds along the Front Range of Colorado and New Mexico Thursday night into Friday. Pop-up storms will be the focus for the Eastern Plains of Colorado, New Mexico, and west Texas through Monday morning before our low-pressure system gets a kick to the east.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/05/2024-05-08 14-28-05-1715200812485.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>Rough estimates show the heaviest of the snowfall in the Rockies of Colorado and the Sangre de Cristo range into northern New Mexico.

<p>A slow-moving cold front will hit moist, unstable air over the Gulf Coast states prompting an ENHANCED risk over central Texas for the entire I-35 corridor on Thursday. Individual supercells develop with strong updrafts that can rotate and produce tornadoes. This is the most populated area in Texas under a large hail and tornado risk - try to park your car under cover and have multiple ways to get alerts.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/05/sc enhanced-1715190402884.jpg">In the afternoon and evening, a cold front will aid new storm cells along the I-35 corridor of Texas through southern Oklahoma. These storms form into a cluster, moving into central Louisiana and Mississippi with damaging winds and embedded tornadoes. While storms are individual they will contain a damaging hail threat, but once they group the threat shifts to hurricane-force winds between I-10 and I-20. </p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/05/2024-05-08 14-00-05-1715198430374.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>The lethargic frontal boundary will set up further south on Thursday, focusing more showers and thunderstorms from Texas to Georgia.

Severe Weather Mauls the Midwest Tuesday

MichiganradarTuesdaypng-1715171459648.png

<p>It feels like summer with temperatures rising across the Gulf Coast this week thanks to a strong ridge of high pressure that is parked across the region. Temperatures will be warm enough to tie or break records through Friday, with Wednesday being our warmest day. Widespread 90's are expected with records as old as the 1980s at risk of falling.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/05/Potential records Wednesday-1715170367786.png">The warmth impacts Texas and the central Gulf into Wednesday with highs warmest south of I-10, but even Little Rock climbs close to 90°. The humidity will make it feel even warmer for Houston, San Antonio, and Corpus Christi. It's so hot that the NWS office in Brownsville and Corpus Christi have issued Heat Advisories for Wednesday! Temperatures will cool by Thursday for north and central Texas as a cold front slides through. That will cut temperatures down to the 70's, where they typically are this time of year.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/05/south central temps-1715115527668.jpg">Our peak heat in the eastern Gulf will be Thursday but highs will be threatened on Wednesday and Friday too. On Friday nearly every major city on the Atlantic coastline has the potential to tie or break records. We're looking at widespread highs in the 80s and 90s, about 10° above average!</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/05/se-1715115527665.jpg"></p>

Record Highs in Jeopardy Along the Gulf Coast

<p>The Southwest has been dry and windy the last few days with gusts with Aspen and Loveland Pass clocking wind gusts over 65 mph on Tuesday. Tropical storm and hurricane-force winds were seen in New Mexico on Monday - Raton Pass clocked a wind gust of 59 mph with Tecolotito about 120 miles east of Albuquerque. The strong winds in combination with dry conditions mean the fire threat continues across the Southwest into Wednesday and Thursday - please do not do any outdoor burning.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/05/fire alerts-1715180021085.jpg">Changes are on the way as an area of low pressure in our upper atmosphere breaks off from the normal flow and shifts southwest, away from the typical jet stream flow.

Four Corners: Windy with a Chance of Showers

setupjpg-1715179889778.jpeg

A strong ridge of high pressure will continue to impact the forecast for the Western U.S. over the next few days.  Expansive heat has made it's way into the Northwest and that will lead to some very dangerous outdoor weather conditions.
<h2>Severe Heat</h2>
<img class="alignnone wp-image-94639 size-full" src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2018/07/Bomb-3.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

Excessive heat watches/warnings and heat advisories are in effect for a large portion of Washington, Oregon and Idaho.  This means the risk of heat related illnesses (heat stroke, heat exhaustion) will be very high in these areas.  Expect afternoon highs in the upper 90s and lower 100s during the afternoon.
<h2>Temperature Forecast</h2>

Take a look at this heat!  We are looking highs well into the 90s and the lower 100s for both Monday and Tuesday.

You will definitely need to do your best to stay safe.
