...Severe Thunderstorms and heavy to excessive rainfall possible acrossTexas on Wednesday, and into the Lower Mississippi Valley/Gulf Coast byThursday...
...Near record temperatures possible across parts of California and theDesert Southwest...
Ongoing heavy rainfall and strong to severe thunderstorms across centralTexas this morning will continue drifting slowly south and eastward today(Wednesday). The greatest chance for severe weather and heavy to excessiverainfall will be across central and eastern Texas where both WPC and SPChave highlighted this region within a slight risk for flash flooding andsevere thunderstorms, respectively. This system will shift into the LowerMississippi Valley by Thursday with again a threat for severe weather andheavy rainfall, mainly concentrated along the central Gulf Coast. Showersand thunderstorms, with locally heavy rainfall, will also extend northwardWednesday and Thursday into parts of the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys alonga slow moving frontal boundary to the north. Temperatures across much ofTexas on Wednesday will be relatively chilly with afternoon highs 10 to 20degrees below average (particularly across western and central Texas),with warmer air arriving by Thursday.
Elsewhere, a low pressure system lifting through New England will bringrain or a rain/snow mix to the region on Wednesday, while a cold frontdropping through the Northern Rockies will allow for showers andthunderstorms to spread across the Northern/Central Rockies on Wednesday,and into the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest by Thursday. Temperaturesacross much of the West and into the Northern and Central Plains will bevery warm through the short range as an upper level ridge expands acrossthe region. Daytime and nighttime temperatures averaging 10 to 20+ degreesabove normal would approach record values (mainly across parts ofCalifornia and the Desert Southwest).
