Weather Underground Forecast for Wednesday, May 22, 2013.

After an active severe weather pattern during the beginning of the week, cooler and relatively calmer weather conditions will return to much of the Central U.S. on Wednesday as the trough of low pressure impacting the region moves to the East. As the trough progresses, an associated low pressure system will reorganize near southern Lake Michigan and will continue northeastward across Michigan toward the Lower Great Lakes through Wednesday evening. Expect rain showers to continue across the Upper Midwest into areas of the inland Northeast throughout this transition. Meanwhile, the system's associated cold front will trail southwestward from the low across the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys through the Lower Mississippi Valley and into the Southern Plains. Favorable energy and environmental conditions ahead of the cold front combined with ample moisture from the Gulf of Mexico will set the stage for shower and thunderstorm activity through the day. Areas just east of the advancing cold front will experience the heaviest amounts of precipitation, with areas of flooding and flash flooding possible in parts of eastern Texas and Louisiana. As the cold front continues eastward, areas of the Lower Great Lakes into the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys are at slight risk of severe thunderstorm development through the evening. Severe storms in these regions may become capable of producing damaging wind gusts, marginally severe hail, and even a few tornadoes during the evening hours.

Elsewhere, scattered showers and thunderstorms will remain possible along the East Coast and in the Florida Peninsula. Out West, a cold trough of low pressure will become anchored over the Pacific Northwest, bringing cool, below normal temperatures to the Pacific Northwest and California, as well as scattered precipitation to the Northwest.

Public Information Statement
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 6:30 am PDT on May 22, 2013

The following is a safe boating message from the National safe
boating Council and the National Weather Service, reminding you that
National safe boating week is may eighteenth through may
twenty-fourth. After a long winter, thoughts naturally turn toward
warm weather recreational activities. Unseasonably warm afternoons
of the Spring and fall frequently attract boaters and other
recreational enthusiasts to our beautiful lakes, rivers, streams and
coastal waters. Those venturing out need to be aware of the dangers
posed by low water temperatures. On warm days, it is easy to
Overlook the fact that water temperature may be much lower than the
air temperature. Immersion in cold water can rapidly become life
threatening. Should your craft capsize, or you fall in a swift
river, hypothermia in water with temperatures in the upper thirties
and forties can occur in just a matter of minutes. In fact, the
human body cannot survive in water temperatures in the fifties and
sixties for very long as water conducts body heat away 26 times
faster than air of the same temperature. The cold water rapidly
causes extremities to become numb, weakening the ability of muscles
to work effectively. The National Weather Service urges the
following safety measures to protect yourself and maximize your
enjoyment of our nation's waterways. Consider postponing small craft
boating activities until water temperatures become warmer in late
Spring and Summer. Keep in mind that even unseasonably warm air
temperatures on mild Spring and fall afternoons can drop rapidly
later in the day. When you do boat, canoe, or kayak, wear
appropriate protective gear and clothing in the event of exposure,
accident or capsize. Remember, no matter the season, when you are on
the water, always wear a life jacket. Always file a float plan,
letting a close family member or friend know your plans, your boats
communication capability, and the physical details of your craft,
all of which will assist Rescue personnel in the event you get into
trouble. Safe boating is no accident! Please take the time to think
safety first and plan appropriately for weather and water conditions
before heading out on our oceans, lakes, rivers, and streams. To
