Weather Summary

Weather Underground Forecast for Wednesday, May 23, 2012.

The Nation will continue to see relatively stagnant weather on Wednesday as afternoon thunderstorms develop in the East and the Northwest continues to see cool, wet weather.

The Northeast will see another day of afternoon showers and thunderstorms as the disorganized frontal boundaries that have been lingering around for the last few days continue their snails pace drift eastward. Thunderstorms are anticipated from the Carolinas through coastal Maine, with the bulk of precipitation expected in the southern Appalachians.

Further south, wet weather should end on Wednesday, with clear skies building into the Gulf Coast states.

Clear skies are also anticipated throughout the Plains, but the Northern Plains will see cloud cover move in as some rain approaches from the West. The precipitation will be most pronounced over the Dakotas in the morning, then into Minnesota by afternoon.

Further west Precipitation will increase a bit in coverage as moisture streams into the Northwest. Most of Washington, Oregon and Idaho will see Precipitation on Wednesday.

The nation’s biggest weather shift will come to Florida, where heavy rain will move into southern portions of the state as moisture associated with the remains of Tropical Storm Alberto rain themselves out across the western Atlantic.

Special Statement
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 7:22 PM MDT on May 22, 2012

... Smoke from a wildfire will spread over southern New Mexico and
portions of far West Texas tonight...

A large wildfire near Glenwood New Mexico is producing a
considerable amount of smoke as the fire expands. Winds tonight
will cause the smoke to drift and spread south and east across
southern New Mexico and far West Texas. Hazy conditions and poor
air quality may be a concern... especially later tonight as the
smoke begins to settle closer to the ground. Persons with
breathing difficulties should take extra precautions and should
avoid outdoor exposure. Travelers through the region should also
take extra precautions. The wind pattern will shift more from the
southwest tomorrow blowing the smoke away from the local area.
