Weather Summary
Weather Underground Forecast for Thursday, May 23, 2013. A strong, large storm will continue making its way through the eastern third of the country on Thursday, producing more, active weather east of the Mississippi Valley. While the active weather is not likely to produce the severe thunderstorms that have greeted the country over the past several days, scattered thunderstorms will be likely, especially in the Southeast. In addition, moderate to occasionally heavy rain will move through the Northeast, followed by cool showers in the Ohio Valley and Upper Midwest.

Meanwhile, some moisture pushing into the Southern Plains could possibly instigate some severe thunderstorms in northern Texas and western Oklahoma. Due to this possibility, the Storm Prediction Center has issued a slight risk of severe weather in the area for Thursday. This means residents in the area should prepare as if severe weather will develop, making any necessary preparations to protect life and property.

Also, a seasonably strong low pressure system will linger over the Pacific Northwest today, allowing wet weather to continue in the area. While rain will be the overwhelming precipitation due to this storm, a few snow showers will be possible in the higher elevations of the Cascades.

Additionally, rain will also spread as far east as central Montana.

The Northeast will rise into the 70s and 80s, while the Southeast will see temperatures in the 80s and 90s. The Southern Plains will rise into the 80s and 90s, while the Southwest will see similar temperatures.

... National safe boating week Monday 5/20 through Friday 5/24...

Thunderstorms can be a dangerous and fast developing hazard for the
mariner. They can be accompanied by lightning strikes... strong and
often times shifting winds... rapidly building seas... as well as
produce torrential rains reducing visibility to near zero. Some
storms can also be accompanied by waterspouts.

Boaters should always use extra caution when thunderstorm conditions
exist and have a plan of escape.

Mariners are especially vulnerable as they may be unable to reach port
quickly. If possible you may have to ride out the thunderstorm.

Here are some safety tips to use if thunderstorms occur...

Reduce your vessels speed.

Make sure all are wearing their life jacket.

Turn on all running lights.

Head for the nearest shore if possible. If caught stay below deck
if you can... and away from all metal objects.

Keep bilges free of water.

If the engine fails... trail a sea anchor on a line from the Bow to keep
the boat headed into the waves.

Ultimately... boating safety begins ashore with planning and training.

Keep in mind that most thunderstorms are usually brief... lasting no more
than 30 to 60 minutes in most cases. So waiting out the storm in port is
better than getting caught offshore.
