Weather Summary
Weather Underground Forecast for Wednesday, June 19, 2013.

Wet and active weather will spread across the Northwest with threats of severe weather development on Wednesday. An upper low along the Pacific Northwest Coast will begin to shift inland on Wednesday, ushering ample moisture and energy inland across the Pacific Northwest, Northern Intermountain West and Northern Rockies. Expect scattered showers and thunderstorm activity to spread across these regions through the day, with areas of severe weather becoming possible in central and eastern Montana into northwestern North Dakota. The Storm Prediction Center has issued a slight risk of severe thunderstorm development for this area on Wednesday with primary threats of large hail and damaging wind gusts. In addition to severe storms, these areas will also see increased chance of flooding due to the slow moving nature of this system.

Elsewhere in the West, fire danger will run high across the Four Corners as gusty winds sweep across the region and a warm and dry airmass remains overhead. Red Flag Warnings are expected for this region as this weather setup will increase chances of wildfire development.

In the Plains, generally isolated showers and thunderstorms in the Southern High Plains will advance northeastward across the Central Plains, spanning into the Northern Plains and the Mid-Mississippi Valley by the evening.

In the East, showers will gradually taper off in the Northeast and upper Mid-Atlantic as cold fronts impacting the regions move offshore and high pressure moves overhead. The southern portion of a cold front extending across the Southeast will become nearly stationary as it nears the Gulf Coast. Expect showers and thunderstorm to continue in the southeastern corner of the nation and along the Gulf Coast.

Public Information Statement
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 11:09 am EDT on June 19, 2013

... Public information statement for seasonal landslide awareness
and preparedness...

The appalachian mountain region is one the most susceptible regions
in the United States for significant landslide activity according to
the United States geologic survey (usgs). Research has shown that
extreme rainfall of 5 to 10 inches or more within 24 hours...
especially when combined with already saturated soil conditions... can
result in deadly landslide activity in our mountainous terrain. This
is most likely when the remnants of tropical storms or hurricanes
interact with the Appalachian Mountains... usually during the mid-
Summer through mid-autumn period. Examples of catastrophic events
where many lives were lost and structures were destroyed include
August 1940 in northwest North Carolina... and remnants of hurricane
Camille in August 1969 in west- central Virginia. However landslides
can also occur on smaller scales from intense rainfall associated
with slow-moving thunderstorm complexes... or during heavy rainfall on
top of snow cover or saturated ground in the winter.

Landslides... which can include fast-moving debris flows consisting
of water... mud... Falling Rocks... trees... and other large debris...
are most likely on steep slopes and within small valleys that drain
steep slopes. Landslides are powerful... and are capable of washing
out roads... bridges... and homes. People living in areas prone to
landslides should be aware of the danger and be prepared to act.

Below are some recommended actions to consider taking both ahead of
the storm and when it begins.

Before the storm:

* become familiar with the land around you. Learn whether
     landslides have occurred in your area. Slopes where landslides
     have occurred in the past are likely to experience them in the
     future.

* Check with local authorities to learn about emergency response
     and evacuation plans for your area... and develop your own
     emergency plans for your family and business.

* Watch the hillsides around your home for signs of land
     movement... such as cracks in soil and building foundations... or
     progressively tilting trees.

* If you know you live in a location prone to landslides...
     consider heading to a safer location before the heavy rain
     begins. This generally means moving to higher ground... away from
     streams... rivers... and also steep slopes. Seek a sturdy shelter
     if possible such as a well-built home... church... or school.

* When a period of very heavy rainfall with an enhanced threat for
     landslides is anticipated 12 to 48 hours in advance... the
     National Weather Service will include specific call-to-action
     statements within flash flood watches (wbcffarnk).

During the storm:

* avoid driving near steep slopes or crossing stream valleys.
     Never try to drive across a flooded Road.

* Immediately move away from steep slopes and small streams in
     steep valleys. Seek Refuge on higher ground away from
     streams... preferably in a sturdy shelter.

* Stay alert. Many landslide fatalities occur when people are
     sleeping. Keep tuned to NOAA Weather Radio or local media for
     the latest warnings and statements. Be aware that short intense
     bursts of rainfall are particularly dangerous.

* Listen for unusual sounds that might indicate moving debris...
     such as trees cracking or boulders knocking together. A trickle
     of flowing mud or debris may precede a much larger and dangerous
     flow. Head to higher ground immediately. Save yourself... not
     your belongings.

* When there is believed to be an imminent threat for flash
     flooding with an enhanced risk for widespread landslide
     activity... the National Weather Service will include specific
     call-to-action statements within flash flood warnings
     (wbcffwrnk).
