1. A cluster of showers and thunderstorms will cover the Florida peninsula and the Southeast coast as breezes from the east and southeast direct copious Atlantic moisture into the region. 2. Copious moisture associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm Frank will aid in the development of showers over the deserts and plateaus of the Southwest and Rocky Mountains. 3. Copious moisture will be drawn north from the western Gulf of Mexico as low pressure begins to strengthen over Texas. 4. Large lake-air contrasts maximize evaporation from lake waters, sometimes providing copious moisture for record snows. 5. Low pressure will deliver copious moisture to northern and central California, causing another round of heavy rain. 6. More concentrated thunderstorms will form northeast of Florida, where an upper-level disturbance interacts with copious moisture. 7. Several sluggish low-pressure systems drawing copious moisture inland from the Gulf of Mexico has contributed to the damp conditions. 8. Strong winds from the south will transport copious moisture north from the Gulf of Mexico into the Great Plains Saturday. 9. Unseasonably cold air will move slowly south through the northeastern states Thursday as low pressure draws copious moisture into the region. 10. Winds from the southeast will draw copious moisture from the Atlantic toward the central and southern Appalachians resulting in potent thunderstorms over the interior Carolinas and Virginia. |
