MM’s Weather Worries

MM’s Wx Analysis

Here at home, weak high pressure struggles for control while heat, humidity, frontal boundaries, and the topography of the plateau outweigh the drying effects the high pressure tries to have. A very unsettled pattern can be seen across the eastern U.S., with scattered shrs and storms, mainly in the afternoon, impact a huge piece of real estate.

Widespread life-threatening flash and urban flooding continues in south-central Texas, with considerable flooding impacts possible across central Texas. Wildfire smoke is impacting air quality across much of the Great Lakes region into southern New England and the Mid-Atlantic. Monsoonal thunderstorms may produce isolated to scattered flash flooding across the Southwest into the Great Basin.

Drought Conditions

This graphic is released to the public every Thursday.

Overall, much of the state improved with this update! Last week, 82% of our state was in drought. This week, only 55% of our state is in drought. That’s aa incredible improvement! Here on the plateau, results are mixed. Portions of our northern areas have been removed from drought, while other, including nearly all of Cumberland County, remain in severe drought.
