Here is a look the precipitation forecast for the week ahead. 🌦️

Isolated severe storms capable of hail and gusty winds are possible mainly this evening across portions of the mid-MS Valley. Clusters of thunderstorms may produce isolated flash flooding in the Florida peninsula. Elevated fire weather risk is possible in the Northern Plains into western Minnesota.

The first step of preparing for hurricanes is to know your risk. Hurricanes are not just a coastal problem, so find out today what types of water and wind hazards could happen where YOU live #HurricanePrep #HurricaneStrong noaa.gov/know-your-risk…

Significantly below-average temperatures will linger through the weekend for much of the eastern and southern regions of the U.S. Temperatures in the Southern Plains and Southern Rockies could drop around 30 degrees below the seasonal average. Texas and parts of the Lower Mississippi Valley may potentially set record-low daily maximum temperatures, with widespread temperatures in the 50s expected. Much-below-average temperatures are also expected in the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, and Midwest regions.

The U.S. and Texas are entering peak hail season! @NWSSPC data tells us that Texas has led the nation in hail reports for the last decade. It isn’t every day that Texans see a record-breaking hailstone, though. See our web story to learn more: bit.ly/SCEC-TX-Hail

Where are we at in the current solar cycle? that 11-year on average period of time when the Sun goes from a minimum of activity to a maximum and back to minimum. Meet Dr. Mark Miesch in this SWPC video to explain more.

A storm tracking across the southern U.S. will continue to bring heavy to excessive rainfall over portions of central Texas through the central Gulf Coast today. The Southeast U.S. will see heavier rain and a risk for severe thunderstorms Saturday. While much of this rainfall will be beneficial to the drought, excessive rainfall may bring areas of flash and urban flooding. Be sure to check your local forecast at weather.gov.

A storm tracking across the Southern U.S. will continue heavy rainfall across Texas and Louisiana tonight, before shifting east along the Gulf Coast on Friday. The Southeast U.S. will see heavier rain Saturday, with cooler conditions spreading west to east in the storm's wake through the weekend. While much of this rainfall will be beneficial to the ongoing drought, however pockets of excessive rainfall may bring localized areas of flash and urban flooding.

Unseasonably chilly and windy conditions likely across much of the Midwest and East late next week. Freezing or near-freezing temperatures may damage sensitive crops across areas of the Midwest. In some areas, high winds could result in low wind chills not typically seen in May.

Locally heavy rainfall and scattered flash flooding will be possible from Texas to the Lower Mississippi Valley today through Friday night as an impulse of energy rides along a frontal boundary in the region.

Welcome rainfall is on the way for parched areas of the Southeastern U.S. through the rest of the week. More is needed to alleviate the drought, but any rain is welcome to help knock down multiple wildfires that have erupted across the region. weather.gov
