struck parts of the Carolinas and the Tennessee Valley region. Skies
were clear to partly cloudy, with dry conditions, throughout the
Northeast, mid-Atlantic, Great Lakes and Ohio Valley states.
In the nation's midsection, showers and isolated thunderstorms
stretched from the northern Plains and upper Midwest south to the
Missouri Valley and southern
Plains. Thunderstorms were spread across much of Texas, accompanied by
hail in Bandera County and winds that blew roofs off houses in
Gillespie County. Rain was scattered in the Pacific Northwest, northern
Rockies and Great Basin. Elsewhere in the West, dry conditions
persisted from California through the desert Southwest and into the
central and southern Rockies.
Rain swept across much of the East Coast and central United States on
Friday while isolated flash flooding and hail larger than one inch fell
in parts of the
Midwest. Showers and thunderstorms stretched from New York to Florida.
Some storms in South Florida became severe and a funnel cloud was
reported near Marco Island. Valdosta, GA, reported the heaviest
rainfall accumulation at 3.19 inches. Thunderstorms and rain showers
also drenched parts of the Dakotas, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas,
Missouri, Texas and Oklahoma. Parts of Kansas reported hail over one

cloudy skies and drier conditions dominated New England, the West
Coast, the Ohio Valley, and much of the Southwest.
5th-11th...High humidity spread through the nation's eastern half
Monday under mostly cloudy skies, while light snow dusted the northern
Rockies. Scattered thunderstorms developed in parts of Alabama,
Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana and northern Florida. A few
heavy pockets of rain included Mobile, Ala., which received more than 1

Dakotas and Minnesota into Wisconsin, Iowa, northern Illinois and
northern Missouri. Wind gusted to 92 mph during the night in
north-central South Dakota, and to 61
mph at Fort Dodge, Iowa. Wind damage was reported in South Dakota and

thunderstorms spread across Michigan and the lower Great Lakes,
reaching parts of northern New York state by afternoon. Scattered
thunderstorms developed during the afternoon heat from the Mississippi
Valley eastward, affecting parts of Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia, West Virginia, Florida and
some sections of the Ohio Valley. Clemson, SC, reported 0.65 of an inch

Warm, sticky weather with thunderstorms prevailed Friday in much of the
nation, with drenching rains off the Gulf Coast due to Tropical Storm
Arlene. Scattered showers and thunderstorms moved across the Southeast,
mid-Atlantic, Tennessee Valley and Northeast. Storms struck southern
Alabama, southern Georgia and the entire state of Florida, some
accompanied by strong wind whipped up by Arlene. Most of the rain fell
across the southern half of Florida and the state's Panhandle. The
Florida Keys reported wind in excess of 40 mph. Farther to the north,
lingering showers and thunderstorms diminished across the eastern Great
Lakes. In the central United States, scattered showers and
thunderstorms continued to plague the central Plains. Most of the
storms across the Plains were very strong, with lightning, high wind
and heavy downpours. Some of the storms contained small- to medium-size
hail. Scattered rain fell in the upper Mississippi Valley during the
early morning hours, with strong storms later in the Texas Panhandle.
In the West, rain was scattered in the central Rockies, High Plains and
the Great Basin. After showers early across California and southwestern
Arizona, skies cleared as fair weather settled into the area, as well
as the entire desert Southwest.
12th-18th...Scattered thunderstorms developed in the East on Monday
while muggy conditions persisted in the central and southern Plains.
Warm temperatures helped breed storms across parts of Florida, Georgia,
the Carolinas, Virginia, the Ohio Valley and eastern Great Lakes.
Rainfall amounts generally remained under a half-inch. But almost 2 1/2
inches drenched Kalamazoo, MI. In the nation's midsection, showers and
thunderstorms developed in the Dakotas,
Nebraska, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Rainfall amounts were generally
under an
inch. Muggy and hot conditions persisted over much of the southern to

isolated tornados and lightning were reported. A 1.75-inch hailstone
fell in Clancy, MT, and wind gusts of 60 mph were reported in Outlook

to partly cloudy skies.
19th-25th...Thunderstorms poured nearly 2 inches of rain on parts of
Florida on Wednesday as showers and additional thunderstorms were
scattered over the Northeast and parts of the Southwest. Low pressure
centered over Florida produced widespread showers and thunderstorms
across the state. Most rainfall amounts were light, but Fort Lauderdale
reported a total of 1.75 inches, with 1.36 inches of that coming in one
strong storm. A cold front sliding eastward through the Northeast
generated a line of scattered showers during the morning that extended
from the Ohio to Maine, with Zanesville, Ohio, reported 0.62 of an inch
of rain. As that front rolled out to sea, scattered thunderstorms
formed during the afternoon across the eastern half of Pennsylvania,
southeastern New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Mostly light showers
and isolated thunderstorms developed during the afternoon in the
Southwest, spreading across parts of northern and western Arizona,
southern Nevada, Utah, western Colorado and southern Wyoming. A few
showers also extended into southern California.
Elsewhere, showers moved across the coast of Oregon and Washington. A
few light showers spread through Montana into North Dakota.
Thunderstorms were possible across North Dakota, northern Minnesota and
northern Wisconsin.
Storms swept through the Midwest and portions of the Northern and
Central Rockies on Friday with reports of heavy downpours, hail and
strong winds. Some parts of southern Minnesota, Iowa, South Dakota,
Nebraska and Wisconsin received up to an inch of rain on Friday. Hail
measuring 1.75 inches was reported in both Valentine, NE, and Gilman,
WI, during the early morning hours Friday. There also were reports of
trees blown down in southern Minnesota and western Wisconsin; a wind
gust of 67 miles per hour was reported in Belle Plaine, MN. Strong
winds, hail and heavy downpours also were reported in the eastern
portions of the Northern and Central Rockies. A hailstone of 1.75
inches was reported near Burlington, CO. Storms also became severe in
portions of western Texas and Louisiana. Scattered rain showers and
thunderstorms were reported across the Southeast. Light rain showers
also fell in portions of northern New England.
26th-30th...Thunderstorms poured nearly 2 inches of rain on parts of
Florida on Wednesday as showers and additional thunderstorms were
scattered over the Northeast and parts of the Southwest. Low pressure
centered over Florida produced widespread showers and thunderstorms
across the state. Most rainfall amounts were light, but Fort Lauderdale
reported a total of 1.75 inches, with 1.36 inches of that coming in one
strong storm. A cold front sliding eastward through the Northeast
generated a line of scattered showers during the morning that extended
from the Ohio to Maine, with Zanesville, Ohio, reported 0.62 of an inch
of rain. As that front rolled out to sea, scattered thunderstorms
formed during the afternoon across the eastern half of Pennsylvania,
southeastern New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Mostly light showers
and isolated thunderstorms developed during the afternoon in the
Southwest, spreading across parts of northern and western Arizona,
southern Nevada, Utah, western Colorado and southern Wyoming. A few
showers also extended into southern California.
Elsewhere, showers moved across the coast of Oregon and Washington. A
few light showers spread through Montana into North Dakota.
