|
(AP) - This NOAA satellite image taken Monday, October 12, 2009 at 01:45 PM EDT shows widespread cloud coverage over much of the Eastern US. Numerous showers, thunderstorms, locally heavy rainfall, and strong winds develop from southeastern Texas to the Mid-Atlantic Coast as a trough of low pressure dips across the Tennessee Valley and the Appalachians and a frontal boundary extends across the Central Gulf Coast. Abundant moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and daytime heating intensifies unsettling weather activity in these regions. Heavy concentrations of precipitation create a risk for flash flooding, while strong thunderstorms create a chance for occasional cloud to ground lightning strikes. Strong thunderstorms in the Southeast run the risk of turning severe. Meanwhile, widespread clouds engulf the Central US and the Northeast as a cold high pressure system extends from the Upper Midwest through the Northeast and frontal boundary reaches into the Central Plains. Moist air lifting over this frontal boundary produces areas of fog and drizzle in western Texas. Areas of snowfall persist in the Upper Mississippi Valley, while daytime temperatures in the northern tier of the the nation remain at below seasonal averages. (AP PHOTO/WEATHER UNDERGROUND)
