Weather Outlook for Sunday

Sun, 11 May 2008 08:26:00 EDT
A strong storm system which was responsible for hundreds of reports of severe weather on Saturday will continue to move east on Sunday. Ongoing strong to severe thunderstorms over the Southeast are expected to continue. Farther north, very heavy rain is expected to occur across the Mid-Atlantic region Sunday and Sunday night. Much colder and drier air will flow into the Southern Plains as high pressure builds into the region Sunday. In the West, cool temperatures will be found behind a cold front which will reach from northern Wyoming to Utah and Nevada by Sunday evening. Mostly scattered precipitation will follow behind the cold front. Most of this precipitation will fall as rain, however as colder air works into the region accumulating snow is likely, with the best chances occurring into the higher terrain of northwestern Wyoming, central Idaho and central Colorado.

NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards
NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards is an "All Hazards" radio network, making it your single source for comprehensive weather and emergency information. In conjunction with Federal, State, local Emergency Managers, and other public officials, NOAA Weather Radio also broadcasts warning and post-event information for all types of hazards – including natural (such as earthquakes or avalanches), environmental (such as chemical releases or oil spills), and public safety (such as AMBER alerts or 911 Telephone outages). NOAA Weather Radio is provided as a public service by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and includes more than 985 transmitters, covering all 50 states, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the U.S. Pacific Territories. NOAA Weather Radio requires a special radio receiver or scanner capable of picking up the signal. These specially built radios receive weather information directly from the National Weather Service. Alarms in the radio are activated by the National Weather Service when severe weather warnings are issued. Some receivers offer the capability to program counties for alarms. For more details...
