Short Range Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 407 PM EDT Sat Jun 04 2022 Valid 00Z Sun Jun 05 2022 - 00Z Tue Jun 07 2022 ...Heavy rainfall threat will continue to diminish across South Florida and the Keys this evening... ...Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected across portions of the central Plains into early next week... ...Widespread precipitation expected across the Northwest and the northern Rockies through the remainder of the weekend... The tropical disturbance that brought very heavy rainfall to portions of southern Florida is expected to track east of the peninsula this evening. As the system moves east, the threat for heavy rainfall will continue to diminish across South Florida and the Keys. While drier weather is expected across Florida, more widespread unsettled weather is anticipated across the central into the southern Plains. Showers and thunderstorms developing later this afternoon into the evening along a slow-moving, east-west oriented front over Nebraska and ahead of a dryline extending along the southern High Plains may become strong to severe. Very large hail, damaging winds, and a couple of tornadoes are possible within these storms. In addition to damaging wind and hail, heavy rainfall resulting in isolated flash flooding, is also possible. With little expected change in the overall pattern, the threat for strong to severe storms is expected to return to portions of the central Plains tomorrow and then once again on Monday, with damaging wind gusts and large hail expected to be the primary hazards. Across the Northwest and northern Rockies, a Pacific front will move across the region. Deep moisture ahead of the front is expected to support widespread precipitation across the region, with a greater threat for heavy amounts expected along the Northwest coast into the western slopes of the Cascades late today and through tomorrow. While lighter amounts are generally expected east of the Cascades into the northern Rockies, locally heavy amounts may occur. These rains may result in localized flash flooding concerns, especially across burn scar areas. Across the Southwest, dry and breezy conditions will persist, resulting in another day of elevated fire weather concerns across parts of southern Arizona, New Mexico, and West Texas.
