STP 05-03-2015: Mother Nature Got the Most Out of the Available Moisture

Issue Date: Sunday, May 3rd, 2015
Issue Time: 9:00 AM MDT

Summary:

Moisture was only 60% of what it was on Friday, yet Mother Nature still did the best she could to ring out the majority. Storms were more isolated than the previous day, and intensity was down overall, owing to the lessened moisture; however, a few strong-to-severe storms were able to develop over the plains regions. Rainfall was generally light at the surface, as most of the moisture was confined in the mid-levels. Most rainfall reports are below 0.25 inches, with a few coming in greater than that over the Northeast and Southeast Plains.

Only one severe report was received; 60 mph thunderstorm wind gust was reported 4 miles E of Wiley in Prowers County.

No flash flooding occurred yesterday.
