Weather Summary
Tim Roche
Weather Underground midday recap for Tuesday, May 22, 2012.

Wet weather spread across the Northeast on Tuesday as a disorganized series of fronts stretched over the region. Moisture from the remains of Tropical Storm Alberto also flowed ashore, enhancing the intensity of the rain. Temperatures throughout the East were generally moderate despite the clouds, though relative humidity levels were fairly high.

Clouds broke up to the West of the Ohio Valley, where temperatures were warmer and humidity dropped off substantially. Temperatures were also warm in the Southeast and Plains.

Clear skies spread across the Rockies into the Southwest as well with the entire region under sunny skies with warm temperatures.

Clouds were back in the Picture in the Northwest where low pressure just off the coast brought rain to the to Washington and Oregon. Some of the rain along the coast and north of Portland was heavy, with several inches of precipitation reported just north of the city.

In the Atlantic. Tropical Storm Alberto had dissipated into a disorganized mass of clouds and thunderstorms by by Tuesday afternoon, though the storm was still churning up a significant portion of sea.

Public Information Statement
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 5:58 PM CDT on May 22, 2012

... Severe Thunderstorm Watch safety rules...

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means that conditions are favorable for
the development of severe weather in the designated area. During a
watch there is no cause for immediate concern. You should go about
your normal business... but be on the lookout and keep up to date on
the latest weather developments. Public safety officials should
activate prearranged plans.

A Severe Thunderstorm Warning... on the other hand... means that a
severe thunderstorm has been sighted or indicated by radar. People in
the path of the storm should take immediate action to safeguard
themselves and their family.

Technically speaking... a severe thunderstorm is defined as having
wind gusts which exceed 58 mph and/or hail at least 1 inch in
diameter. However... as these storms develop... they can be accompanied
by tornadoes. Listen to NOAA Weather Radio or other local media to
learn if a warning has been issued for your area. Also... keep a close
watch on the thunderstorms as tornadoes can form quickly. If you see
a tornado... move quickly into a basement. If none is available... seek
shelter in a small interior room on the lowest floor and stay away
from outside walls... doors and windows. In schools... factories or
other institutional type buildings... stay out of auditoriums and
gymnasiums.
