The very large low pressure system off the coast of the pacific northwest has pushed a line of storms across the NW .. now reaching the north midwest.. and upper NW.
Also, Texas has formed a small counter-clockwise rotating storm (mini low pressure system) .. which is heading ESE towards Houston.
In the Midwest.. Nebraska, Iowa, and North Kansas -- we see another developing line of weaker storms.. which may break out as the day goes on ... into hail and damaging winds.
Up north.. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, North Dakota, and Montana... strong cell thunderstorms are in the direct area -- and will continue throughout the day, into tomorrow.
Be aware in the midwest over the next 2 days for the possibility of severe weather -- as the storm up north draws in moisture from the south... for SURE the next system off the west coast.. currently forming into its own two smaller lows coming ashore now over OR, WA..
South USA -- just offshore of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida --- hail detected.
Finally, tropical storm 'Bud' .. has formed off the west coast of central america... has projected paths to bring it up over central Mexico --- towards the general vicinity of southwest Texas. Be aware this may come to the NE over mexico into the Gulf or TX.. there is also the possibility it may die out over Mexico... lets hope this is the case.
