The Daily Safety Xchange

Weather Report 05/06/2025

Widespread showers and storms to bring scattered to numerous instances of flash flooding and severe weather to portions of Texas and the Lower Mississippi Valley Tuesday.

Showers and storms continue to linger across much of the Ohio Valley/Lower Great Lakes and Northeast through Tuesday.

Cooler, well below average temperatures persist across much of the Interior West and central/southern Plains as the northern Plains/Upper Midwest remain much above average through mid-week.

A stagnant, omega block pattern over the CONUS with an upper-low over the Ohio Valley and another upper-low over the Southwest will begin to break down over the next couple of days as both lows begin to make some eastward progress, but not before another couple days of associated unsettled weather with a threat for flash flooding and severe storms.

Showers and storms also continue this morning under the eastern upper-low over the Ohio Valley and ahead of an accompanying surface frontal system through the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic. Moderate to locally heavy rainfall is most likely from the Lower Great Lakes/Upper Ohio Valley east through the northern Mid-Atlantic.

WYOMING

A wet, cool, and windy day ahead. The heaviest precipitation has already occurred but lingers showers throughout the morning and afternoon hours. Expect a warming and mainly dry trend for Wednesday and beyond.

Areas of dense fog have developed across Laramie County and portions of the I-80 corridor. This will last through the morning but should improve by late morning into the early afternoon. However, the I-80 summit may see on and off fog through the day today. Allow for extra time if traveling this morning!

UTAH

SOUTH PLAINS

Heavy rain that could lead to another round of flash flooding and river flooding is expected tonight into Tuesday night. Some areas will be particularly susceptible due to ground that remains saturated and continued runoff.

Have a good and safe day out there!
