Weather Underground midday recap for Tuesday,October 29,2013.
Snow showers developed across the upper Midwest on Tuesday, while rain
showers developed just to the south across the Mid-Mississippi River
valley. A strong low pressure system started to move off the Rockies and
into the Plains. Flow around this system created a frontal boundary
that extended eastward over the Mid-Mississippi River valley and into
the Eastern Valleys. Showers and thunderstorms developed across the
region from Arkansas and Missouri through the Ohio River valley.
Rainfall totals reached over 2 inches in some places, with a midday
total of 2.32 inches of rain reported at Springfield, Missouri. At the
same time, cooler temperatures to the north allowed for snow showers to
develop over Minnesota and Wisconsin, which moved eastward into the
Upper Peninsula of Michigan throughout the day. Snowfall totals were
light, but the northern most areas saw extremely chilly conditions with
low temperatures in the teens.
Meanwhile in the West, a low pressure system lingered over the central
Rockies and allowed for rain and snow showers to persist from southern
Idaho through Colorado. Periods of heavy rain showers developed to the
south of this activity over New Mexico and western Texas. The West Coast
saw some cooler temperatures with areas of light rain and drizzle.
