The Weather Alternative forecast for May 8-10, 2007 issued on April 19th called for severe weather potential over the Northeast and New England as well as the Rockies due to low pressure systems. (Bold is mine)
Northeast and New England
May 10-Accuweather.com
After days of sunshine and warm temperatures, the Northeast is bracing for the potential of severe thunderstorms developing this evening. The clash of cooler air moving into the region and warm moist air already in place has sparked the development of thunderstorm cells over Pennsylvania and western New York.
Isolated damaging winds and large hail will be the primary threats of the thunderstorms as they move east into New England this evening. The Severe Weather Center lists the storm-related Watches and Warnings in effect from central Pennsylvania across upstate New York into northern Vermont.
Earlier today, strong winds downed power lines in Willseyville, N.Y., while hail was reported in Oneida County in upstate New York. Overnight, cooler air will stabilize the atmosphere and diminish the intensity of the storms.
The Rocky Mountains
The National Weather Service reported the following:
315 PM CDT TUE MAY 8 2007
...HEAVY RAIN WILL CONTINUE ACROSS WEST TEXAS AND SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
.A STRONG UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM OVER THE ARIZONA/NEW MEXICO BORDER THIS AFTERNOON... AND A STATIONARY FRONT ACROSS THE PERMIAN BASIN AND LOWER TRANS PECOS... WILL COMBINE TO CONTINUE TO PRODUCE STORMS WITH HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS WEST TEXAS AND SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO. THESE STORMS WHEN COMBINED WITH HEAVY RAIN OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS HAS CREATED THE POTENTIAL FOR A PROLONGED FLASH FLOODING EVENT.
May 10- The Weather Channel
Deep low pressure aloft over the Rockies that had taken its time moving east this week, inflicting day after day of severe weather and inundating rain over the Plains has been replaced by a drier, upper-level ridge of high pressure.
