Woot for rain! I don't want to have two yards full of dead grass after I move over there. The cross-country drive starts two weeks from today!

you might want to have a plan for alternate routes because you're going to be driving through areas that can get really bad real fast.. I was driving cross country one year and had to detour off 70 to 35 down to 40 because of this storm from hell in KC.. They ended up having 7 or 8 tornados that day and I barely missed it. I was watching it in my rearview mirror though

I'm heading out I-90 East and going down through eastern Washington and Oregon, into Idaho, Utah, the 4 corners area, New Mexico and I'll hit I-10 in southern New Mexico. That'll take me east to San Antonio. I didn't think there was strong weather this time of year along that route; I'm staying far away from the midwest. Am I mistaken?

NOAA has a shot of getting some rain tonight over there...

oh yeah, you're safe on that route. Probably the best way to go.

If you go outside you will notice is has become cloudy. That is the top of a thunderstorm in Mexico.

As rd said the rain is moving SW to NE but the whole line is shifting and filling in east so I think we will get wet. But these are dangerous storms almost every one os severe right now.

Scuba Steve, I heard that they're expecting decent snows in Denver. I haven't checked your route entirely, but you should be clear from the severe storms.
---------------------------------------------------
Now for us, we're seeing a nice flareup of storms to our west.

If you turn up the sensitivity of the radar, you will see with rain black hole that has developed over the SA metro area.
