Turbulent weather hits Southwest, Tornadoes possible in Midwest

A new storm system could be coming out of the Rockies and into the Midwest and the Plains, where tornadoes, huge hail and damaging winds are possible.

This stormy weather had to do with a combination of remnant moisture from Tropical Storm Lorena and a storm system in the Southwest.There was also a small and weak tornado reported just north of Phoenix. The last time there was a tornado warning for the Phoenix area was in 2016.

Flash flood watches and warnings will be in effect for Arizona and New Mexico throughout the day as tropical moisture continues to move into the area producing an additional couple inches of rain. The biggest threat with Karen for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands will be heavy rain locally of up to 8 inches which could possibly cause some localized flooding due to the mountainous terrain there.After Karen crosses Puerto Rico, it will head north into the open Atlantic Ocean where it could strengthen slightly but with no imminent threat to the USA.
