Weather Underground midday recap for Thursday, November 29, 2012.

Wet weather continued in the West on Thursday as a broad low pressure system off the West Coast pushed another cold front onshore. This system produced more heavy rain, strong winds, and flooding for the Pacific Northwest. Flow around this low pressure system continued to push abundant moisture onshore, producing heavy rain for northern California as well as Oregon and Washington. Warm temperatures associated with this system allowed for snow levels to remain above 7,000 feet for the Cascades. Rainfall totals ranged from 1.5 to 2 inches in many areas, with higher totals expected at higher elevations. Heaviest rainfall has been reported in Crescent City, California with a mid-day total of 2.11 inches. As the region was already pretty wet from the front that passed through on Wednesday, flooding has become a great concern for the region. Flood advisories have been issued for parts of the north coast of California and across western Oregon and Washington. Strong winds also developed along this frontal boundary with gusts over 60 mph in many areas, with higher gusts at higher elevations. Ahead of this system, the cold front that brought rain to the West on Wednesday has made its way eastward into the Northern Rockies where it produced scattered rain and snow showers across Montana and parts of Idaho and Wyoming.

Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Thursday have ranged from a morning low of 3 degrees at Alamosa, Colo. to a midday high of 82 degrees at Punta Gorda, Fla.
