A very cool air mass settling into the Copper Basin near a deep upper level trough centered over Mainland Alaska was able to interact favorably with a series of weak upper shortwaves that moved into the Copper Basin from the Yukon to produce widespread snowfall.  This was able to occur near the diurnal minimum surface temperatures for several hours during the late evening of 5/30 to the early morning of 5/31.  Most of the higher amounts fell at higher elevations near the Alaska Range, including up to 10 inches near Paxson.

Reported by: Department of Highways

Numerous reports of accumulating snowfall were relayed by the Alaska Department of Transportation, most of which fell from about 11 PM 5/30 to the early morning hours of 5/31.  Around 6 inches fell over Glennallen, with mostly 1-2 inches of slush reported farther south and west.  Heavier snowfall was reported along the Tok Cutoff and northern Richardson Highway, including up to 10 inches in Paxson.
A low that settled into the west coast the first few days of May brought showers and an increased chance (20-30%) of thunderstorms that also lowered rain-snow lines to 5500-7000 feet by early morning 3 May. Stronger showers and storms produced a mix of rain, snow, and ice pellets which lead to runoff issues in the lower elevations. High end chances (10-20%) of rainfall totals were expected to reach 0.50-1.00 inch. Although snow was projected to fall in the Sierra, the combination of warm road temperatures and the early May sun angle limited accumulations on paved surfaces. But bursts of convective heavy snow showers and/or snow occurring during the overnight hours were expected to bring overnight travel impacts to mountain passes. Tightening thermal and pressure gradients with the incoming low produced gusty south-southeast winds and travel impacts for portions of Churchill, Mineral, Lyon, and Mono Counties along US-395 and US-95.

Deep-layer wind shear was   in the 20 to 30 knot range, which supported some organization of late afternoon and early evening thunderstorms. Isolated damaging wind and a short-lived funnel cloud accompanied the strongest storms.

A couple thunderstorms acquired supercell characteristics for short periods of time, generally less than an hour. These storms formed over the Ozark foothills and moved slowly east to the Mississippi River delta flatlands before weakening. Large hail up to the size of golf balls accompanied these storms. A well-developed mesocyclone with one of the storms was accompanied by a funnel cloud. The storms formed during the warmth of the afternoon along a slow-moving warm front that was draped across southeast Missouri. Periods of sunshine resulted in moderate instability south of the front, with capes around 2000 J/kg. Backed surface winds near the front, beneath 25 to 30 knots of mid-level westerly flow, supported transient supercell structures.

An organized line of severe thunderstorms clipped the southern tip of Illinois during the evening. The line of storms crossed the Mississippi River from southeast Missouri. The northern extent of the damaging winds affected two Ohio River counties, including the cities of Cairo and Mounds. Tree and power line damage were the main impacts. Storms initiated over western Missouri late in the afternoon and gradually evolved into a line that moved eastward along a frontal corridor across southern Missouri into southern Illinois. Given adequate westerly wind flow through a deep layer, the storms organized into a squall line with considerable damaging wind potential.

Scattered strong to severe thunderstorm cells developed over the Pennyrile region (east of Kentucky Lake) during the afternoon. These storms produced large hail. During the late afternoon, isolated severe thunderstorms developed near the Mississippi River and crossed the Purchase area (west of Kentucky Lake). These storms were associated with large hail up to the size of tennis balls and isolated tree damage. A warm and humid air mass was present in the afternoon, with temperatures in the mid 80's and dew points near 70. Instability was quite strong, with mixed-layer cape values around 3000 J/kg. A mid-level shortwave trough traversed southern Missouri. This trough interacted with the unstable, uncapped air mass to spawn the storms over west Kentucky. Residual outflow boundaries from morning storms provided a focus for development. Effective bulk wind shear around 30 knots supported some multicellular clusters.
