Three things to know about weather for RVers and travelers Saturday 27 May

Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are possible again across much of the High Plains this afternoon and evening.
Heavy rains from thunderstorms over the northern High Plains and southern Plains may produce areas of flooding today.
A non-tropical low along the coast of the southeastern U.S. will produce gusty winds, heavy rain, dangerous surf, and rip current conditions through Sunday. While this system is not classified as a low-end tropical storm, it may feel like one.
