I would highly recommend watching today’s video regarding the timing and evolution of strong storms through the next few days!
Today’s video:
1-2″ of rain fell across a large section of the central plains over the last few days with a few local areas picking up over 4″.
We are still dealing with wrap-around rain as of 8:40am CDT across the eastern half of IA/MO. This will persist in bands through the rest of the day. There is a pulse of showers and storms across southwestern KS that will push south and east through the morning and early afternoon.
Upper level energy will push out of the rockies and initiate some discrete cells that provide the potential for severe weather across western KS/NE this afternoon and evening. I would look for storm development around 2 to 3pm CDT across eastern CO and far western KS/NE. By early evening these storms will congeal into a broken line with some models taking this cluster of storms southeastward with time into OK/AR. I wouldn’t rule out far southeastern KS into far southern MO to feel the impact of these storms. Large hail, damaging winds, and isolated tornadoes are possible with these storms through the evening. A leftover wave of showers and storms will impact portions of eastern NE/western IA into Saturday morning. Later in the afternoon tomorrow storm development is likely to occur along the IA/MO border. Simulated radar through the next 48 hours:
SPC Severe Weather Outlooks for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday: Elevated risks for severe weather across portions of the central plains, especially Friday and Sunday across KS.
Rainfall amounts of 0.5-1″ can be expected across portions of western/southern KS through Sunday morning. More rainfall than modeled is possible along the MO/IA border through this time period.
Over the next five days many of us cash in on 0.5-1.5″ with locally higher amounts where the main storm clusters develop and track.
High temperatures over the next four days: A relax in the heat today before temperatures begin to rise this weekend.
Low temperatures over the next four days:
Dew points over the next four days: Humidity begins to increase late this weekend into early next week.
