Today’s regional forecast:
Forecast radar over the next 24 hours (through 7am CDT Tuesday) showing the rains continuing to lift northward across Kansas today, becoming more numerous this afternoon and especially tonight, creeping north into southeast Nebraska and across western Missouri.
Rain through 7am CDT Tuesday: Widespread swath of 0.5″ to 1.50″. across much of Kansas into southeast Nebraska and southwest Missouri.
This slow-moving system continues to bring more rain Tuesday across Kansas, with the rains lifting northeast across Missouri throughout the day. Rains will finally shift out of Kansas from west to east Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, with the focus by Wednesday shifting across Missouri. You’ll also note a front bringing at least some scattered rain risks across Iowa/Nebraska Tuesday into Wednesday.
Total rain from this morning going through Wednesday morning: Overall a 1-3″ rainfall event across the eastern half of Kansas through central/southwest Missouri. I think southwest Missouri is at greatest risks to exceed 2-3″ in areas with a flash flood concern especially on Tuesday.
Keep in mind just beyond the time-frame of the rainfall forecast above, the widespread rains work east into eastern Missouri Wednesday afternoon/night so those areas will also cash in on a soaking rain. The question mark will be areas further north across northeast Missouri and southeast Iowa. While you receive some rain, the best forcing remains to your south. Another disturbance working in from the Dakotas may bring a few severe storms to northern Nebraska Wednesday PM/night, then depending on exact track may bring some showers across Iowa Thursday.
