Key Points – Tuesday, July 25, 2017:
Synopsis: Good Tuesday morning! Quiet radar today, that will change as we get into Wednesday and early Thursday especially north and east for flash flooding rains and severe storms. After this system moves east, we see a noticeably cooler pattern settle in for much of next week, although drier risks are in the cards as well across parts of the central Plains. If you have any questions, please let us know! Have a blessed day.
Today’s video (6 min):
Strong storm threats next 2 days…damaging winds and very heavy rainfall being the biggest threats.
Energy forecast into Thursday morning…focus next 24 hours will be across Nebraska and Iowa mainly, with Wednesday night into Thursday pushing across NE Kansas, Iowa and northern Missouri.
Rainfall guidance next 4 days…the overall takeaway is the data is seeing the storm cluster event well; with that being said, use this as guidance for where the heaviest rain will fall not the exact numbers. Certainly localized 3″+ is possible across Nebraska and Iowa.
