Updated Heavy Rain and Flood Outlook for Central United States - 2:20pm CDT Sunday

This is one of the wettest rainfall amount forecasts for the central United States that I have seen in 50+ years of looking at this. That is a forecast of more than 7 inches of rain along I-35 from Madill, OK to the DFW Metroplex! There are multiple areas where more than 4" inches of rain is forecast to fall. Please pay attention to the forecasts this week!   Updated flash flood forecasts. The first is from 7pm this evening to 7pm Monday. The red area has a serious risk of flash flooding.  The serious risk moves east from 7pm Monday to 7pm Tuesday. It is vital  that travelers and residents monitor the weather in these areas, including those on Interstate highways that some unfortunately believe "never flood." Make sure you have a "Go Kit" ready if you live in a flood prone or low-lying area.

Great Plains and Midwest Flood Threat

By -

Looks like next week features a major flooding risk across the central Great Plains and western Midwest.  Here is a forecast of rainfall for the next 12-days. The remains of Hurricane Polo will cause as much as eight inches of rain over this time period. The band of heaviest forecast rain may have to be widened a bit to the south.  Three to 5" inches of rain was widespread over the southeast half of New Mexico this past week causing serious flooding in a number of areas. Additional heavy rain, on top of saturated grounds, could cause major to record flooding.  As much as 4" occurred last week in north central Kansas where an additional 5" of rain is forecast. Again, major flooding is possible.  I urge you to keep on the weather this week if you live in the affected areas.

My View Out the Window Just a Few Minutes ago. There were no filters. And, the donut-shaped cloud highlight at upper center was genuine. The Kansas sky is amazing.
