Heavy rain into the weekend could aggravate the flooding situation near the Missouri and Mississippi rivers.
Precipitation forecast through Saturday from National Weather Service. By Matthew Cappucci March 29 at 3:43 PM From the Central Plains to the Midwest, it has been a disastrous spring for river flooding. A weather system slated to bring more heavy rains Friday into Saturday could aggravate the situation along and near the Missouri and Mississippi rivers.
Between a quarter- and a half-inch of total moisture can be expected in Nebraska, falling primarily as snow in the west as temperatures plummet behind a cold front.In Iowa, the rain will be confined to the state’s southern half; about a third of an inch can be expected. Rainfall amounts could be maximized near Interstates 70 and 35 in Kansas, where a bull’s eye of three-quarters of an inch to an inch could end up being the case.
River gauges near and above flood stage on Friday. As of Friday afternoon, the National Weather Service said 39 river gauges were reporting major flooding and that another 73 were reporting moderate flooding in the nation’s midsection.It’s not just rainfall that’s posing an issue. A series of meteorological mood swings will continue to exacerbate flood concerns, melting snow in short, rapid bursts.
