Flash flooding is also a risk over a large area of the central United States.
Radar simulation through Wednesday evening, via the high resolution NAM model. By Ian Livingston Ian Livingston Email Bio Follow May 7 at 2:09 PM In the latest volley from this spring’s storm barrage, severe weather is set to crank up across parts of the Southern Plains. From there, violent thunderstorms will spread east along with the threat of some flooding, in areas that already have been inundated this year.
The issuance of a moderate risk rating for tornadoes is infrequent, with only a handful in most years of late. A moderate risk suggests that a regional tornado outbreak is possible. By Tuesday night and continuing into early Wednesday, a large squall line containing damaging winds may race east across parts of Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.
Flooding concerns Flooding is an omnipresent concern this spring in the central United States, and only worsened by any more rain. Given all the precipitation in recent months across the region, soils are saturated and rivers are at the brim or beyond. “There is still some uncertainty in forecast rainfall over the next two days,” the Weather Service wrote regarding the flood threat along the Mississippi. “Heavier rainfall than currently forecast may affect the rate of renewed rises and crests later this week into next week.”
