THE WARM FRONT IN TEXAS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHWARD AS A
PACIFIC COLD FRONT DROPS SOUTHWARD INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS BY
TONIGHT. THIS FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EASTWARD ACROSS TEXAS
THROUGH SATURDAY AND INTO SUNDAY. MEANWHILE...THE COLD FRONT OVER
THE OHIO AND MISSISSIPPI VALLEYS WILL CONTINUE TO BE DRAPED ACROSS
THE OHIO...TENNESSEE...MISSISSIPPI VALLEYS FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
THE COLD FRONT THAT WILL MOVE THROUGH TEXAS WILL EVENTUALLY SWEEP
ACROSS THESE REGIONS BY THE END OF THE WEEKEND. THESE BOUNDARIES
WILL CAUSE MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS TO THE MID-ATLANTIC OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. AREAS
FROM NORTH TEXAS TO NORTH KENTUCKY CAN EXPECT 2 TO 4 INCHES OF
RAIN...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS. A MODERATE RISK OF FLASH
FLOODING IS IN PLACE FOR SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND INTO NORTH
ARKANSAS THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. HOWEVER...A HIGH RISK OF FLASH
FLOODING WILL EXTEND FROM SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA TO NORTH KENTUCKY
FROM SATURDAY MORNING TO SUNDAY MORNING. BECAUSE SOILS ARE ALREADY
SATURATED FROM PREVIOUS HEAVY RAINFALL...ANY ADDITIONAL RAINFALL
CAN OVERWHELM RIVERS AND CAUSE MAJOR FLOODING. IN THE COLDER AIR
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...UP TO ONE TENTH OF AN INCH OF ICE CAN BE
EXPECTED FROM CENTRAL KANSAS TO NORTHERN MISSOURI AND SOUTHERN
IOWA.
THE NEXT STORM SUMMARY WILL BE ISSUED BY THE WEATHER PREDICTION
CENTER AT 900 PM CST. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR LOCAL NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE OFFICE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS EVENT.
