THE SURFACE LOW IN NEW MEXICO IS EXPECTED TO MOVE NORTHEASTWARD
THROUGH THE WEEKEND...BRINGING THE COLD FRONT WITH IT THROUGH THE
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY ON SATURDAY EVENING AND THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY
ON SUNDAY. THE FRONT LOCATED IN TEXAS WILL MOVE SLOWLY NORTHWARD
THROUGH THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY ON SATURDAY. THE PORTION OF
THAT FRONT FARTHER EAST WILL LINGER IN THE OHIO VALLEY BEFORE THE
COLD FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH. ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS
IS EXPECTED AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT THIS WEEKEND. THE AXIS OF
HEAVY RAINFALL FOR SATURDAY WILL ONCE AGAIN BE FROM NORTH TEXAS
NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE OHIO VALLEY AND PARTS OF THE TENNESSEE
VALLEY. THESE AREAS CAN EXPECT 2 TO 4 INCHES OF RAIN WITH LOCALLY
HIGHER AMOUNTS. BECAUSE SOILS IN THESE AREAS ARE ALREADY SATURATED
FROM PREVIOUS HEAVY RAINFALL...ANY ADDITIONAL RAINFALL COULD
OVERWHELM RIVERS AND CAUSE MAJOR FLOODING. CONSEQUENTLY...A HIGH
RISK OF FLASH FLOODING IS IN PLACE THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING FOR
SOUTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA NORTHEASTWARD THROUGH SOUTHWESTERN OHIO. BY
SUNDAY...AS THE COLD FRONT SWEEPS EASTWARD...THE AXIS OF HEAVY
RAINFALL SHIFTS SOUTH FROM THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND THE
SOUTHEAST...WITH 1 TO 2 INCHES...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER
AMOUNTS...EXPECTED FOR THESE REGIONS. IN THE CENTRAL PLAINS TO
MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WHERE COLDER AIR IS IN
PLACE...ADDITIONAL LIGHT ICING IS POSSIBLE ON SATURDAY.
ALSO...ADDITIONAL HEAVY SNOW OF 6 TO 10 INCHES IS POSSIBLE FOR
PORTIONS OF THE UPPER MIDWEST ON SATURDAY.
THE NEXT STORM SUMMARY WILL BE ISSUED BY THE WEATHER PREDICTION
CENTER AT 300 PM CST. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR LOCAL NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE OFFICE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS EVENT.
