THE STATIONARY FRONT DRAPED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN U.S. WILL BEGIN TO
LIFT AS A WARM FRONT LATER TODAY...AND WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTH
THROUGH SATURDAY AND CONNECT WITH A PACIFIC COLD FRONT MOVING INTO
TEXAS. THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL SWIFTLY
PROGRESS EASTWARD ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES INTO NEW ENGLAND...AND
THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTHWARD INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC AND OHIO
VALLEY BY SATURDAY MORNING. THIS 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
SOUTHERN INDIANA CAN EXPECT 2 TO 4 INCHES OF RAIN...WITH LOCALLY
HIGHER AMOUNTS. A MODERATE RISK OF FLASH FLOODING IS IN PLACE FOR
NORTHEASTERN TEXAS...SOUTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA...MOST OF
ARKANSAS...AND WESTERN TENNESSEE ON FRIDAY...AND WILL EXTEND INTO
THE OHIO VALLEY BY SATURDAY. THE POTENTIAL FLOODING MAY OVERWHELM
MAIN STEM RIVERS AND CAUSE MAJOR RIVER FLOODING. ADDITIONALLY...IN
THE COLDER AIR BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...LIGHT ACCUMULATING ICE CAN
BE EXPECTED FROM CENTRAL KANSAS TO NORTHERN MISSOURI AND A SMALL
PORTION OF WESTERN ILLINOIS. IN ADDITION...THE CENTRAL PORTIONS OF
THE NORTHEAST CAN EXPECT UP TO ONE TENTH OF AN INCH OF ICE.
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.
