Areas of Heavy to Excessive Rainfall and Hot Temperatures This Week

Heavy to excessive rainfall could bring areas of flooding at times Monday through Thursday across parts of the central Plains into the Midwest as well as southern Arizona and New Mexico. Hot temperatures and high humidity will continue across much of east Texas into the lower and mid-Mississippi Valley through at least midweek. Read More >

Multiple rounds of showers/storms are expected through the week. Heaviest rain totals should be across NE Kansas and NW Missouri, where heavy rain has already fallen this morning, with an additional 1-3 inches possible. As such, a flood watch has been issued for NE Kansas and NW Missouri from 1 pm Tuesday through 1 pm Wednesday.
Areas of heavy rainfall are expected starting today and continuing through Wednesday morning. Places in far NW MO and NE KS have already seen several inches of rain making those areas more susceptible to flooding from subsequent storms.
Repeated rainfall with heavy downpours which may lead to flooding remain the primary hazard; however, there is a marginal chance for a strong to severe storm later this evening. Damaging wind are the most likely hazard with any strong to severe storm.
