Good Friday to one and all. A significant flash flood threat is with us through the upcoming weekend. Of course, this doesn’t mean everyone gets in on flash flooding as most won’t see anything, but other won’t be so fortunate.
Here’s a quick breakdown of how things may play out:
- Rounds of showers and storms press across the state today and hang around through the weekend.
- This is NOT wall to wall rains and you will have plenty of dry hours to get outside.
- The greatest flash flood threat looks to set up across the southern half of the state.
- Several inches of rain will be possible for many.
- The flash flooding will likely come in narrow corridors where storms move over the same areas one right after another.
- Some of this flooding may become life-threatening, similar to what happened a few weeks ago.
- The possibility of a few strong storms is there, especially across the west and south today.
Most of the region is under a Flood Watch through Saturday night and Sunday morning…
The Weather Prediction Center continues to highlight the increased flash flood threat with the Excessive Rainfall Outlooks from today through Sunday…
The low-end risk for a few severe storms is with us today as well. The Storm Prediction Center has another risk for the west and south…
By Sunday, we run the risk of a slow-moving low to spin through the region, keeping the chance for some high water going. Several models try to keep this hanging around into the first half of next week…
As always, I leave you with your daily tracking toys…

Make it a fantastic Friday and take care.
Thanks Chris. We had a fairly decent thunderstorm last night. Lots of lighting and heavy rains. The present radar returns suggest more widespread rains are heading into the State. Areas that are prong to flooding stay alert.
