ACUS41 KWBC 021448 SCCNS1 Storm Summary Number 7 for Southwest into Central U.S. Heavy Rainfall NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 900 AM MDT Fri Oct 02 2026 ...Heavy rainfall and flash flooding threat focuses on southern and central Texas today, while rain gradually winds down across the Central Plains and Midwest remains lighter and beneficial... Flash Flood Warnings are in effect for portions of the Heart of Texas. Flood Warnings remain in effect dotted across the central Plains from central Kansas, northern Missouri, central and eastern Iowa into northwest Illinois. Flood Advisories are in effect for portions of south-central Texas. Flood Watches are in effect for much of Eastern Texas. For a detailed graphical depiction of the latest watches, warnings and advisories, please see www.weather.gov At 800 AM MDT...The well defined stationary front exists from northern Coahuila in Mexico, across central Texas into south-central Oklahoma, through southern Missouri and into the Ohio River Valley. A few surface waves still exist along the front but are generally transient in time, though the most persistent low exists in central Texas with a 1012 mb (29.88 in Hg) pressure. Deep layer moisture plume from the sub-tropical Pacific and Western Gulf over-tops the entire length of the frontal zone through the Ohio River Valley, however, only remarkable remaining unstable air is upstream near the sources across much of Texas. As such, RADAR mosaic depicts remaining strongest thunderstorms along the front in the Heart of Texas, with a few more scattered cells into Deep South Texas as well. Downstream across the Ozark Plateau into the Lower Ohio River Valley, a broad shield of moderate rainfall still exists, mostly providing more beneficial, lower intensity rainfall which becomes even lighter across Ohio into the St. Lawrence Valley at the far extremity of the stationary front. ...Selected preliminary Storm Total Rainfall in inches from 600 AM MDT Sun Sep 27 through 800 AM MDT Thu Oct 01... ...ARKANSAS...

The reduced moisture and faster moving northern stream flow will further diminish the risk of heavy rainfall across the northern portion of the front keeping the greater risk of intense thunderstorms generally limited to Texas and far southeast Oklahoma/southwest Arkansas. Rainfall rates of 1-2"/hr and spots of 2-4" will remain across this area of stronger thunderstorms and as such WPC has retained a Slight Risk of Excessive Rainfall (level 2 of 4) for much of central Texas into southeast Oklahoma. The plume of moisture and risk of thunderstorms will continue through the weekend but continue to slowly shift eastward into the Southeast. This will be the last Storm Summary issued by the Weather Prediction Center for this event. Please refer to your local National Weather service office for additional information. Gallina $$

Over southern and central Texas, the front is expected to stall as a strengthening low-level jet feeds deep Gulf moisture into the region, supporting repeated rounds of thunderstorms with rainfall rates of 1 to 3 inches per hour from the Hill Country and the I-35 corridor, including the Austin and San Antonio metro areas, to South Texas and the Rio Grande. Additional rainfall of 3 to 6 inches with locally higher amounts is possible tonight, followed by another 1 to 3 inches on Friday over areas already saturated by heavy rain. A Moderate (level 3 of 4) of Excessive Rainfall is in effect tonight for portions of southern and central Texas, with a broader slight risk (level 2 of 4) extending from Texas to Wisconsin. On Friday, a Slight Risk remains in place from South Texas northward into the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area. Farther north, the front will push east through the Ohio Valley on Friday, bringing the heavy rain threat to an end across the central Plains and Midwest, although river flooding will continue in many areas. The front is expected to reach the Southeast and Gulf Coast on Saturday, shifting the threat of heavy rainfall into those regions this weekend. The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction Center at 900 AM MDT. Please refer to your local National Weather Service office for additional information on this event. Eovino $$

In doing so, the frontal zone will begin to orient more south-southwest to northeast from the central Texas Rio Grande through Oklahoma and Kansas and through Missouri into Illinois to southern LP of Michigan as the strong ridge of high pressure over the southeast holds strong. This allows for strong, moist and unstable return moisture flow from the western Gulf and subtropical Pacific to align through the depth of the atmosphere while providing a repeating/training environment for thunderstorms that develop today. Greatest instability and moisture availability will be across portions of TX into Kansas where greater coverage of heavy rainfall producing thunderstorms will have the potential intense rain rates of 1-3"/hr with broad area of 2-4" across much of southern to northeast TX and southeast Oklahoma, with embedded higher totals 6+" likely. As such a Moderate Risk of Excessive Rainfall is in place aligned with flood watches across Texas into far southeast Oklahoma. Further north across Kansas into Missouri, reduced instability but solid convergence should support strong thunderstorms but may be a bit more scattered in nature relative to further south. Still a broad Slight Risk remains in place across all of southern Kansas across Missouri and downstream into Northern Illinois. As such, incidents of flash flooding and river flooding are likely across the areas of concern but will be reducing in areal coverage and magnitude into Friday, becoming more limited to Texas, Lower Mississippi/Ohio River Valleys and the central Gulf coastal states. The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction Center at 900 PM MDT. Please refer to your local National Weather Service office for additional information on this event. Gallina $$

At the surface, a stationary front is analyzed from the southern Plains extending to the northern Plains. In addition, a warm front was analyze extending from southwest Kansas into northeastern Oklahoma and a cold front moving east extending from southwest Kansas to West Texas. Dew points ahead of the cold front are well into the mid 60s to low 70s, providing ample moisture for heavy rainfall for flash flooding. NWS radar shows a large swath of moderate to heavy lines of thunderstorms developing across the Southern and Central Plains. Stratiform rainfall with embedded isolated thunderstorms are also occurring over northeastern Nebraska, Iowa, and Eastern Colorado. ...Selected preliminary Storm Total Rainfall in inches from 600 AM MDT Sun Sep 27 through 900 PM MDT Wed Sep 30... ...ARIZONA...

Flooding impacts will be amplified where storm training occurs. Closer to the surface low, a broad stratiform precipitation shield may bring a couple of inches of rain across eastern Colorado and New Mexico where saturated grounds from previous rainfall could increase water runoff and flooding. Lastly, the surface low lifting northwards towards will transport anomalously moist environment where heavy downpours are likely. Rainfall accumulations of 2-6 inches with isolated higher amounts are possible across much of Texas where storms training occurs. Tomorrow, a Moderate Risk of Excessive Rainfall continues for parts of the Central and Southern Plains, but the greatest flash flood risk will remain across Texas and southern Oklahoma where the front stalls and interacts with the highest instability.

Flooding impacts will be exacerbated where storm training occurs. Closer to the upper-level low and forming surface low, a broad precipitation shield may bring a couple of inches of rain to the Sangre de Cristo and San Juan mountain ranges of Colorado and New Mexico where wet antecedent conditions could enhance water runoff and flooding. Lastly, the surface low lifting northwards towards the Central Plains will advect an anomalously moist environment towards northern Kansas, southern Nebraska, and western Iowa. Rainfall accumulations of 2-4 inches with isolated streaks of 4-6 inches are possible where the storms train.This will bring flash flooding concerns, as well as creek and stream flooding. Tomorrow, a Slight Risk of Excessive Rainfall continues along the intersection of the front and surface low in the Central Plains and Midwest, but the greatest flash flood risk will remain across Texas and southern Oklahoma where the front stalls and interacts with the highest instability.

BRYCE CANYON AIRPORT 1.58 Flash flooding, some of which could be significant, is likely overnight across much of Arizona, New Mexico, western Texas, southern Utah, and southern Colorado. Tropical moisture streaming ahead of the remnants of Polo, combined with an amplified upper-level trough, will support numerous rounds of showers and thunderstorms capable of producing heavy rainfall. The remnants of Polo is forecast to move northward towards New Mexico and West Texas overnight. This will bring another surge of tropical moisture and intense rainfall rates capable of producing locally significant flash flooding, particularly over sensitive terrain such as burn scars and arroyos. Tomorrow, the remnants of Polo is forecast to be absorbed into a forming surface low over the Plains. Thunderstorms will then initiate in the Plains and bring a risk of flash flooding and riverine flooding. West Texas into Oklahoma have a targeted Moderate Risk of excessive rainfall as a result of greater potential for training storms with embedded intense rainfall rates. Additionally, northern New Mexico and southern Colorado may see a greater likelihood of flash flooding near the comma-head of the forming mid-latitude cyclone. The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction Center at 900 AM MDT. Please refer to your local National Weather Service office for additional information on this event.
