.Synopsis...
Daily rainfall possible in the Southeast and Northern Plains... Isolated
river flooding continues in Iowa... Isolated flooding potential through day
2 (Sun) in the South into Central Plains...

.Southeast...
Daily rainfall is expected through day 6 (Thu) as a frontal boundary slowly
moves southward. Most flooding impacts may be mitigated due to sandy and
generally dry soils initially. Soil moisture conditions will
increasethrough the event, allowing flooding impacts to be possible,
especially in urban areas.

.Northern Plains...
Multiple days of showers and thunderstorms over the region through day 7
(Fri) will bring the potential for localized flash and urban flooding. In
general, daily rainfall will be less than 2". Even with low daily rainfall
accumulation, spread out over multiple days, it will increase the potential
for more widespread impact and the potential for small stream flooding.

.South into Central Plains...
Precipitation today in the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandle and on day 2  (Sun)
in western Oklahoma into Kansas may bring the potential for flash and urban
flooding to the regions. In general, these areas are dry with soil moisture
between 25 and 50% ( 0 - 10 cm, NASA SPoRT). This will initially help to
mitigate flooding impacts. However, given the slow motion of storms and
high potential for heavy rainfall rates, flash and urban flooding will
still be possible.

.Iowa...
Isolated moderate to major river flooding from recent rainfall will persist
through early next week across east-central Iowa on portions of the Iowa
and Wapsipincion Rivers as water routes downstream.
