478 AGUS74 KWCO 021511 HMDNWC National Hydrologic Discussion - EXPERIMENTAL NWS National Water Center - Tuscaloosa AL 1015 AM CDT SAT AUG 2 2025 .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. //GKendrick $$
