Transcript

00:00We do have some severe thunderstorms mainly to the south. Now one thing to note yesterday we had

00:05some flash flooding issues these storms are moving better quicker than the storms yesterday so that's

00:10good news but we do have severe thunderstorms into parts of Missouri but the area we're really

00:16watching is this area Colorado, New Mexico, the panhandles of Texas, Oklahoma, even into Kansas

00:21where we've had several severe thunderstorms throughout the evening and that's also

00:24where we have a severe thunderstorm watch that's out until 10 p.m central time here 11 p.m mountain time

00:32we're kind of at either side of the time zone here we were in that yesterday in Nebraska as well

00:39now quick jump back to yesterday I mentioned how the storms were just so slow moving yesterday

00:44especially into where we have our top rainfall total from last 24 hours McCook, Nebraska

00:49an area of red on the radar so heavy downpours was just parked there really for hours so certainly

00:55that six inches is not surprising for the rainfall total there that's really the center where we saw

01:00the worst of the rainfall it's a little bit further to the east today east and north the center of our

01:05low pressure system a little farther to the north but still kind of centered over Nebraska which

01:09continues into tomorrow because what's happened is we have our uh front that has kind of stalled

01:16out over uh the central U.S. right and it's going to start to move again tomorrow take a look at future

01:24radar and kind of how this plays out still some heavy downpours here so especially some of these

01:29areas that have had several inches of rain over the last couple of days you could see some more

01:34ponding could see some more flash flooding very scattered in nature though to the north of course areas

01:40from Kansas City down south of Wichita north of Oklahoma City at 3 p.m tomorrow things are looking a

01:45little bit more widespread we continue to move through time here on future radar and things

01:49slowly but surely move their way further to the east into more the Great Lakes region Fargo Minneapolis

01:54your season downpours Friday afternoon we're at 2 p.m on future radar now as we continue to play this out

02:01we get more into the Ohio Valley somewhere like Chicago you start to see some rain and thunderstorms

02:05by the time we get into the early morning hours of Saturday now let's talk temperatures because we have

02:11really a stark divide from Detroit you're trending well above your historical average in the mid 70s

02:16you're in the upper 80s tomorrow whereas Rapid City well you're actually seeing temperatures lower

02:21than your historical average by about six degrees with that high of 70 for Thursday that cold front

02:26certainly uh going to be doing its job as it moves its way to the east here's our footprint for Friday

02:32still some of us seeing the rain and the thunderstorm as this slowly but surely moves its way to the east

02:38somewhere like Minneapolis well we stay in the 70s the next several days but by contrast somewhere
