00:00Multiple days of severe weather are about to hammer the plains with an especially stormy stretch from this weekend into
00:07next week.
00:08The bullseye is the central U.S. where powerful storms will fire with damaging winds, hail, and some downpours.
00:16Those will be the main threats.
00:18Now, here's where it begins.
00:20Look at that spin off the West Coast.
00:22You see that upper level O?
00:24That's going to come eastward slowly over the next couple of days.
00:27And by the weekend, it'll push across the southwest states.
00:31What that is going to do is that energy will be coming into the plains states, and that will be
00:36the trigger for the showers and the thunderstorms.
00:40There's our threat as we go into Saturday.
00:42And you'll notice a pretty large area from the Big Bend of Texas all the way into the central plains
00:47states.
00:48Damaging winds, large hail, and certainly some downpours.
00:51Now, as we head into Sunday, note it shifts a little farther to the east, but some of the same
00:57areas are going to be impacted here, especially across western and central Texas.
01:03This is going to be a stormy stretch.
01:05Take a look at this.
01:06This is the rainfall over the next seven days.
01:09So, from Wednesday to Wednesday of next week, you start seeing that darker area of rain across the upper Midwest.
01:17That means there's going to be some flooding.
01:19However, it's an area that's parched.
01:22The latest drought monitor is showing you a lot of dry ground, especially in the southern plains in Texas.
01:27This won't end the drought, but it will certainly help it.
