3:40pm Monday Update on Flood Threat
Excessive rainfall is still forecast over much of the central United States. Here is the 7-day forecast of rainfall amounts, with amber signaling 7+ inch amounts. With regard to the band of rain from Des Moines to Albuquerque, it may be a bit too far north or it may need to be widened to make a more accurate forecast. Here is the flooding forecast for the next 7-days. The pale blue will see flooding but it will not be as widespread. The deep blue is where widespread, serious flooding is forecast. If you live in the blue area and your residence is in a low or flood-prone area, I would have a go-kid ready in case of emergency evacuation orders. The second round of rain from Hurricane Polo is now in progress as the storm reaches the Mexico coast. This is the radar from 3:30pm CDT. The rain will become more widespread the next 3 days.
