.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 123 PM CDT Wed Sep 30 2026

Southerly flow will increase Thursday into Friday as an upper
trough moves into the southern plains. This will induce a sfc low
to develop across the plains states and move northeast. A trailing
frontal boundary will move slowly southeast. Meanwhile, sfc high
pressure will build off the southeast coast. Deep southerly flow
will bring Gulf moisture surging back into the region Friday
through the weekend. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are
expected on Thursday becoming numerous to widespread on Friday.
The wet pattern continues through the weekend as precipitable
water values climb to 2.3 inches. Deep, warm rain processes will
enable locally heavy rain at times.

While the timing and placement of the heaviest rain remains
uncertain, localized flash flooding would become a risk where
storms train repeatedly, particularly in urban and poor-drainage
areas. WPC has outlooked much of the area in a slight risk of
excessive rainfall both Saturday and Sunday. /13
