For the entire length of the eastern Plains and into the western Corn Belt, the period since yesterday morning is clearly one where either you got “nailed” with rain, or you got nothing. Eastern South Dakota through southwestern Minnesota, southeastern Nebraska through northwestern Missouri, southwestern Missouri, and areas along the Texas/Oklahoma border are all places that have seen heavy amounts of rain in that period. Hardest hit was southwestern parts of Missouri, where radar is estimating a large area where over three inches of rain fell and suggesting localized rains in excess of six inches (I can confirm over four inches at Springfield); much of that area was under a flood warning early on this Thursday. Rains were just as intense for the other areas that I mention (a handful of counties in South Dakota, Minnesota, and Nebraska were under flash flood warnings early today) but coverage of that rain was not nearly as big. Things should start to calm down once we get past daybreak today, and once we get to that time the very heaviest of the rains will be behind us. Far southeastern parts of the Corn Belt, the Delta and especially the Southeast are still expected to get very little rain before all chances come to an end later tomorrow. Expect largely dry weather for the Labor Day holiday weekend, but it is going to get wet again for middle and latter parts of next week. Like our current system, favored areas for rain for next week will be the length of the eastern Plains and also the central/western Corn Belt; especially in the Corn Belt we could see some pretty big totals for the period of September 7-11. Not much may fall further east and south again for that time frame, so crop drydown and harvesting in those areas should be very rapid for the foreseeable future. Abnormally cool weather will dominate the Nation’s midsection for tomorrow to Sunday, but it will be warmer for Monday and continues to look quite warm for Tuesday through the end of the two week forecast (and probably longer than that); September 9-10 may be the very warmest days for the period in question.
