Rounds of rain have been rolling through the Plains and Midwest, leading to saturated soils. This has lead to a more significant flood potential into the early morning hours Saturday, before rain chances drop quickly through the rest of the weekend. A level 3 out of 4 risk (top of page) for flash flooding is in effect through early Saturday morning.

In addition to flooding, scattered damaging winds and hail are possible from thunderstorms in the Front Range of Colorado and near the low-pressure system from Oklahoma into Missouri.

The low could help create enough turning motion to spur an isolated tornado.

Forecast

Storms will continue to rumble across the Kansas City area after midnight, with conditions settling down by daybreak.

Additional rainfall of 2-4 inches will be possible, particularly in stronger storms.
