A developing spring storm will affect he Plains this weekend. This storm system will be quite a slow-mover because a strong high pressure area over the Northeast will be blocking its progress. Moisture will flow northward from the Gulf of Mexico, allowing for copious amounts of rainfall. The heaviest rain will likely fall across eastern Kansas and western Missouri, where over 2 inches of rainfall is possible. Flash flooding could become a problem across the central Plains, thanks to this heavy rainfall. In addition, this storm system will spark dangerous thunderstorms across Texas and Louisiana with the potential for strong winds, large hail and tornadoes.
