Rounds of heavy rain into mid-April may boost flood risk in central US

While some areas of the central United States will receive a reasonable amount of rain into mid-April, there is the potential for too much rain to pour down and trigger flooding., the risk of repeating rainfall and flooding problems will develop over the middle of the United States in the days ahead as large storm systems move slowly through the region and repeat,

Thunderstorms will erupt and repeat near the warmer air in this zone while steadier rain falls just to the north of the thunderstorms. As each pulse rolls eastward, the ground will become increasingly wet. Once saturated, the risk of flash flooding of small streams will increase. "Following the barrage of heavy rain and severe weather into Tuesday, a break of dry weather is in store for several days during the middle and latter part of next week," AccuWeather Long-Range Meteorologist Brandon Buckingham stated.As more storms roll across the western U.S. and re-emerge over the Plains, the moistening process will resume in the form of more drenching downpours and severe thunderstorms, AccuWeather Chief On-Air Meteorologist Bernie Rayno said.
