Heavy rainfall is possible Friday for portions of the Central and Southern Plains.

An upper level trough will continue progressing eastward into the Central United States on Friday. A surface low pressure area and cold front will also move into the Great Plains. A fairly long corridor of showers and thunderstorms are forecast to develop from the Great Lakes region southwestward into the Central Plains then southward through Texas. Conditions are not currently expected to be favorable for widespread severe storms, however due to the already overly-saturated conditions in the Plains, areas of flooding and flash flooding are forecast with rainfall amounts between 1-2+ inches.
