Heavy Rains from the Plains to the East; Fire Weather Risk in the Desert Southwest

Thunderstorms, some severe, may produce heavy to excessive rainfall and isolated flooding over portions of the Southern Plains through Saturday.

High pressure will start building in overnight and cause clouds to decrease. This decrease in cloud cover, along with the colder air from yesterday's cold front, will cause temperatures to drop below freezing tonight.

The weather looks fairly benign through much of the week with the next chance for any significant precipitation on Thursday.
