These conditions may evolve over the next day or so. We can expect rainfall amounts up to 2" this weekend with heavy rainfall at times.

While this rain will help ease some of the ongoing drought conditions, it won’t fully cover the rainfall deficits we've been experiencing.

Another severe weather event gears up next Tuesday for the Great Plains.
