An active storm track across the southern U.S. during the next 5 days could result in rainfall totals of 2 to 5 inches or more across the southern Plains and interior South. Locally severe thunderstorms will accompany the Southern rainfall.
Meanwhile, a rapidly evolving situation across the northern Plains and Northwest will include the arrival of sharply colder weather and the possibility of significant snowfall, starting Friday and lasting into the weekend. Accumulating snow may also fall later Friday in Nebraska and portions of neighboring states.
