NWS Forecast Issued June 2 The very active Spring 2025 weather pattern will continue over the next few days with widespread regions of heavy rains and severe weather threats across the Southern to Central Plains into the Lower Missouri and Middle Mississippi Valley regions. Showers and thunderstorms that have been active over the Southwest over the past 24 hours will begin to shift farther northeastward late Monday afternoon/Monday night across the Southern to Central High Plains.

A widespread area of heavy rain, flooding and severe weather is possible across these areas from late this afternoon into the overnight hours of Monday/early Tuesday. High winds and large hail will be the greatest severe weather threat here, with a lesser threat of tornadoes. This heavy rain, flooding and severe weather threat will then shift eastward during the day on Tuesday, into Tuesday night, early hours of Wednesday from the Middle Mississippi Valley, southwest into the Lower Missouri Valley and eastern portions of the Central and Southern Plains. Similar to the first round of active thunderstorms Monday night, the second round will have the potential to produce severe weather with large hail and high winds the greatest threat, with a lesser threat from tornadoes.

The first round of heavy rains will bring some relief to the ongoing moderate to severe drought conditions across western to central Kansas, much of Nebraska, far northwest Missouri and far western Iowa. The second round of heavy rains will be falling across areas that have received much above average precip over the past month. This will be leading to a greatest threat of flooding from north Texas, across central to astern Oklahoma, eastern Kansas, and Missouri where soils are more saturated from recent heavy rains.
