Showers and thunderstorms will extend from the central Plains to the eastern Midwest Friday. Rain will be locally heavy in the eastern Midwest with a threat of flash flooding. Other crop areas will be dry. The rain area expands through the remainder of the Midwest and into the Northern Plains Friday night and Saturday, with moderate to locally heavy totals.
