From DTN:

FLOODING CONCERNS IN SOUTHEAST U.S.

Meanwhile, the southeastern U.S. has been dealing with heavy rainfall and thunderstorms leading to concerns about flooding. Some of the areas with flood warnings included parts of Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky. (To see the rain totals from 8 a.m. Dec. 23 through to 8 a.m. Dec. 26, see http://1.usa.gov/…)

"Locations across the Tennessee valley and southeast will see a lull in precipitation through the weekend; meanwhile colder air moving southward from Canada into the Central Plains will meet with an advancing upper level storm system moving east from the southwest U.S. This will set the stage for heavy rain to develop from northeast Texas, through eastern Oklahoma into Missouri," said the NWS Saturday morning. The service said this is "where it will expand and persist in the same vicinity over the next couple of days."

The forecast is for rainfall to total 5 to 10 inches, with a maximum of well over a foot possible, leading to serious flash flooding concerns there.

WINTER STORM IN UPPER MIDWEST

The High Plains into the upper Midwest has also been seeing winter storm advisories and warnings Christmas Day and Saturday. The storm dropped 6 to 10 inches of snow already in some places in South Dakota as the storm began to dissipate there and move east by early Saturday afternoon. "The heaviest swath is anticipated to occur from southern Minnesota to northern Michigan where accumulations will range from 10 to 15-plus inches," said NWS.

Increasing winds Saturday were expected to blow snow and lower visibility even in areas where the snowfall has diminished, leading to hazardous conditions for transportation.

At least 11 Killed as String of Tornadoes Hit Texas

Reuters

10 hrs ago

At least 11 people were killed in the Dallas area from a storm system packing torrential rains and unleashing a string of tornadoes that toppled homes, cut power lines and snarled transport for people returning from the Christmas holidays.

The worst-hit area was in Garland, northeast of Dallas, where eight people were killed, cars blown off highways and homes flattened, officials said on Sunday.

Three other deaths were reported in the Dallas metro area, the nation's fourth most populous, with about 7 million people.

"It is total devastation," said Garland Police spokesman Lieutenant Pedro Barineau said. "It is a very difficult time to be struck by such a horrible storm the day after Christmas."

Five of the deaths in Garland were believed to have been related to vehicles having been struck by a tornado near State Highway 190 and Interstate 30.

More than 600 structures in North Texas suffered damage from the tornadoes and storms, officials said.

Six tornadoes were reported in Texas and one in Oklahoma on Saturday, the National Weather Service said.

The service has issued severe weather warning for large parts of the central United States on Sunday that include a blizzard warning for parts of New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas and a flash flood watch stretching from Texas to Ohio.

As of 8 a.m. Central Time on Sunday, there were about 400 flights canceled in the United States, according to tracking service FlightAware.com, with more than half being in Dallas, a major U.S. flight hub.

The weekend tornadoes follow a series that hit just before the Christmas holiday, mostly in the U.S. South, and leaving at least 17 dead

Christmastime storms, tornadoes kill at least 43 in U.S.
DALLAS | BY LISA MARIA GARZA
Storms hit the U.S. South, Southwest and Midwest over the Christmas holiday weekend, unleashing floods and tornadoes that killed at least 43 people, flattened buildings and snarled transportation for millions during a busy travel time.

The bad weather, or the threat of it, prompted the governors of Missouri and New Mexico to declare a state of emergency for their states.

Flash floods killed at least 13 people in Missouri and Illinois.

In Missouri, emergency workers have evacuated residents from their homes and conducted dozens of water rescues, Governor Jay Nixon said on Sunday. He said at least eight people had been killed and numerous roadways had been closed.

Nixon declared a state of emergency, saying continued rains would make already widespread flooding conditions worse.

Three adults and two children were near the village of Patoka, Illinois, 85 miles (137 km) east of St. Louis, Missouri, when their car was washed away by floodwaters on Saturday night, according to Marion County Coroner Troy Cannon.

In Texas, at least 11 people were killed in the Dallas area over the weekend by tornadoes, including one packing winds of up to 200 miles per hour (322 km per hour). The twister hit the city of Garland, killing eight people and blowing vehicles off highways.

"It is total devastation," Garland Police spokesman Lieutenant Pedro Barineau said. "It is a very difficult time to be struck by such a horrible storm the day after Christmas."

Three other deaths were reported in the Dallas metropolitan area, the United States' fourth most populous with about 7 million residents. Scores of people were injured in the region and officials estimated some 800 homes may have been damaged.

Powerful tornadoes are a staple of spring and summer in central states but occur less frequently in winter, according to U.S. weather data

Three tornadoes were reported in Arkansas on Sunday, the weather service said, but there were no initial reports of significant injuries or damage.

The service has issued tornado watches and warnings for areas in that state, as well as in parts of Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Mississippi.

A tornado watch means a storm is likely, while a warning means a storm or storms have been sighted.

The storms came on the heels of tornadoes that hit two days before Christmas, killing at least 18 people, including 10 in Mississippi.

In Texas, Governor Greg Abbott said his office had declared Dallas County and three nearby counties disaster areas. He also warned people to be wary of snow in western parts of the state and rivers spilling their banks in other places.

The National Weather Service issued severe weather advisories for large parts of the central United States, including a blizzard warning for parts of New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma and a flash flood watch stretching from Texas to Indiana.

New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez declared a state of emergency for the entire state due to a winter storm that had dumped up to two feet of snow by Sunday night.

The New Mexico city of Roswell bested its one-day snowfall record, receiving 12.3 inches by Sunday evening, the Weather Service said.

The bad weather forced the cancellation of nearly 1,500 flights in the nation on Sunday, according to tracking service FlightAware.com. About half of the canceled flights were in Dallas, a major U.S. flight hub.

[furrowtickler]

Sooner or later North American weather was going to pile up - winter always shows up - the later it does the harder it comes in generally .
A lot of areas went from the mid70's to freezing in under 12 hrs . That causes a shit show for sure.

[wmoebis]

Will this weather have any impact on our wheat markets?

[furrowtickler]

There might be a little winter kill , and flooded issues in winter wheat but nothing ever seems to hurt that crop this time of year.
It was warm enough to be out of dormancy but who knows .
Market will react to the moisture as positive at the end of the day .
