Persistent southerly flow off of the Gulf of Mexico has begun which will slowly bring up the humidity levels into this weekend and early next week. This coupled with a slowly-moving upper air pattern with embedded disturbances will lead to several rounds of rain.In the Ozarks, the first batch will arrive Monday. The map above is a 48 hour rain total forecast which runs from 7 am Sunday to 7 am Tuesday. If this pans out, a large chunk of the Ozarks will see 2-3" totals with more in the extreme western and southwestern portion of Missouri.
Note that another round of rain may occur mid-week with the potential for even more rainfall.
