Flash Flood Watch

A flash flood watch has just issued for tonight and early Thursday for a portion of the viewing area. The watch is in effect for folks living north of a line from around Neosho to Eminence, Missouri.

Portions of Hickory, St. Clair, Benton, Polk, Camden and Dallas Counties have received pretty heavy rains the past two Mondays and would be the most prone to flash flooding.

The good news is this front will make a clean sweep of the area by Thursday afternoon and set us up for a fantastic Friday through Sunday!
