INCHES OF RAIN EXPECTED


1-2" of rain, with areas receiving locally around 3" is possible on Monday. The heaviest rain is expected to fall along and to the southeast of I-44.
The precipitation forecast from this morning until Wednesday morning shows a large area receiving 2" of rain. Southern Missouri and Arkansas could receive 3-4" when all is said and done.

If you live near a low water crossing or river be prepared for flash flooding and eventually river flooding.

Remember to never try to cross a roadway that has water moving across it. It doesn't take much water to move a vehicle! Even if you have a truck, you are powerlessness to the force of water. Flash floods cause more deaths than any other type of weather in the U.S.
