Weather Update: A soggy April-Like Afternoon

Two areas of showers, essentially remnants of a large thunderstorm complex which affected Kansas last night, have persisted across western Missouri this afternoon. We do not anticipate this activity to dissipate any time soon, especially from northern portions of Kansas City to the Iowa border where showers could be heavy at times. The second cluster of showers south and east of Kansas City may move slowly eastward. Temperatures will be held in the middle 60s where rain is falling, and only reach the lower 70s from Kirksville to Columbia. Some localized areas received over an inch of rain in thunderstorms this morning. How much rain has your location received today?

FREE FISHING DAYS IN MISSOURI

With the start of June also comes Free Fishing Days. Free Fishing Days
are June 8^th and 9^th. These are the days when the Conservation Department suspends resident and nonresident fishing permit requirements. Special permits may be required at county, city, and private fishing areas.

The idea behind this event is to encourage people to explore the state’s fishing opportunities without having to purchase permits or daily tags at trout parks. The Conservation Department provides more than 900 fishing lakes, ponds, and stream accesses. Many offer disabled-accessible facitlites. For more information about places to fish, visit mdc.mo.gov/node/2478 or contact nearest MDC office.  

During Free Fishing Days other fish regulations besides permit requirements are still in effect. These regulations include limits on size and number of fish. Regulations are outlined in the 2012 Summary of Missouri Fishing Regulations, which is available where fishing permits are sold or online at mdc.mo.gov/node/6108.
