Soggy Weather Pattern Continues...

Many locations south of the Missouri River received 1”-2” of rain last night, and isolated areas picked up 3”-5”+ with localized flooding. 

Unfortunately, scattered thunderstorms will remain in the forecast today. Although heavy rain and localized flooding will be the main threat, cannot rule out the possibility of wind gusts up to 60 mph and small hail. For the weekend, expect more rain in the form of scattered afternoon thunderstorms.
