... Flood Watch remains in effect until noon CST today...
The Flood Watch continues for
* portions of central Missouri... east central Missouri and
northeast Missouri... including the following counties... in
central Missouri... Audrain... Boone... Callaway... Cole...
Moniteau and Osage. In east central Missouri... Crawford...
Franklin... Gasconade... Montgomery and Warren. In northeast
Missouri... Monroe.
* Until noon CST today
* periods of moderate to heavy rainfall will continue this
morning. The heavy rainfall threat should diminish this
afternoon as drier air works into the storm system which is
causing the precipitation.
* Expect gradual rises up to and exceeding flood stage on area
streams and rivers through the period. Localized heavy rain
could cause smaller streams and creeks to respond more rapidly
than larger rivers.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A Flood Watch means that flooding is possible but not imminent in
the watch area. People in the watch area are urged to check on
preparedness requirements... especially if you have interests
along area rivers. Stay informed... and be ready for action if
flooding is observed or if a Flood Warning is issued.
