some flooding of roads and low lying areas was still
occurring across the warned area due to heavy rain earlier in

County roads. Rain will continue most of the night with another
1 to 2 inches possible... which will aggravate existing conditions.

swiftly flowing water to carry vehicles away.

... Flood Watch remains in effect through Monday morning...

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.

* Through Monday morning

* periods of moderate to heavy rainfall will continue to affect
the region tonight through Monday morning. The heavy rainfall threat
should diminish on Monday 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.
