Widespread Showers/Isolated Storm over NE Missouri

Heavy Rainfall Possible Today

Isolated Severe Storms Possible This PM

725 AM Radar Update: widespread showers continues to expand eastward, and an isolated thunderstorm is moving through northeastern Missouri this morning, which could be capable of damaging winds, locally heavy rainfall, and frequent lightning. If you’re in this area, be prepared to seek shelter. When thunder roars, head indoors!

Heavy rainfall will be possible today as two main rounds of showers and storms bring the potential for heavy downpours, perhaps leading to flash flooding. Due to this potential, a Flood Watch has been issued for the southern portions of the area, where 1-3” of additional rainfall is possible.

Isolated strong to severe storms are possible this afternoon and evening along and south of Highway 30 north of the Quad Cities. This risk is conditional on morning showers and storms clearing out by mid- to late-morning. Locally strong winds will be the main threat with these storms, with small hail and an isolated tornado being secondary threats. Have multiple ways to receive warning information, and seek shelter if you hear thunder!
