Full Notification

Additional showers and thunderstorms are expected over southeast Missouri into this evening. These thunderstorms will be capable of producing locally heavy rainfall in a short period of time that could produce flash flooding.

Heavy rainfall will result in flooding of low lying or poor drainage areas...and ultimately dangerous flash flooding on smaller creeks and streams. Significant rises on larger streams and rivers will also be possible.

Instructions:

A Flash Flood Watch is advanced notice that conditions are favorable that may lead to flash flooding. People in the Watch area, especially in flood prone areas, should use this time to make preparations just in case. Stay informed, and be ready for quick action if flooding is observed or if a Flash Flood Warning is issued.
