Two periods of concern will be late Tuesday through Wednesday, then again late in the week into next weekend. Several inches of rainfall are forecast, with the early week bulls-eye right now aimed at portions of southeast Missouri and southern Illinois. The anticipated heavy rainfall will be spread out over several days, including heavy rain shifting toward western Kentucky later.
This kind of scenario favors flooding of low land, poor drainage areas. It should also cause rises on area rivers and their tributaries and exacerbate ongoing river flooding along the Ohio and Green Rivers.
Stay up to date on the latest forecasts in the coming days for additional updates and forecasts.
