Good Monday afternoon!
A look at the latest radar as of 3:05 PM CT shows that the most widespread areas of rain have worked into Illinois and Indiana, leaving scattered showers and storms for SE MO. Just N of St. Louis is the one area still seeing decent coverage of more widespread rains:
We are expecting to see the scattered rain chances continue this evening and most of the day tomorrow as the actual center of the low is still located in NW Arkansas. The center of low pressure will continue to work its way further N and E overnight and into your Tuesday. Current thought is that the heaviest amounts and most widespread coverage of rain/storms would happen in the early afternoon hours. Below is a simulated radar from 7 AM CT Tue until 7 PM CT:
High temperatures again tomorrow will be highly influenced by Barry for the SE half of MO. Highs tomorrow in the SE corner of the state should hover right around 80 while we will be looking at high temps closer to 90 as you move further N and W:
A look at rainfall guidance out until 7 PM Tuesday evening. Our trend of SE MO being most influenced by Barry continues, however we do think the MO/IL border is where we are going to see the highest totals for the next 36 hours. We do think some of these values may be a touch overdone, but our thought is that the areas of heaviest rains and most persistent coverage will be from St. Louis to just west of Poplar Bluff and points E. Scattered showers can be expected anywhere to the E of that:
