9-6-18 Missouri Update: Heavy rain/flood potential Friday into Saturday….latest data here! N.

Video:

In the near term, we watch Friday morning for a band of heavy rain to set-up over the north-central/east portions of the state, where we have a “moderate” risk of excessive rainfall in the red, and slight in the yellow.

More widespread rains/flood concerns will work into the state Friday.  Expecting a focus of heavier showers across north-central portions of the state to develop Friday morning, with the band lingering there for much of the day.  As the remnants of “Gordon” start to work north Friday afternoon/night rain expands central and south, with the focus of heavy rain Friday night shifting to the southeast 2/3rds of the state where the “center” of Gordon tracks through.  

Rainfall through 7pm tomorrow:

Latest rainfall guidance through Saturday night:

Expect improving weather Saturday as the heaviest rain shifts east to Illinois and drier weather works in.
