Weather Alert

.Showers and storms have produced 2 to 5 inches of rainfall across
most of the Quad State since Wednesday. A few isolated zones have

8 inches of rainfall forecast through Sunday will result in a

Kentucky, and southeast Missouri.

and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams
may rise out of their banks. Low-water crossings may be flooded.
Extensive street flooding may develop. Flooding may occur in homes,
businesses and other locations not normally subject to flooding.
Roadways may wash away near creeks and culverts.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

will result in extreme forecast amounts of over 1 foot of

to rise markedly and create a particularly dangerous flooding
situation.
