Rain Chances Begin to Return

Forecast Rainfall Totals

Rain chances begin to return to the area late tonight, and continue through the end of the work week. The best widespread chances for rainfall will move in from the S/SW Thursday night and into Friday. Total rainfall amounts through Friday are likely to be modest, ranging from around a quarter to half inch near the Iowa-Missouri border to an inch or greater south of I-70. Not quite a drought buster, but certainly better than the scant rain chances we've had lately.

Rain chances increase tonight and persist through Friday evening. Highest rainfall accumulations will fall over central Missouri, south of I-70. No widespread flooding is expected but we could see localized pockets up to 2 inches.
