Flash Flooding Threat

Rescheduled Jefferson City Storm Spotter Training

When severe weather strikes, it's too late to prepare. Following a few simple steps can save precious time when it's time to act!

A strong cold front will lead to the development of severe thunderstorms over northwest Missouri this afternoon. These storms will track southeast into the area this evening into late tonight. Thunderstorms will weaken, but exactly where and how soon remains uncertain. Check weather frequently to ensure you catch the latest updates and have multiple ways to receive warning information.

Flash flooding is possible late this evening into the overnight hours for the areas under a Flood Watch. Rainfall amounts up to 3 inches may fall in this area leading to localized flooding of streams, creeks, rivers, and other low-lying flood-prone locations. Never attempt driving into flooded roadways and seek higher ground if necessary.

Update: The Storm Spotter Training session that was cancelled on April 15 has been rescheduled for April 21. See the graphic for details!
