Severe Storms and Flooding - May 9th, 2016

Overview

Showers and thunderstorms which occurred across the area during the morning into the afternoon hours of May 9th, 2016, helped to stablize the atmosphere ahead of upper level energy which moved into the region during the afternoon and nighttime hours. This stabilization helped to limit the amount of severe storms across the area. Areas of south central Missouri saw the highest amounts of rainfall, where two to three and a half inches of rain occurred. This led to some areas of flooding.
