More rain expected this week...

Many areas saw their rivers crest this past weekend, as flooding continued to threaten Mid-Missouri's residents. Though it looks like most of the extremely cold air will move out of the region after tonight, the threat of more shower activity remains as Wednesday approaches.

It looks like the jet stream will move over the Missouri area, meaning that, low pressures that develop will track across this path dumping rain that they tap into from the Gulf Of Mexico. As of right now it looks like Wednesday evening is when more rain is expected to move in. This rain threat will continue through Friday.

With many rivers and streams above or at flood stage, this could make things more problematic. Floods remain the number 1 killer of severe weather, so remember NEVER attempt to drive through flooded roadways.

In the meantime enjoy Monday and Tuesday, temperatures will be more seasonal with highs near 60.
