, flash flooding expected late tonight into tuesday,
.an unusually moist and warm airmass will interact with an intense
Storm system late tonight into tuesday. This will likely lead
To several rounds of showers and thunderstorms tracking across
Most of southern missouri. Due to the positioning of the front,
Strength of the upper level storm system, and high moisture
Levels transporting north from the gulf, the flash flood
Potential across southern and central missouri appears to be
Elevated.

Weather disturbances will be interacting with this
Moisture, setting the stage for several rounds of thunderstorms
With heavy rain. The first round of thunderstorms is expected to
Form this evening over central missouri and southwest
Illinois, then push into eastern missouri and southern
Illinois. There should then be a break in the heavy rainfall
Late tonight and early tuesday, however by tuesday afternoon
Widespread thunderstorms will produce another round of heavy
Rain over parts of the watch area. The heaviest rainfalls are
Forecast to occur with this second round of storms.
* the snowfall of last thursday and thursday night has saturated
The ground across most of the region, so it will take very
Little heavy rain to produce a flash flooding threat.
A flash flood watch means that flash flooding is possible but not
Imminent in the watch area. People in the watch area should be
Aware of the possibility of heavy rainfall and flash flooding.
Check your preparedness requirements, especially if you live in
Flood prone areas. Stay informed, and be ready for quick action
If flooding is observed or if a flash flood warning is issued.
