.UPDATE...
FORECAST ON TRACK WITH SERIOUS AND LIFE THREATENING FLOODING

MISSOURI AND INTERSTATE-70 IN ILLINOIS. I EXPECT MOST

LYING AREAS IN THIS AREA...IF THEY HAVE NOT BEGAN TO ALREADY.
NEWEST MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES AN ADDITIONAL 3 TO 6 INCHES OF
RAINFALL IS EXPECTED TO FALL ACROSS THIS SAME AREA OVER THE NEXT
24 HOURS. THAT WOULD MEAN PLACES LIKE ELLINGTON...IN REYNOLDS
COUNTY...COULD SEE UP TO ONE FOOT OF RAINFALL WHEN ALL IS SAID AND
DONE TOMORROW AFTERNOON. AS OF 11:00 AM OUR COOPERATIVE OBSERVER IN
ELLINGTON HAD ALREADY RECEIVED 6 INCHES OF RAINFALL SINCE
YESTERDAY MORNING
AGAIN THIS IS A SERIOUS AND LIFE THREATENING SITUATION THAT IS
JUST BEGINNING TO UNFOLD. EMERGENCY MANAGERS...LOCAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS AND THE MEDIA SHOULD CONTINUE TO STAY IN
CLOSE CONTACT WITH AND UPDATE THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AS THIS
