.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday

Tuesday will have several impacts expected as the remnants of
Tropical Storm Cristobal move through the region. The track of this
system is expected to go just east of our area, but the heaviest rain
is expected on the western side over central Missouri. Moderate to
heavy rainfall will start up around midnight, lasting through the
late afternoon. A swath of 2 to 4 inches is expected along and east
of HWY 65 with some isolated areas receiving greater than 4 inches.
A flash flood watch has been issued for this area with rivers and
creeks likely to see rapid rises Tuesday morning. An isolated tornado
or two is not out of the question with this type of system, so
people will need to be prepared to take shelter quickly early Tuesday
morning. Another round of strong to severe storms are possible over
NE Kansas and NW Missouri for a few hours Tuesday afternoon with all
modes of severe weather possible. No hazards are expected from
Wednesday through the end of the period.
