Many areas north and west of St. Louis received more than 5 inches of rain, with isolated spots recording over 6 inches!

Numerous flash flood warnings were posted across our area last Thursday, and as of the time of this posting, some local rivers are still a bit above flood stage. With more rain on the way this week, we'll have to keep an eye on those river levels.
