Several waves of precipitation are expected across the heartland over the weekend

KIRKSVILLE, Missouri & Ottumwa, Iowa – This weekend, a weather system will stall toward the west and produce several waves of precipitation over the weekend and early next week.

This system will also be responsible for several periods of severe weather across Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, parts of western Arkansas and southwest Missouri.

No severe weather is expected in our region over the weekend, but there is a risk of massive rainfall that could lead to flooding.

Flooding may occur in some areas as rainfall amounts of up to 8 to 10 cm are possible. As a result, flood warnings and/or warnings may be issued over the weekend.

As mentioned, more rain is expected on Monday and most of Tuesday morning, after which skies will clear and temperatures will return to average for this time of year.
