Short Term Weather Update for Now thru 7am Monday...

Widespread light to moderate rain will continue into the early part of the overnight hours. The widespread rain will gradually taper from West to East between Midnight and 6am on Monday, giving way to more of a scattered type activity over time.

Average rainfall amounts of 0.5-0.75 inch can be expected along and East of I-35, with less than 0.5 inch West of I-35 tonight. Locally higher rainfall amounts of up to 1 inch are possible in isolated heavier showers mainly further to the East of I-35 (perhaps along portions of Highway 21 and Eastward).

Low water crossings that are already in flood will continue in that condition into much of the overnight hours, with some improvement possible in spots by dawn. Many will remain at or near flood level through early tomorrow morning, especially to the immediate East of I-35 (including around Highway 21), and travel is discouraged in such areas.

North to Northeast wind will continue to gradually decrease to around 15 mph sustained with gusts mainly in the 15-25 mph range during the overnight hours.



We will continue monitoring the situation and issue updates as conditions warrant.
