Continued flooding. Concern will increase with each passing day that the strain on levees could cause some to break. Be prepared for flash flooding in the event of a levee breach. Have life jackets and other emergency supplies ready for immediate deployment in the event of a breach.
Wednesday will be dry. Thursday will be dry - a chance Thursday night of a brief period of showers and storms. 1-2 hours in duration - IF they form at all. Precipitation would total less than 0.40".
Snake bites - a number of people have reported snakes escaping the flood waters and moving into areas they are normally not seen.

You can now view the 6-10 and 8-14 day forecasts! Maps are available by clicking here.

1. Dry weather Wednesday into Thursday. Thursday night a weak disturbance moves into the area with a line of showers and thunderstorms over southern IL and southeast MO - this will happen on Thursday night. The line should weaken as it moves into west KY. If rain does develop and move into the area it would only last 1-2 hours and would be less than 0.40" in total.
2. I am watching the April 8th-13th time frame for severe weather risks. It appears the atmosphere will reload by then and produce a few storm systems that will need to be monitored. Mainly concerned about next week for a round of strong or severe storms.
.
Here is the new 6-10 day outlook - this is for next Monday into the next week - temperature map first and precipitation map second. Basically this is a probability map - meaning this is the chance of it being warmer and cooler than normal and wetter or drier than normal.
