Obviously the main concern for this forecast package is going to be tropical rainstorm Isaac.
Where Isaac tracks will be key in forecasting rainfall totals in our region. It appears the heaviest rains will be mostly to our west (south/southwest/northwest/north).
Heaviest totals will spread through parts of western and central/northern Arkansas - southwest and south central Missouri - southeast - central Missouri - northeast Missouri - into southern/central and parts of northern Illinois.
Moisture from Isaac will be swept into our region - but again - the heaviest rains are likely to be across portions of Missouri and Illinois - perhaps the heaviest band somewhere along a line from Princeton, Indiana to Poplar Bluff, MO - along and west and near that line. Totals of 2-4" are likely in those areas - perhaps even more in localized downpours. For the rest of our region we should pick up a widespread 0.50"-1.50" event with locally heavier totals possible.
Monitor updates if you have outdoor plans and plan on some showers and storms in the region this weekend.
Winds will be gusty at times from the south at 10-20 mph - gusts above 20 mph.
If you have camping plans this weekend then monitor updates and possible watches/warnings.
Here is the official forecast from the Hydrological Prediction Center for Thursday through Tuesday - as you can see there are some ribbons of heavier rainfall totals. EVERYONE will NOT receive what is shown on this map. For tropical systems it is VERY difficult to give exact rainfall forecasts - county by county. But you get the general idea from this map that some areas could pick up heavy rainfall totals.
Again - this is a forecast for rainfall totals - not a promise.
Also keep in mind that tropical systems can produce extremely heavy rainfall in small areas, as well. We have witnessed that over the years - a couple of counties could pick up much heavier totals.
Monitor for updates in the event the forecast changes. There is low confidence in forecasting rainfall totals from Friday into Sunday night over our local counties.

Monitor updated forecasts this weekend. Monitor weather radio if you are out camping. Some flash flooding will be possible over the coming 2-4 day period in our region.
The wild card in this forecast is obviously going to be tropical rainstorm Isaac. The eventual track of Isaac will be key in forecasting rainfall totals. Monitor updated forecasts as the remnants track northward.

HEADLINES: Isaac is the big story in the weather community. The storm increased in along the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday - becoming a hurricane during the late morning hours. The main concern with Isaac, across the gulf coast states, is going to be the long duration of the wind and the heavy rain. Flooding and storm surge damage will likely be substantial.
Track Isaac here - on our Tropical Weather Page
Isaac on satellite this afternoon (Tuesday afternoon)
The question for our region will be the track of Isaac over the coming days. Models have started to agree that Isaac will track west/northwest over the coming 24-48 hours with a turn towards the north on Thursday and Friday. The system will eventually be absorbed into a cold front and trough moving in from the northern United States.
Heavy rain and thunderstorms - some producing flash flooding and tornadoes - will spread north and west through parts of northeast Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Mississippi (parts of Alabama) tonight (Tuesday night) into Wednesday evening and Thursday morning. Rainfall totals of 10"-20" will be possible with the heaviest rain bands.
On Thursday afternoon and Friday the system will continue to move westward/northward. Heavy rain - some tornadoes - will be possible across portions of Mississippi, southwest Tennessee, Arkansas and the Missouri Ozarks/southern Missouri.
On Friday into Sunday the entire system will move north/northeast and eventually east across portions of the Missouri Valley into Illinois/Indiana/Kentucky. Locally heavy downpours will be possible in our region from Isaac. Monitor updated forecasts for possible watches/warnings.
If you have camping plans then please take a weather radio with you or closely monitor rapidly changing weather conditions. Tropical systems can produce heavy rainfall in short periods of time.
There continues to be questions surrounding the exact track of Isaac. Regardless of where the low actually tracks - there will be moisture moving into our region. Being a holiday weekend - consider having alternative plans in the event showers and thunderstorms move into our local counties.
The best chance for rain in our local counties will likely be on Friday night/Saturday into Sunday.
Here is the GFS Model - this is the morning run - the colors represent rainfall totals. Again - see how the system will move northwest eventually - then move north - then curve to the northeast as the trough and cold front picks it up.
This is ONE models idea of how much rain will fall. Click the image for the full size view.
The threat for severe weather will need to be monitored. Tropical systems are well known for producing tornadoes - even as they track well inland. This is something that will need to be monitored over the coming days. I think the better chance for a few tornadoes would be over Arkansas and Missouri Ozarks - Thursday/Friday - perhaps into Saturday.
On Friday night into Sunday - there could be some reports of gusty winds and isolated tornadoes a bit further east into Illinois/Indiana and perhaps even Kentucky. Isolated being the key word here. Tropical systems can be tricky - as I have stated above. Monitor updated forecasts.

1. Focus right now will be on Isaac. Otherwise - a few cold fronts will be possible over the coming 10-15 day period. That means a couple of chances for rain and storms - and temperatures should not be too bad - perhaps normal to above normal ahead of the fronts with normal to below normal behind each front.

before storms
strike than to be without one
during an event. I recommend the
Midland Model 300 NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio - that is what I use here at my house!
