1201 PM CDT Thu Apr 3 2025
A frontal boundary to our south is expected to drop heavy rain over
the Ohio Valley and lower Mississippi, with additional sustained
rounds of heavy rain through the weekend. Our southern area is
seeing some of that activity, which presents a possibility of
significant flooding in eastern Missouri, southern Illinois, and the
southeast corner of Michigan.
River forecasts routinely incorporate 24 hours of QPF from
April 1 to September 30 and 48 hours from October 1 to March 31.
