The forecast of up to a foot of rain is on track, with many locations nearing that total and experiencing widespread flooding. Additional heavy rain will only exacerbate ongoing flooding and make it even worse and more widespread. * WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues. Additional heavy rains will only exacerbate ongoing flooding and make it worse and more widespread...resulting in particularly dangerous situations. * WHERE...All of southeast Missouri, southern Illinois, southwest Indiana, and western Kentucky. * WHEN...Through Sunday morning. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Low-water crossings may be flooded. Extensive street flooding and flooding of creeks and rivers are possible. Area creeks and streams are running high and could flood with more heavy rain. Be prepared as rising water levels may cause particularly dangerous situations where evacuations could become necessary. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Flash flooding and flooding caused by excessive rainfall is expected. With the forecast on track and radar estimates and spotter reports confirming many locations already having received between 4 and 10 inches, anticipated additional bouts of heavy rain will put everyone in the half foot to foot range. A few isolated totals greater than a foot are not out of the question. These amounts and resultant flooding creates a particularly dangerous situation.
