.A LARGE...SLOW MOVING STORM SYSTEM WILL AFFECT THE REGION
BEGINNING ON THANKSGIVING DAY. RAINFALL WILL BEGIN ACROSS EXTREME

RAIN WILL BE HEAVY AT TIMES THANKSGIVING NIGHT INTO FRIDAY NIGHT.
TWO TO FIVE INCHES OF RAIN IS EXPECTED...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER

INCREASINGLY DORMANT AND SOIL CONDITIONS REMAIN ABNORMALLY MOIST.
AS A RESULT...INCREASED RUNOFF FROM RAINFALL WILL LIKELY PRODUCE
FLOODING OF LOW WATER CROSSINGS AND OTHER FLOOD PRONE LOW LYING
AREAS. RIVER LEVELS WILL RISE...WITH MINOR FLOODING POSSIBLE
ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI.
