East Into Missouri - ANOTHER Foot of Rain

Today's story: Much the same as yesterday, but shifted eastward into western Missouri.

It's too early for it to be picked up on Google News yet (as of this blog entry being written at 7:15 AM Central Time) but there's more flooding in the Plains today. Parts of western Missouri have been doused with more than a foot of rain* over the past day. Expect to see some houses under water on-air when the sun rises.

*This is according to Doppler Estimates, a 24-hour composite of which is shown above. A more accurate map will be put out by the NWS later this morning which is also based on actual amounts. It depends on which radar you ask as to which area received how much rain in what amount of time. Click below to see zoomed in radars of storm-total precip estimates. Right now here's how it stands for the maximum amounts:

: 17.4" Since Tuesday Morning

: Wide Area of Over 12" Since Tuesday Morning (Max of 21.1" may be inaccurate)

: Wide Area of Over 10" Since Wednesday Morning (Max of 24.5" may be inaccurate)

Some eastern Kansas towns affected by the extremely heavy rains (according to the maps above, too many towns to list for heavy rain) are: Colony, Neosho Falls, and Bassett.
