This past week, portions of Mid-Missouri saw radar estimated rainfall totals reaching up to 5". This prompted various areal flood advisories and many flood warnings widespread across the region.

The Missouri River at Glasgow is currently seeing the affects from all of this rainfall as the river levels have risen to minor flood levels and is expected to rise into the moderate flood stage heading into the crest Tuesday morning. This could lead to minor flooding issues mainly affecting agricultural practices in the region.

The same affects can be seen just south on the Missouri River with levels expected to reach into the minor flood stage with little issues expected beyond a few road closers nearby in the area.

More rainfall is on the way heading into mid to late week with additional totals expected up to 1.5" in areas west of Montgomery and Gasconade counties. This could lead to additional flooding; river levels will need to be watched closely.
