A broad atmospheric trough dips across most of the country this morning, from the Rockies to the East Coast. Along its front, low pressure centers have developed, sweeping warm, humid air from the Gulf of Mexico northward across the cooler air within the trough.
Heavy, flooding rain is expected across eastern Kansas, eastern Oklahoma, southern Missouri and the southern Mississippi Valley while most areas within the trough will receive some precipitation. Not a welcome development for the holiday weekend.
Here in central Missouri, we expect relatively cool, cloudy conditions and intermittent rain over the next three days. Having recently recovered from a prolonged drought, we really can't complain.
