Oh look, a Flash Flood Watch is in effect again
Black Friday is shaping up to be particularly dark and dreary as another round of heavy rainfall arrives Thanksgiving evening and lasts through the entire holiday weekend.
A Flash Flood Watch has just been issued for Southeast Missouri, including Cape Girardeau, for Friday morning through evening when the heaviest precip is expected.
Current projections put us in the red zone again for 3+ inches of total rainfall during the next five days. Areas to the southwest including Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas could see even more rain -- possibly surpassing 8 inches.
The silver lining for us is that this system is not expected to bring any serious thunderstorms, nor is it expected to bring any wintry precipitation. Temperatures should remain fairly warm for this time of year, with highs in the 60s on Turkey Day.
