This week, residents of Missouri should be prepared for potential heavy rain, as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has forecasted multiple days with elevated chances of precipitation. Specifically, expectations are set for downpours on both Tuesday, July 8, and again on Friday, July 11, 2025.
The Weather Prediction Center has identified various areas across the state that could experience rainfall intense enough to exceed flash flood thresholds within a 25-mile radius, as indicated by the marginal green zones on their latest weather maps. Of particular concern is the Ozarks region, where meteorologists are closely monitoring conditions that could lead to significant rainfall events. Their discussion highlighted the potential for notable accumulation in this area, though confidence in this forecast remains tentative for now.
Atmospheric conditions are ripe for moisture accumulation, as meteorologist Ryan Hall has pointed out high dew points expected later this week. This could contribute to the intensity of rainfall, making it crucial for residents to stay updated on forecasts and take necessary precautions.
As the week progresses, it’s important for Missourians to remain vigilant regarding the weather, especially given the will of nature that could lead to substantial rainfall once again. Planning ahead, including ensuring access to reliable weather information and safety measures, can help mitigate any possible impacts of heavy rain.
