Some areas in southern Missouri are dealing with flash flood emergencies after storms dumped up to 11 inches of rain overnight.

The National Weather Service just confirmed that Quincy, Illinois just had its 3rd wettest June ever.

A state of emergency was declared in Lincoln County after the Elsberry, Missouri area was slammed by nearly 10 inches of rain.

Already a lot of rain has fallen in Missouri, but more is on the way which has led the Missouri State Highway Patrol to issue stern warnings about catastrophic and potentially historic flooding over the next few days.

Most of Missouri could sure use some rain and it appears the state will indeed be getting and soon.

Forecasters now believe that Hurricane Helene will impact Missouri this weekend.

It's no secret that most of Missouri has been suffering through a horrible drought for the past several years, but how much rainfall would it take for the state to be back to average? The actual number is truly staggering.

It's been written that a wise person prepares when he/she sees trouble coming. With that truth in mind, I'm alerting you that you have just over 6 months to prepare for Missouri's most miserable day of the year.

Strong thunderstorms moved through the area Tuesday night into this morning.

The state climatologist says Illinois set a record for June rainfall with a statewide average of 9.53 inches last month.
