CAPE GIRARDEAU COUNTY IN SOUTHEAST MISSOURI...
PERRY COUNTY IN SOUTHEAST MISSOURI...
STODDARD COUNTY IN SOUTHEAST MISSOURI...
WAYNE COUNTY IN SOUTHEAST MISSOURI...
* UNTIL 415 PM CST FRIDAY.
* AT 1011 AM CST...MANY COUNTY ROADS ACROSS THE WARNED AREA WERE
STILL REPORTED AS BEING WATER COVERED. HEAVY RAINS YESTERDAY
SATURATED THE GROUND ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHEAST MISSOURI AND CAUSED
FLOODING. BECAUSE THE GROUND IS SO SATURATED...FLOOD WATERS ARE
VERY SLOW TO RECEDE...SO IT WILL STILL TAKE MUCH OF THE DAY FOR
ROADS TO CLEAR.
CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY IMPROVE THROUGH THE DAY. HOLIDAY
DRIVERS NEED TO USE CAUTION...ESPECIALLY IN LOW LYING AND FLOOD
PRONE AREAS.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE
ROADWAY. THE WATER DEPTH MAY BE TOO GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR CAR TO CROSS
SAFELY. MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND.

A WIND ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM CST THIS EVENING.
* A POWERFUL STORM SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE ITS NORTHWARD LIFT INTO
IOWA TODAY. WINDS AVERAGING 15 TO 30 MPH AND GUSTING 40 TO 45

OUTAGES ARE POSSIBLE. OUTDOOR CHRISTMAS DISPLAYS MAY BE BLOWN
ABOUT IF THEY ARE NOT PROPERLY SECURED. DIFFICULT DRIVING
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED WITH WINDS OF THIS MAGNITUDE...ESPECIALLY
FOR HIGHER PROFILE VEHICLES.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
WET GROUNDS DUE TO RAINS MAY ALLOW SMALLER OR LOOSELY ROOTED
TREES TO UPROOT DUE TO THE HIGH WINDS. UNSECURED PATIO OR OUTDOOR
PLACEMENTS MAY BE PRONE TO DAMAGE FROM TUMBLING. TRAVEL WILL BE
DIFFICULT...ESPECIALLY FOR HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES. THE COMBINATION
OF WET ROADS AND HIGH WINDS MEANS HOLIDAY MOTORISTS SHOULD BE
EXTRA CAUTIOUS AND ALLOW PLENTY OF TIME TO REACH YOUR
DESTINATION.
