Just saw Chris' video from Carl Junction on The Weather Channel. That's great footage. Was that on the air or done on your own "free" time? haha. There is another Chris Higgins. I most definitely was NOT in Carl Junction...although I have been. As many of you know I worked in Joplin for two years to start my career. |

Chris
Please let whomever know that the bridge in Washington will likely NOT be closing with the new crest numbers that came out last night/early this morning. It is now below any threshold for bridge closure.
Thank you

Even the famous storm chaser/severe storm photographer Warren Faidley had posted Chris's picture this morning of the storm in Carl Junction. But he made the mistake of using it for the Jeff City tornado. He must of taken it down. Its no longer on his Facebook Page. Edit: Snowman is there another Chris Higgins?? I'm going to assume there are many people named Chris Higgins, just like there are many named Greg Dixon (my name). I'm just very suspicious of this being our man, Since it's so far away. But I have been wrong before.  I thought your name was Snowman? |

Radar estimates of 3 to 8" across much of Iowa over the last 24 hours. The rivers here are not going down any time soon.

This ridge needs to die.

another tornado watch. This ridge needs to die. Late next week look like it finally takes a hike right? Or at least it looked that way a day or 2 ago |

another tornado watch. This ridge needs to die. Was thinking the same thing. All the way from west Texas to near Chicago... Ugh. In the mean time this was shot this afternoon in Lewiston IL by a Matthew Peirce (spelled correctly) and downloaded from Facebook. They had a tornadic cell pass almost overhead this afternoon |

I assume those storms will eventually move further south, toward us overnight? Although weakening....
Friend of mine is camping near or at Mark Twain Lake. Told him to be safe. Looks like a stormy night for them....

It was not fun. |

Record high of 92 tied at Lambert today. Last time was 2012, and it has reached it 2 other times as well.

Radarscope showing an outflow boundary heading towards the metro. May be one of longest ones that I've ever seen

Lots of CAPE out there. I’d keep an eye on those storms across northern Mo

Wouldn't it be something if that big cell up in Northern MO did one of those curves and came south. 😉

Eerie similar for sure!! The farmers always say that if the river goes up and back down a little bit at a time before the next crest that goes higher then the last one then you can bet that it’ll be a big one (flood) within 4-5 times of this happening. |

This summer continues to look more and more like 1993. River forecasts are up again on Mississippi River... and in most spots on the Missouri. And the rain is not quitting in Iowa and Northwest Missouri, just as in 1993. |

Wettest month of the year coming up in June. This could get ugly.

I'm not ready to go all in with expectations of 1993-level flooding...but the similarities can't be denied. That was an extreme event and right now I don't expect a crest that will meet or exceed those levels but it is a possibility. It seems like the pattern wants to relax a bit as we head into June...hopefully that's the case.

You think they may turn our way?? I think they’ll try to work this way. Or atleast send out an outflow that may spark more storm development Corfidi vectors and thickness contours don't support a southward jog but I do agree that outflow could make it into the N sections of the viewing area and fire off nocturnal convection. |
