cold front stalled across Missouri and Illinois. Rich tropical
moisture from Gordon will produce very heavy rainfall across the
watch area today through Saturday night. Additional rainfall
amounts of 2 to 5 inches are likely with locally higher amounts.
The heaviest rain in this area will likely occur this afternoon

drainage areas...and ultimately dangerous flash flooding on
smaller creeks and streams. Significant rises on larger
streams and rivers will also be possible.
