HYDROLOGIC OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO
830 PM CDT THU MAY 30 2013

RIVER FORECASTS ISSUED AROUND MIDDAY TODAY FOR THE
MISSISSIPPI...MISSOURI...AND ILLINOIS RIVERS ARE BASED ON 24 HOURS
OF FORECAST RAINFALL.  THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY OF THE SIGNIFICANT
RAINFALL EXPECTED AFTER 7 AM FRIDAY.  CONTINGENCY FORECASTS ON THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER INCLUDING FORECAST RAINFALL THROUGH SATURDAY
INDICATE CRESTS NEXT WEEK CLOSE TO APRIL CRESTS AT CLARKSVILLE AND
GAGES UPSTREAM...AND A LITTLE HIGHER AT WINFIELD.

STAGES AT ST. LOUIS AND CHESTER WILL BE APPROACHING 2008
LEVELS...EXCEEDING LAST MONTH`S LEVELS THANKS TO A HIGHER MISSOURI
RIVER FOR THIS EVENT.  FRIDAY MORNING FORECASTS WILL INCLUDE
FORECAST RAIN THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING...WHICH ENCOMPASSES MOST OF
THIS EVENT.  THESE SHOULD INCREASE FORECAST CRESTS ON BOTH RIVERS.

MEANWHILE...RAINFALL RATES ALONG THE MAIN LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS
THROUGH WEST CENTRAL ILLINOIS INTO NORTHEASTERN MISSOURI HAVE BEEN
DECREASING.  RAINFALL AMOUNTS FROM AUTOMATED RAIN GAGES ALONG THIS
LINE HAVE RECORDED UP TO AN 1.6 INCHES OF RAIN AT HANNIBAL
MISSOURI...WHERE A TRAILER PARK NEAR BEAR CREEK WAS REPORTED TO BE
FLOODING.  THERE WAS ALSO A REPORT OF 1.87 INCHES AT ASHLAND
MISSOURI.  WHILE THIS BAND OF THUNDERSTORMS APPEARS TO BE
DECREASING...THE NEXT AREA OF SIGNIFICANT THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI BY LATE FRIDAY
MORNING.
