At 1011 AM CDT, Doppler radar indicated a large area of rain across 
the warned area. Radar and rain gages indicate that some locations 
have received over half an inch of rain since early this morning. 
Rain will continue the remainder of today and into tonight and this 
is expected to produce large amounts of standing water as well as 
renewed areal flooding of small creeks, streams, and roads.

Some locations that will experience flooding include...

Belleville, Wildwood, University City, Ballwin, Granite City,
Wentzville, O'Fallon, Alton, Kirkwood, Maryland Heights, East St.
Louis, Hazelwood, Collinsville, Edwardsville and Webster Groves.

This also includes  Babler Memorial State Park, Scott Joplin

Missouri State Capitol Historic Site, Robertsville State Park, 
Meramec State Park, Carlyle Lake Recreational Area, and Horseshoe 
Lake State Park.
 
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.

Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small
creeks and streams, country roads, farmland, and other low lying
spots.

In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are
potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to cross flooded
roads. Find an alternate route.
