A slow moving MCS is dumping extreme rainfall along the Iowa Missouri border at this time. NWS Doppler radar is estimating continuous rainfall rates of more than one inch per hour, with storm totals over 6 inches. This will cause moderate to major flooding across the region and flood and flash flood warnings are flying off the press. The Mississippi River is already at Major flood stage with multiple levee breaks. Also, the Mississippi River has been shut down to all traffic for the next few weeks. This will undoubtedly cause higher prices all across the market because goods will have to be shipped over land.

Simply put, this is not good. Stay tuned!
