Precipitation came in two waves. The initial round of elevated convection was focused across portions of central and south central Missouri. Rainfall amounts of one half to one and half inches fell with this initial rainfall. A second more intense band of rainfall moved across the region Thursday evening as a cold front swept into the Ozarks.
