After a brief break Saturday evening, another round of rain is expected in the Ozarks today going into Monday.

The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for the Missouri Lakes Region starting this afternoon and going into Monday afternoon. 

The rain is expected to redevelop early this morning with possible rainfall rates of 1 to 3 inches per hour which may lead to flash flooding in urban and low-lying areas. Rainfall amounts overall of 1 to 3 inches are possible with locally higher amounts possible. 

According to the statement from the NWS, excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Low-water crossings may be flooded.
