Central Missouri has received nearly a month's worth of rainfall this week. There is finally some dry time expected for a few days.
Columbia received around 3.00" of rain over the last two days, and nearly 5.00" of rain over the last seven days. This will lead to March being above-normal on precipitation. March typically has averaged 2.91" over the last 30 years.
