Pounding rain and thunder swept through the area in waves today. It started early with heavy rain hammering the same areas that were hit this past weekend, Southwest Missouri and Northwest Arkansas. The morning rainfall tacked on an additional 2 to 4" in places like Cassville, Branson, and Harrison. Rain amounts were heavy in spots further north as well.

It's a dramatic turn of events. Just last Tuesday, we were talking about drought and highs in the mid-90s.

Looking at this evening and overnight, we've still got some active weather ahead. The severe weather focus today has been south of the state line, but isolated severe storms will remain possible into this evening as a broken line of storms sweeps through.

A Tornado Watch remains in effect for Northwest Arkansas through 10 pm.
