Multiple overnight thunderstorms brought lots of rainfall across the Raccoon Valley Radio-listening area.
The National Weather Service issued three severe thunderstorm warnings for portions of Greene, Guthrie and Dallas counties from 10:30pm Tuesday through 2:32am Wednesday. Each warning brought the same main threats of heavy rainfall, 60 miles per hour winds and the potential for hail. While there were no confirmed reports of hail, there was lots of rainfall and strong winds.
The National Weather Service also issued a flash flood warning, due to 2-3 inches of rain that fell during the stretch of warnings and the potential for additional rainfall in the southeastern portion of Greene County and northwestern Dallas County until 7am. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries associated with these warnings.
Four Raccoon Valley Radio staff, along with Weatherology meteorologists, Adair and Guthrie County Emergency Management staff, two listeners and Greene County Dispatch were involved in our live coverage throughout the four hours of warnings. The one to count on for severe weather coverage is the Raccoon Valley Radio Network.
