Rain remains in the forecast this weekend for Northwest Missouri, as area rivers are already filled to the brim.

Ryan Cutter, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said more precipitation is likely to move into the area this afternoon and linger until Monday morning. Rainfall totals could hit one or two inches.

Mr. Cutter said no tornadoes are expected with the next band of cells, but there is potential for hail and damaging winds.

“Unfortunately, it looks like another event where they’re going to dump a fair amount of water across Nebraska, Iowa and then move down into Missouri,” he said.

Rainfall north of the Missouri border could mean trouble for counties such as Andrew, Atchison, Holt, Buchanan and Nodaway, as Mr. Cutter expects the water to drain south.

“Given how moist it is and all the antecedent rains, ... we could expect that potentially flash flooding could be an issue, too,” he said.

Homeowners who live near rivers, such as Sharon Spencer, who has a weekend house on the Nodaway River, are keeping their fingers crossed that river levels will not climb any higher in the next few days. Ms. Spencer said her home hasn’t been damaged yet, but if the water gets much higher, it could be.

“There’s nothing we can do at this point,” Ms. Spencer said. “Most people already moved anything of value.”

Sandi Gerstner, who evacuated her home on the Nodaway River this weekend for the fourth time in the last year, shares that attitude. Ms. Gerstner said she’ll continue to watch the river, hoping the water won’t get high enough to seep into her garage as it did last year.

“This is supposed to start dropping tomorrow, I heard,” she said Saturday. “If that’s the case, it might give us enough room.”

Though Ms. Gerstner left her home because of the floodwater, her husband, Jim, is staying, using a generator for power.

“I’m up high enough it doesn’t even affect me,” he said.

Mr. Gerstner said he thinks the water, which had escaped the banks of the river and flooded a field outside his home, is starting to go down.
