ST. LOUIS – A record 3.89” of rain fell Tuesday at Lambert Airport. Adding that to Monday’s 3.75 inches, and Lambert says 7.64” of rain over the two-day period (plus almost a ½” on Sunday). This is the highest 2-day St. Louis rain total ever in November by more than 3”.

With some areas seeing 8 to 11 inches of rain, the smaller streams and creeks have crested, and all that water is moving into larger streams.
