ST. LOUIS (AP) - The flood warning continues for the following rivers in Missouri: Middle Fabius River near Ewing affecting Lewis County, South Fabius River near Taylor affecting Marion County and North River and Palmyra affecting Marion County. This flood warning is a result of widespread three to seven inches of precipitation the past 48 hours with isolated higher amounts and .5 to one inch(es) of rain in the next 24 hours.. The North River at Palmyra is also influenced by backwater from the Mississippi River. Rain heavier than currently forecast could cause river levels to rise even higher than predicted.
