The heaviest rain from the overnight storms fell along a line from Lexington to Carrollton, Missouri, the weather service said on social media. More than 7 inches of rain fell near Carrollton, according to local storm reports. Meanwhile, 3.68 inches of rain fell near Mosby.

A warmer atmosphere can hold more water, which makes it more likely moisture-laden clouds will drop rainfall bombs when they burst.

An updated flood advisory was issued by the National Weather Service on Thursday at 7:54 p.m. EDT in effect until Friday at midnight EDT for Calhoun and Kalamazoo counties.

A disturbance off the Atlantic coast of Florida could bring heavy rainfall to portions of Florida and the Gulf Coast in the coming days.
