Rains soaked the Kansas City area Sunday, causing some minor flooding along rivers and streams.

The storm dumped nearly 3 inches of rain in southern Johnson County for the 24-hour period ending at 6 p.m. Parts of Kansas City north of the Missouri River saw nearly 2 inches of rain for that time period.

An additional 1/4 to 1 inch of rain was expected overnight as light rain was likely to continue across the region.

The National Weather Service reported that some minor river flooding had started as of 3:30 p.m. While the rivers and streams started to flood, no major impacts were anticipated.

Additional river flooding could happen over the next few days as runoff from rainfall upstream flows through.

The Clay County sheriff reported on Twitter at about 12:35 p.m. that Northeast 122nd Street at the Fishing River bridge in Mosby was closed because of high water.

New Century airport near Gardner was just shy of 3 inches of rain for the 24-hour period ending at 6 p.m., according to data by Stormwatch.com.

Meanwhile, St. Joseph had record rainfall Sunday of 1.11 inches of rain as of 5 p.m. Rain continued to fall there. Sunday’s rainfall broke the previous record of 1 inch set in 1992.
