Parts of Mid-Missouri saw another round of rain Saturday morning following severe storms and damaging winds the night before.

The ABC 17 Stormtrack Weather team is tracking a wet Saturday morning before the rain clears up for the rest of the week.

An ABC 17 News reporter saw some water-covered roadways in Paris around 6 a.m., and a fast-flowing Middle Fork Salt River.

Just after 7 a.m., Boone County Joint Communications sent a text message to residents, letting them know that a downed tree was in the roadway in the 7000 block of North Buckingham Square, creating a traffic hazard.

Strong storms also knocked out power for thousands of Mid-Missourians on Friday night, and a couple of hundred Boone County residents were still in the dark early Saturday morning.
