A narrow band of precipitation broke out along an elevated frontal boundary during the afternoon of March 23rd in the Saginaw Valley and Thumb regions. Initially, the precip fell as rain, but changed to snow as precipitation rates increased and the front contracted.  Snow continued, heavily at times, in that narrow band.  By 8 pm, a narrow band of 5 to 8 inches of snow had fallen across portions of Midland and Bay counties.  At this point, the elevated front pushed northward, allowing warmer air to turn the precip to liquid.  Temperatures overnight hovering at or just below the freezing mark caused some ice to accrete mainly on elevated surfaces.  By the morning of the 24th, a tenth to a quarter of an inch of ice accumulation had occurred over parts of the Saginaw Valley and Thumb.  Marginal temperatures mitigated surface transportation impacts from the freezing rain.  Areas along and south of I-69 saw mainly rain with this event.

Multiple days of heavy rain fell across the Sabine River Valley causing massive flooding in the basin. Across the Toledo Bend Reservoir rainfall amounts averaged 15 to 20 inches. This pushed the lake level to a record of 174.36 which is several inches higher than the previous record set in 1989. All operational flood gates were fully opened to stabilize and gradually lower the lake level. Two gates were kept shut since maintenance were being performed. An estimated 205,000 cfs was being released at the peak of the event and this produced record flooding at most sites downstream and north of Interstate 10.

A classic heavy rain pattern set up over the Mid-South during the period of March 9th, 2016 to March 13th, 2016. A cold front stretched from Nebraska to Texas on the morning of March 8th. The front moved southeastward and stalled across Southeast Missouri as an upper level low remained stationary over Texas. A very moist atmosphere was in place over the Mid-South south of this boundary. Several weak low pressure centers developed and moved along the stalled front. As a result, periods of heavy rain, up to an inch per hour in some cases, fell over the same locations. Over the several day stretch, the front fluctuated at times shifting the heaviest band of rain. The storm total rainfall over the 5 day period ranged from four to ten inches. The heavy rain caused widespread flash flooding and many roads were closed as a result. In addition, numerous streams and small rivers overflowed their banks.

Strong south winds gusted to around 45 mph across much of southeast Missouri, mainly along and southeast of a line from Poplar Bluff to Cape Girardeau. The strong winds occurred over flat, open farmland of the Mississippi River delta. The freshly plowed farm fields became sources of widespread blowing dust, which reduced visibility to three or four miles over a widespread area. Peak wind gusts were measured to 46 mph at the Poplar Bluff and Cape Girardeau airports. A trained spotter estimated peak winds to 45 mph near Bernie in Stoddard County. The strong winds occurred ahead of a cold front that trailed southwest from a low pressure center. The low deepened as it moved from the central Plains northeast into the Great Lakes region.
