    Areas affected...in and near southern MO & southeast KS

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 101851Z - 110051Z

    Summary...Showers and thunderstorms developing across southeast MO
    & northwest AR are expected to give way to new activity to the
    west and northwest with time as CIN erodes and the low-level
    inflow backs. Hourly amounts to 3" with local totals to 5" possible.

    Discussion...The combination of a surface trough and outflow
    boundary have generated new convection with heavy rain across
    portions of southeast MO. Precipitable water values are 1.75-2"
    per GPS data. An ML CAPE gradient exists across portions of
    southwest MO and southern KS, with 3000-4000 J/kg existing in the
    instability pool in northeast OK. An area of effective bulk shear
    of 25-40 kts is approaching from the west. CIN is eroding from
    east to west across the region.

    As CIN erodes, the primary foci for new convection are expected to
    be along or near the outflow boundary in southeast KS and
    southwest MO, from east to west as the 850 hPa inflow backs, as
    well as closer to the incoming front which is through the Kansas
    City MO/KS metro area. Given the ingredients in place, hourly
    amounts to 3" with local totals to 5" are possible. Most of the
    region has received minimal rainfall over the past week, so widely
    scattered impacts are expected primarily with urban areas and
    sections of the Ozarks.
