AND THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN MISSOURI COUNTIES OF

ANDREW       CASS        GRUNDY       LAFAYETTE      RAY

...THUNDERSTORMS WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE REGION LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING BUT ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE SEVERE...

A STORM SYSTEM OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES WILL MOVE SLOWLY
EASTWARD AND INTO WEST TEXAS BY TOMORROW MORNING.  A STATIONARY
FRONT EXTENDING FROM THE BOOTHEEL OF MISSOURI AND INTO SOUTHERN
OKLAHOMA DIVIDES VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR TO THE SOUTH AND MUCH
COOLER AND DRIER AIR OVER MISSOURI AND KANSAS.  THIS BOUNDARY WILL
MOVE LITTLE BETWEEN NOW AND MONDAY MORNING.  HOWEVER...THE WARM AND
MOIST AIR TO THE SOUTH IS RIDING OVER THE FRONT AND COMBINED
WITH WEATHER DISTURBANCES ALOFT WILL PROVIDE THE INGREDIANTS FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND
CONTINUING THROUGH TONIGHT.

AT 1 PM CDT DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED SHOWERS AND THUNERSTORMS WERE
INCREASING IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY IN AN EAST-WEST BAND FROM
SOUTHEAST KANSAS THROUGH CENTRAL MISSOURI.  THE LEADING EDGE OF
THESE STORMS WAS NEAR AN EMPORIA KANSAS TO JUST SOUTH OF COLUMBIA
LINE...WITH THUNDERSTORMS OCCURRING IN BATES...HENRY...AND
ST CLAIR COUNTIES.  THIS BAND OF STORMS WAS GRADUALLY LIFTING NORTHWARD.
MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AND SPREAD
NORTHWARD ACROSS THE REST OF WEST CENTRAL AND NORTHWEST MISSOURI AS
WELL AS EAST CENTRAL KANSAS THIS AFTERNOON.

THE PRIMARY THREAT WILL BE FROM LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL...WITH SOME
SPOTS RECEIVING UP TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN BY MONDAY MORNING...AND SMALL
HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF MARBLES.  THE AdIRMASS IS EXPECTED TO BE TOO
STABLE TO SUPPORT ANY SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THREAT...BUT DUE TO SATURDAYS
RAINFALL THERE IS THE LIKELIHOOD OF PONDING OF WATER AND THE FLOODING OF
SMALL STREAMS AND RIVERS.

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY MO
430 PM CDT SUN APR 10 1994

...A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR WEST CENTRAL AND PARTS OF
NORTHWEST MISSOURI FOR TONIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR TONIGHT
AND MONDAY MORNING FOR WEST CENTRAL AND PARTS OF NORTHWEST MISSOURI.
THIS WATCH INCLUDES THE AREA ALONG AND SOUTH OF A LINE FROM JUST NORTH
OF KANSAS CITY TO 20 MILES NORTHEAST OF CARROLLTON.  THIS WATCH
INCLUDES THE KANSAS CITY AREA AS WELL AS RICHMOND...WARRENSBURG...
OLATHE...CLINTON...AND MOUND CITY KANSAS.  THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH DOES
NOT INCLUDE THE ST JOSEPH AREA.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WHICH WERE MOVING THROUGH THE KANSAS CITY
AREA WERE DECREASING IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY.  HOWEVER...A MUCH
LARGER AREA OF THUNDERSTORMS HAS RAPIDLY DEVELOPED OVER SOUTHEAST
KANSAS AND PARTS OF WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI.  AT 430 PM THE LEADING EDGE
OF THESE STORMS WAS ABOUT 50 MILES SOUTH OF DOWNTOWN KANSAS CITY AND
WERE MOVING TO THE NORTHEAST BETWEEN 30 AND 35 MPH.  THE PATTERN
OF THUNDERSTORMS MOVING OVER THE SAME GENERAL AREA WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH MOST OF TONIGHT...AND COMBINED WITH THE NEARLY SATURATED SOIL
FROM YESTERDAYS AND TODAYS RAIN MAKES FLASH FLOODING A HIGH THREAT.
CURRENT FORECASTS INDICATE LOCALIZED AREAS MAY RECEIVE TWO OR MORE
INCHES OF RAIN BY MONDAY MORNING.

DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE WATER COVERS THE
ROADWAY.  THE WATER DEPTH MAY BE TOO GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR CAR TO
CROSS SAFELY.  VEHICLES CAUGHT IN RISING WATER SHOULD BE ABANDONED
QUICKLY.  MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND.
