* URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD WARNING FOR...
  MIAMI COUNTY IN KANSAS
  BATES COUNTY IN MISSOURI
  CASS COUNTY IN MISSOURI
  HENRY COUNTY IN MISSOURI

* UNTIL 600 AM CDT

* AT 110 AM CDT...WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED...         
  THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCING VERY HEAVY RAIN SOUTH OF A PAOLA TO
  LOUISBURG KANSAS TO HARRISONVILLE TO WARRENSBURG LINE. THESE       
  STORMS ARE MOVING TO THE SOUTHEAST AT 25 MPH. DOPPLER RADAR 
  ESTIMATES BETWEEN 1 AND 2 INCHES OF RAIN HAS FALLEN SINCE MIDNIGHT 
  FROM PAOLA TO CHILLHOWEE. AN ADDITIONAL 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN 
  IS POSSIBLE AS MORE STORMS OVER EAST CENTRAL KANSAS MOVE INTO THE 
  REGION THIS MORNING.

* ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL WILL LEAD TO RAPID RISES...AND THE THREAT
  FOR FLOODING...ON THE FOLLOWING STREAMS AND CREEKS

MIAMI CREEK
TEBO CREEK
SUGAR CREEK

EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM THIS STORM WILL CAUSE FLOODING OF SMALL CREEKS
AND STREAMS...HIGHWAYS AND UNDERPASSES. ADDITIONALLY...COUNTRY ROADS
AND FARMLANDS ALONG THE BANKS OF CREEKS AND STREAMS AND OTHER LOW
LYING AREAS ARE SUBJECT TO FLOODING.

BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS HARDER TO RECOGNIZE THE
DANGERS OF FLOODS. IF FLOODING IS OBSERVED ACT QUICKLY. MOVE UP TO
HIGHER GROUND TO ESCAPE FLOOD WATERS. DO NOT STAY IN AREAS SUBJECT TO
FLOODING WHEN WATER BEGINS RISING.

DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE 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.

AN URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD WARNING MEANS THAT FLOODING IS
IMMINENT OR OCCURRING. IF YOU ARE IN THE WARNING AREA MOVE TO HIGHER
GROUND IMMEDIATELY.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTION TO TIME
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO
225 PM CDT SUN JUN 27 1999

FORECAST CHALLENGE WILL BE TSTM CHANCES FOR NEXT 24 HOURS.
ADDITIONAL CONVECTION HAS REDEVELOPED BEHIND FIRST MCS THIS
AFTERNOON ON NOSE OF SURPRISINGLY STRONG LLJ FOR THIS TIME OF DAY.
DESPITE ATMOSPHERE BEING WORKED OVER FROM EARLIER CONVECTION...JET
PROVIDING ENOUGH LIFT OVER OLD OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES TO ALLOW
CONVECTION TO PERSIST.

SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS COLD FRONT LYING FROM CENTRAL WISCONSIN
SOUTHWEST INTO WEST CENTRAL KANSAS. WILL GO MORE WITH ETA MODEL
WHICH IS HINTING AT NEXT MCS DEVELOPING OUT OVER THE HIGH PLAINS OF
KANSAS. THICKNESS CONTOURS WOULD FAVOR A SIMILAR MOVEMENT TO THIS
MORNINGS CONVECTION...WHICH WOULD TAKE MCS EAST-SOUTHEAST...
GENERALLY A BIT FURTHER SOUTH THAN LAST NIGHT. LOCALIZED FLOODING IS
A POTENTIAL PROBLEM TONIGHT...AS THETA-E RIDGE POSITIONS ITSELF OVER
FORECAST AREA. HOWEVER...DUE TO UNCERTAINTY OF WHERE AND WHEN
CONVECTION WILL AFFECT CWA WILL HOLD OFF ON ANY FFA AT THIS TIME.

FRONTAL BOUNDARY SHOULD GET A PUSH FROM OVERNIGHT CONVECTION AND
MOVE TO THE SOUTH OF FORECAST AREA DURING THE DAY ON MONDAY. AS A
RESULT...FEEL THAT BEST THREAT FOR PRECIPITATION WILL BE IN THE
MORNING TOMORROW...AND THEN DRY BUT COOLER CONDITIONS FOR TUESDAY.

WILL GENERALLY GO WITH COMPROMISE OF FWC AND FAN GUIDANCE
TEMPERATURES.

.EAX...

KS...NONE.
MO...NONE.
