GOING FORECAST LOOKS GOOD...WITH COLD FRONT POSITIONED FROM ROUGHLY
BETHANY TO MUSCOTAH KANSAS...AND INITIATION OCCURRING AT THE
ANTICIPATED TIME.  SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH UPDATED TO INCLUDE MUCH
OF WESTERN MISSOURI AND EASTERN KANSAS THROUGH 9 PM.  GIVEN SHEAR
PROFILES...ANTICIPATE MOSTLY A MULTICELLULAR...HAIL/DAMAGING WIND
THREAT WITH THESE STORMS.  SLOW MOVING FRONT WILL LIKELY BRING A
CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF RAIN TO NORTHCENTRAL MISSOURI...MOST NOTABLY
NORTH OF INTERSTATE 70 AND EAST OF INTERSTATE 35.  WITH A
CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF AVAILABLE MOISTURE...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN
EFFECT THROUGH EARLY MORNING HOURS.

FOLLOWING THE FRONT...CONDITIONS LOOK TO DRY OUT BY MID SATURDAY
INTO SUNDAY.  HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE HIGH PLAINS...ENDING
THE WEEK OF ACTIVE WEATHER.  NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL SHIFT MOST
ACTIVITY INTO AREAS OF NORTHERN IOWA AND MINNESOTA...WITH RIDGING
MOVING INTO PLACE BY MID WEEK.  THEREFORE...DRY FORECAST WILL REMAIN
IN TACT UNTIL FURTHER MODEL RUNS ADVERTISE OTHERWISE.  TEMPERATURES
REBOUND TO NEAR NORMAL VALUES BY THE END OF THE WEEK...WITH STRONG
