Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

955 PM CDT SAT MAY 31 2008

...MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE DISCUSSION...

.UPDATE...

A TORNADO WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND
MUCH OF SOUTHWEST MISSOURI THROUGH 4 AM.

INTENSE THUNDERSTORMS HAD RAPIDLY DEVELOPED ACROSS SOUTHEAST
KANSAS SINCE 830 PM. STORMS HAVE QUICKLY TAKEN ON SUPERCELLUAR
CHARACTERISTICS WITH FAVORABLE SHEAR ENVIRONMENT. 0-3 KM HELICITY
HAD INCREASED TO NEAR 300 M2/S2 WITH 0-1 KM SHEAR NEAR 20 KTS IN AN
AXIS FROM SOUTHEAST KANSAS INTO FAR SOUTHWEST MISSOURI CLOSER TO A
STALLED BOUNDARY. THE TORNADO THREAT WILL BE ENHANCED IN THIS AREA
FROM CHEROKEE AND BARTON COUNTIES SOUTHEAST INTO NEWTON AND
MCDONALD COUNTIES. LARGE HAIL WILL ALSO BE LIKELY WITHIN THE
PERSISTENT ROTATING STORMS. VERY HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLOODING
WILL ALSO BE LIKELY AS RICH MOISTURE ADVECTS INTO THE AREA.

.DISCUSSION...

MCS REMNANTS MOVED ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND SOUTHWEST MISSOURI
THIS MORNING. CONVECTION HAS STARTED TO REDEVELOP OVER SOUTHEAST
KANSAS AND WESTERN MISSOURI THIS AFTERNOON AS TEMPERATURES ON THE
WESTERN EDGE OF THE CLOUD SHIELD FROM THIS MORNINGS MCS.
TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THE PLACE TODAY WITH READINGS
STILL IN THE UPPER 60S AT SGF WHICH HAS SPENT MOST OF THE DAY IN
THE CLOUD SHIELD AND RAINFALL TO THE LOWER 80S OVER EASTERN
MISSOURI. SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF MISSOURI
HAVE STARTED TO BREAK OUT OF THE CLOUDS AND TEMPERATURES HAVE SHOT
BACK INTO THE MID TO UPPER 70S. AS A RESULT...STORMS HAVE
INTENSIFIED OVER THE WESTERN CWA AND A FEW WARNINGS HAVE BEEN ISSUED.

THIS AREA WILL LIKELY BE THE FOCAL POINT OF ADDITIONAL CONVECTION
OVER THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS WITH A FRONTAL BOUNDARY SETTING UP
NEARLY STATIONARY ALONG THE MO/AR BORDER AND OVER NORTHERN
OKLAHOMA. ANOTHER MCS IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER KANSAS TONIGHT
AND TRACK ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS INTO THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF
MISSOURI LATE TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING...SIMILAR TO LAST NIGHT
INTO THIS MORNING. WILL BE ISSUING A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THIS
SOUTHWESTERN CORNER OF THE CWA FOR LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH
SUNDAY AFTERNOON TO ACCOUNT FOR THE ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN
POTENTIAL OVER THESE SAME LOCATIONS.

CONVECTIVE CHANCES WILL LIKELY CONTINUE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY
BEFORE THE FRONT BEGINS TO RETREAT BACK TO THE NORTHEAST. THE LOW
LEVEL JET WILL REMAIN ACTIVE ESPECIALLY DURING THE NIGHTTIME HOURS
INTO SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND WESTERN MISSOURI...AND THESE AREAS WILL
LIKELY RECEIVE THE MAJORITY OF THE HEAVY RAIN.

ANOTHER STRONG SYSTEM LOOKS TO AFFECT THE REGION LATER IN THE WEEK
TOWARDS THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY AND WILL BRING THE NEXT
SIGNIFICANT CHANCE AT PRECIPITATION AFTER THIS INITIAL SYSTEM
EVENTUALLY MOVES OUT.

&&

.AVIATION...

VFR CEILINGS WILL PREVAIL THIS EVENING WITH THUNDERSTORMS
INCREASING DURING THE NIGHT. THE STORMS WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL
FOR STRONG WINDS AS WELL AS IFR CONDITIONS. MVFR CEILINGS AND
VISIBILITIES MAY DEVELOP OVERNIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING.
