SHORT TERM...MAIN FORECAST ISSUE IN THE SHORT TERM...IS POSSIBLE
FLOODING WITH MORE HEAVY RAIN EXPECTED LATER TONIGHT. ALSO SEVERE
WEATHER MAY BE A CONCERN LATER TONIGHT.

SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED HIGH PRESSURE ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC COAST
AND A COLD FRONT FROM EASTERN MINNESOTA TO THE CENTRAL PLAINS. A MCC
CURRENTLY MOVING ACROSS OUR AREA. THIS HAS LEFT A OUTFLOW BOUNDARY
ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN FORECAST AREA INTO CENTRAL MISSOURI.  PRESENT
RADAR LOOPS INDICATE THE CURRENT MCC WILL BE MOVING OUT OF OUR AREA
IN ABOUT 4 HOURS AND NAM/GFS AND RUC INDICATE THERE COULD BE A LULL
IN THE PRECIP THIS EVENING.   THUNDERSTORMS ARE FIRING ACROSS
SOUTHERN MISSOURI AND THIS BEARS WATCHING. FOR THE MOMENT WILL GO
WITH MODELS FOR CENTRAL AND SE SECTIONS AND ONLY INDICATE A CHANCE
OF THUNDERSTORMS THERE THIS EVENING WITH HEAVY RAIN LATE TONIGHT.
PRECIPITABLE WATER TO OUR WEST AROUND 2 INCHES AND MODELS GIVE QPF
UP TO 3 INCHES OVERNIGHT.  OUR WEST CENTRAL HAS ALREADY HAD UP TO 2
INCHES SO FAR TODAY.  WILL ISSUE A FLOOD WATCH THROUGH TONIGHT OVER
ALL BUT OUR FAR SE.

CONVECTION WILL INCREASE OVERNIGHT AS COLD FRONT APPROACHES.  GFS MU
CAPES ARE UP TO 2000 J/KG ACROSS OUR WEST AND NW TONIGHT.  NAM
INCREASES 850 MB WINDS TO 60 KNOTS AHEAD OF COLD FRONT LATE
TONIGHT.  THUS SPC SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER STILL POSSIBLE
LATER TONIGHT.

COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS OUR AREA THURSDAY MORNING AND WILL END
CHANCES OF PRECIP FROM NW BY MIDDAY.

WHICH IS NOT A GIVEN. LLJET REMAINS WELL WEST OF THE AREA AS DO GOOD
DYNAMICS. CURRENTLY NOT OVERLY EXCITED ABOUT SVR POTENTIAL BUT WL
HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE NEXT SET OF MODEL RUNS.

FRI NT-SAT NT...S/W AND COLD FNT MV THRU THE FA. DIFFERENCE IN

CONSENSUS AROUND NAM. WITH ALL THIS IN MIND WL LEAN TOWARD NAM AND
