.DISCUSSION...

OCCLUDED STACKED CYCLONE NEAR KANSAS CITY WILL PROPAGATE EWD TOWARDS
THE FA TONIGHT...AND INTO THE AREA TOMORROW. THIS FEATURE WILL
CONTINUE TO PROVIDE THE FA WILL ACTIVE WEATHER THROUGH TOMORROW.
LATEST WATER VAPOR LOOP SHOWS A WELL DEFINED LEAD SHORTWAVE AND MID
LEVEL JET MAXIMA LIFTING NEWD THROUGH THE AREA AS OF THIS WRITING.
THIS COMBINED WITH ADVECTION OF STEEP MID LVL LAPSE RATES AND DEEP
LAYER SHEAR OF NEARLY 60 KNOTS HAS ALLOWED FOR STRONG/SEVERE
CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON...NOW ROUGHLY LINED UP FROM SW TO NE
ACROSS MAINLY SOUTHERN/EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA AS OF 20Z.
DEFINITELY A CONCERN FOR ISOLATED TORNADOES ACROSS OUR SOUTHEAST
LATE THIS AFTERNOON GIVEN POTENTIAL/FURTHER BOUNDARY LAYER
DESTABILIZATION UNDER CIRRUS...AND FROM 200-400 0-1KM SRH VALUES
INVOF OF THE SFC BOUNDARY/CONVECTION OUTFLOW PER BACKED FLOW. STABLE
BUBBLE SHOWING UP NICELY ON VIS SATELLITE ACROSS NRN IL...WITH A
BOUNDARY SET UP NEAR THE INTERSTATE 70 CORRIDOR. THIS STABLE AIR
WILL LIKELY WORK IN BETWEEN FORCING FROM LEAD SHORTWAVES...AT LEAST
ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTHERN AREAS FOR A TIME LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. THIS MAY SUPPORT A LULL IN THE SHOWER/STORM ACTIVITY DURING
THIS TIME. ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS/STORMS WILL LIKELY PROPAGATE
THROUGH TONIGHT AS CONVECTION ACROSS MISSOURI TRACKS NEWD AND THE
FRONTAL CIRCULATION DEEPENS/INTENSIFIES. THERE IS STILL A RISK FOR
SVR WX TONIGHT...BUT DO EXPECT THAT WIDESPREAD SEVERE WX WITH
POTENTIAL LEWP/SQLN BYPASSES TO THE SOUTH GIVEN PROGGED ORIENTATION
OF MASS FIELDS AND CURRENT SATELLITE/RADAR TRENDS. STORMS SO FAR
TODAY HAVE DROPPED BTW 1 AND 3 INCHES OF RAIN IN SOME AREAS. WITH
THE RECENT HEAVY RAINS...RESULTING LOW FFG/S...PWATS NEAR 1.5
INCHES...AND ADDITIONAL HVY RAINS ANTICIPATED DECIDED TO HOIST A
FLASH FLOOD WATCH CWA WIDE THROUGH 08Z THUR. BEST CHANCES FOR
FLOODING WILL BE ACROSS SOUTHERN/EASTERN AREAS.

SHOULD SEE SHOWERS AND STORMS LINGER ACROSS THE AREA INTO THURSDAY
WITH CYCLONE AND BAROCLINIC ZONE OVERHEAD...WITH DEFORMATION
RAIN/DRIZZLE/LOW CLOUDS ACROSS THE FAR NORTHWEST. SOUTHEASTERN AREAS
COULD SEE SOME STRONGER CONVECTION DEVELOP IN THE AFTERNOON ON THE
SE FRINGE OF THE CIRCULATION. DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH PARTIAL CLEARING
OCCURS WE COULD SEE A MARGINAL SVR EVENT IN THE SOUTHEAST THURSDAY
AFTERNOON. A FEW SHOWERS WILL LIKELY LINGER INTO THURSDAY NIGHT AS
THE MID LEVEL DEFORMATION AXIS CONTINUES TO PIVOT THROUGH.  NO
CHANGES TO GRIDS/FCST BEYOND THURSDAY GIVEN MAIN FOCUS ON ONGOING
SEVERE WX. IT STILL APPEARS AS IF DRIER AND WARMER WX IS IN STORE
THIS WEEKEND INTO NEXT WEEK AS AN EXPANSIVE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS
ACROSS THE EASTERN CONUS.
