SYNOPTIC COLD FRONT CURRENTLY OVER NORTHERN MO AND NORTHWEST IL.
CONVECTION WITH PRIMARILY A HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT BUT ALSO AN

CENTRAL IL.  SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 440 REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR
MOST AREAS NEAR AND NORTH OF I-64/70 UNTIL 12Z/7AM CDT THIS MORNING.

EXISTING CONVECTION IS ANTICIPATED TO WEAKEN BY SUNRISE AS IT SINKS
SOUTHWARD TOWARDS I-70 BUT WILL LINGER FOR SEVERAL HOURS AFTERWARD.
NUMEROUS BOUNDARIES WILL BE OUTPUT BY THE MORNING CONVECTION AND
WILL MAKE FOR A VERY MESSY FRONTAL BOUNDARY DROPPING SOUTH TOWARDS
THE I-70 CORRIDOR LATE IN THE DAY BUT SHOULD KEEP THE BEST CHANCES
FOR RAIN THIS AFTERNOON NEAR AND JUST NORTH OF I-70.  BESIDES THE
FRONT...AREAS NORTH OF I-70 WILL ALSO LIKELY SEE NUMEROUS CONVECTIVE
DEBRIS CLOUDS WHICH WILL REDUCE THEIR ABILITY TO HEAT UP.  AS A
RESULT...HEAT ADVISORY WAS TRIMMED A BIT MORE TODAY AND ONLY AREAS
NEAR AND SOUTH OF I-70 REMAIN IN UNTIL 8 PM CDT.

WILL START WITH AT OR JUST BELOW MOS TEMPS FOR THE FCST IN MOST
AREAS WITH CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY NORTH OF I-70 ON CLOUDS' IMPACT

 THIS FLASH FLOOD WATCH MAY NEED TO BE EXPANDED OR ADJUSTED BY THE

MODELS STILL SHOW ANOTHER VERY WARM DAY ON MONDAY BUT CONSIDERABLE
UNCERTAINTY IF THIS WILL EQUATE TO ANOTHER 100+ HEAT INDEX DAY FOR
STL METRO AND SOUTHEAST MO/SOUTHWEST IL GIVEN THE CLOUDS AND RAIN
CHANCES THAT ARE ALSO EXPECTED.  WILL DEFER ON ANY HEAT HEADLINES AT
