Short term (Today through Friday night):

The main concern in the very short term (this morning) and through
the remainder of the short term will be the potential for flooding
on continuation/enhancing of ongoing flooding. A broad swath from
north central Missouri back into northwestern Missouri and portions
of northeastern Kansas have received 1 to 4 inches with local areas
around St. Joseph receiving as much as 7+ inches. These antecedent
conditions have lowered one-hour flash flood guidance to around 1.0-
1.5 inches over many locations with the hardest hit areas as low as
0.25-0.50. Although, showers across the area early this morning
remain light, another round of thunderstorms has developed across
northeastern Kansas in an area of broad isentropic ascent and
continue to push east into the CWA. Storms are fortunately expected
to wane this morning as the isentropic ascent does however, then
will linger through the bulk of the morning hours. Clouds are
expected to hang in through the bulk of the afternoon keeping highs
in the low to mid 70s. Short range hi-res model output and sounding
suggest patchy drizzle may affect the area this afternoon. Tonight,
upper level shortwave ridging will build into the area in response
to a upper level trough moving from the Great Basin into the
northern High Plains. A few lead shortwaves ejecting out from the
main trough are expected to move into the western Plains this
evening sparking convection. Convection will be enhanced as it move
across the Plains by a LLJ. This will allow storms to push into the
area late tonight. PWATs are in the 1.25"-1.50" range tonight so
modest rainfall amounts will be possible as may be localized
flooding. Storm chances will continue into Thursday into Thursday
night as the upper trough slowly moves into the northern Plains and
a associated surface cold front moves into the central Plains. Lead
shortwave will spark convection along the front west of the area
that will move into the CWA. Friday the upper level trough will
finally looks to become more progressive and pushes east into the
Upper Midwest. This will force the attendant cold front into the CWA
and bring the chance for another round of storms to the area. These
storms will continue into Friday night as the cold front pushes
through. PWATs are in the 1.60"-2.00" range at this time so any
storms will be efficient. With several round of storms expected
through the short term, the potential for heavy rain through the
period, and low FFG because due to antecedent conditions the
flooding concerns with persist through the bulk of the short term.

Medium Range (Saturday through Tuesday):

Shower activity may continue into Saturday morning as the upper
level trough pushes through the region. However, the remainder of
the weekend we will look to dry out. Temperatures behind the front
will be seasonable with highs in the mid 70s to near 80. However,
dry conditions may be short-lived as come early next week WAA gets
underway across the area. Gulf moisture will be drawn northward out
ahead of an upper level shortwave trough that is expected to move
into the southern Plains on Tuesday. Precipitation chances increase
late Monday night into Tuesday. Highs Monday and Tuesday will rise
into the low to mid 80s.
