.SHORT TERM...(tonight through Sunday)
Issued at 220 PM CDT Thu May 26 2016
Warm front was located across northeast Kansas at 19z with a large

of thunderstorms are expected through most of the period as upper

looks to be a brief break in the stormy pattern late Saturday
night into Sunday behind the trough but additional storms return
by Monday.
Flash flood watch will cover parts of southeast Nebraska and
southwest Iowa near the warm front through tonight with potential
for several rounds of thunderstorms and heavy rain.
.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Thursday)
Issued at 220 PM CDT Thu May 26 2016

the GFS.
