Issued at 345 AM CDT THU JUL 27 2017

Very heavy rain is tracking across extreme eastern KS into
western MO this morning where a rather strong low-level jet has
been feeding copious amounts of moisture into a cold front that is
slowly making its way southward. Widespread rainfall amounts of 3
to 5 inches have fallen across the entire KC metro eastward into
Lafayette County, with some reports over 7 inches. Flash flooding
is ongoing and will remain a problem for a few more hours.

Heaviest precipitation will gradually shift southeast into areas
south and east of KC early through sunrise and lose some of its
punch as the LLJ starts to veer and convergence weakens. A few
showers and storms could redevelop this afternoon mainly south of
a Harrisonville to Macon line where there will be some lingering
weak instability, but shear will be weak and these storms are
unlikely to be strong.

Cold front will continue making its way southward into the Ozarks
tonight while a large area of high pressure builds into the Upper
Midwest. This feature will maintain its hold on much of the area
for several days as the upper level pattern will undergo very
little change into early next week. The result will be a prolonged
stretch of cooler than average temperatures with highs in the 80s
through Wednesday with comfortable humidity levels. Precipitation
chances will be low to none through the period.

Thunderstorms have exited the KC area, and while there could be
an isolated shower or two this afternoon, most areas should be dry
for the rest of the day. IFR ceilings will persist for another
hour or two before clouds gradually lift to VFR and become
scattered this afternoon.
