...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY EVENING
THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING...

The Flash Flood Watch continues for

* Portions of southeast Kansas and Missouri, including the 
  following areas, in southeast Kansas, Bourbon, Cherokee, and 
  Crawford. In Missouri, Barry, Barton, Benton, Camden, Cedar, 
  Christian, Dade, Dallas, Dent, Douglas, Greene, Hickory, 
  Howell, Jasper, Laclede, Lawrence, Maries, McDonald, Miller, 
  Morgan, Newton, Oregon, Ozark, Phelps, Polk, Pulaski, Shannon, 
  St. Clair, Stone, Taney, Texas, Vernon, Webster, and Wright. 

* From Friday evening through Sunday evening

* Periods of thunderstorms producing heavy rainfall will occur
  from Friday night through Sunday. Storm total rainfall amounts
  from 3 to 6 inches are expected, with localized amounts of 8
  inches or more likely. It is still unclear where the heaviest
  rainfall will occur...although at this time the most probable
  axis of highest precipitation amounts will be along and south 
  of the interstate 44 corridor.
  

* With soils already saturated as well as creeks, streams, and 
  rivers running high, the potential for widespread and 
  significant flooding is becoming increasingly likely for 
  portions of the Missouri Ozarks. Flooding of some creeks, 
  rivers, and low water crossings could last for several days 
  after the rain ends. 

Some main stem rivers that will experience significant rises and 
potential flooding include the Elk, Spring, James, Big Piney, 
Gasconade, Jacks Fork, Current, Eleven Point, Osage, and Marmaton.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.

...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING...

The Flash Flood Watch continues for

* Portions of southeast Kansas and Missouri, including the 
  following areas, in southeast Kansas, Bourbon, Cherokee, and 
  Crawford. In Missouri, Barry, Barton, Benton, Camden, Cedar, 
  Christian, Dade, Dallas, Dent, Douglas, Greene, Hickory, 
  Howell, Jasper, Laclede, Lawrence, Maries, McDonald, Miller, 
  Morgan, Newton, Oregon, Ozark, Phelps, Polk, Pulaski, Shannon, 
  St. Clair, Stone, Taney, Texas, Vernon, Webster, and Wright. 

* Through Sunday evening

* Periods of showers and thunderstorms producing torrential
  rainfall will occur today through Sunday. An additional 2 to 4
  inches of rainfall will be possible through Sunday on top of the
  one to six inches of rainfall that occurred through midday.

* With soils already saturated as well as streams and rivers
  running high, significant flooding will continue. Flooding of
  streams, rivers, and low water crossings could last for several
  days after the rain ends. Areas that don't normally flood could
  flood in this event. Many rivers are expected to go into
  moderate to major flood...with some breaking records.

Some main stem rivers that will experience significant rises and
potential flooding include the Elk, Spring, James, Big Piney,
Gasconade, Jacks Fork, Current, Eleven Point, Osage, and
Marmaton. Some river points may reach moderate or major flood
stage.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Springfield MO

...Significant Flooding Event Becoming Increasingly Likely...

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 237 AM CDT Thu Apr 27 2017

A brief period of upper level short wave ridging will keep most of
today dry across the region. However, another short wave trough
will move east into the central Plains from later this afternoon
into tonight. This will result in increasing cloudiness with
showers developing and spreading east across the Missouri Ozarks
tonight. The best chance for showers will be from later this
evening into the overnight period as a low level jet stream
induces isentropic upglide. There may also be enough instability
for a few rumbles of thunder.

We went on the lower side of temperature guidance today with a
quicker increase in clouds expected. Most areas should warm into
the lower to middle 60s. Temperatures tonight should fall off in
the evening before steadying off overnight. Lows should be in the
lower to middle 50s.

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 237 AM CDT Thu Apr 27 2017

A few showers or thunderstorms will remain possible into Friday as
that short wave energy shears off to the east. Attention then
turns to what will likely be a significant rainfall event for the
Friday night into Sunday time frame.

Upper level flow will become southwesterly with a low level
baroclinic zone sharpening up in a southwest to northeast fashion
from the Red River region, through the Missouri Ozarks, and
continuing into the Ohio Valley. Copious amounts of moisture will
be available with precipitable water value anomalies 2-3 standard
deviations above normal. Additionally, the presence of a nearly
continuous low level jet/moisture feed will result in regeneration
of convection for a long duration (versus a cold pool eventually
cutting off moisture).

Confidence in a flooding event has therefore become high enough to
post a Flash Flood Watch (will be out by 4 AM) for all of the
Missouri Ozarks and extreme Southeastern Kansas from Friday night
through Sunday. Widespread storm total amounts are still expected
to be in the 3-6" range, but with a caveat. With convective
elements in play for the duration of the event, locally higher
amounts are quite likely (in the 8" plus range). It is still a bit
early to nail down where the heaviest rain will fall.

Not to be outdone, the potential for severe storms will also be
present with this setup starting as early as Friday night. South
of that strengthening front, moderate amounts of instability will
be present with sufficient deep layer shear for strong to severe
storms. If supercells can develop, large hail to the size of golf
balls would be possible. The tornado threat will have to be
monitored as supercell motions would tend to parallel the front.
Even north of the front, elevated hailers will be possible.

The key to the severe potential Friday night will be where that
front sets up. The NAM has it draped across south-central Missouri
with the ECMWF a bit farther north. In contrast, the GFS keeps it
just south of the Arkansas border. We are leaning towards that
front at least making it as far north as southern Missouri. The
severe threat would then continue into Saturday, especially along
and south of where that front sets up.

The main upper level support for this system will then pull
through the region from Sunday into Sunday night. The main
shower/thunderstorm threat should begin to diminish later in the
day on Sunday, however some light wrap-around precipitation will
remain possible into Sunday night or even Monday.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday night)
Issued at 1144 PM CDT Wed Apr 26 2017

IFR to MVFR conditions will gradually give way to rising ceilings
overnight. VFR conditions are expected Thursday as surface high
pressure builds over the region.

605 PM CDT Wed Apr 26 2017

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of the Missouri
Ozarks and extreme southeast Kansas.

.DAY ONE...Tonight.

Weather hazards expected...

  Limited Flooding risk.

DISCUSSION...

Rain will taper off across south central Missouri this evening.
However runoff from heavy rain today will result in localized
flooding of small creeks and low water crossings through tonight.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday.

Confidence then continues to increase in the potential for
widespread heavy rainfall from later Friday through the weekend.
With soils nearly saturated, excessive runoff will be likely and
will lead to an increasing risk for flooding. At this time, it
appears that the heaviest axis of rainfall may occur from
northwestern Arkansas through southern Missouri where 3 to 6
inches of rainfall is forecast with locally higher amounts
possible. Widespread flooding will become possible beneath this
axis of heaviest rainfall.

Additionally, there will be a risk for strong to severe
thunderstorms from Friday into Saturday across southern Missouri.

Those with outdoor and travel plans for this upcoming weekend
should pay close attention to the forecast as there is the
potential for multiple weather hazards, including the potential
for widespread flooding.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

  Spotter activation will not be needed through tonight.
