* Through Sunday evening

* Periods of intense rainfall will continue through the rest of
  the afternoon into the Overnight hours. One to three inches of
  rainfall has already occurred across Southeast Kansas and
  Western Missouri with additional rainfall this occuring for the
  rest of the afternoon. Flooding is already occuring across parts
  of Southeast Kansas and the Missouri Ozarks.
  
 A thunderstorm complex overnight will produce additional heavy
rainfall across the area. This will further aggravate ongoing 
flooding. Expected storm total rainfall amounts of two to four 
inches will be common across the watch area with a few locations 
receiving up to eight inches of rainfall.

* Flash flooding in the Ozarks often leads to fast flowing water 
  over low water crossings and rapid rises along area creeks and 
  streams. Those driving across the region should remain alert 
  for flooded roadways, and seek a different route if flooding 
  is encountered. Campers should prepare for flooding along

...18Z AVIATION UPDATE...

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 238 AM CDT Fri Aug 4 2017

A weak upper level short wave was moving across the region early
this morning which was helping to produce a few showers across
southeastern Kansas and western Missouri. Rainfall from these
showers will be on the light side with a few hundredths up to a
tenth of an inch, though most locations will remain dry.

That wave will continue to slide to the south as unseasonable
cool surface high pressure begins to slide over the area. This
will bring very mild temperatures to the Ozarks today with most
highs today only climbing into middle 70s to near 80 degrees.

The surface high will be directly overhead tonight with clear
skies and cool temperatures expected. Overnight lows will fall
into the 50s for much of the Ozarks. For this time of year this is
unusual but will make a great night to open the windows.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 238 AM CDT Fri Aug 4 2017

The upper level pattern will be rather active through this
weekend and next week with a modified northwest to zonal flow.
This pattern will bring the next system into the region Saturday
morning. A tightening surface gradient will develop as this next
system squeezes today's surface high to the east. This will bring
showers and scattered storms to the area for much of the day
Saturday into Sunday.

There is some concern looking at ensemble GFS and ECMWF
precipitation data for some heavy rainfall across locations north
of I-44 through this period. This will be highly dependent on the
speed and efficiency of the system as it moves through the
region. There is quite the variance in output with the general
average rainfall amounts from 2 to 4 inches from Saturday
through Tuesday. This does not rule out some periods of heavy rain
or possible flooding. However, confidence is low currently.
Combine this with the recent dry period the area has seen and
soils and rivers can likely support some rain at this point.

The middle of next week looks quiet with high pressure once again
moving over the region though another system will quickly move
into the area for the end of next week into next weekend with more
rain expected.

This pattern will also keep the cool temperatures across the
region through next weekend with afternoon highs in the upper 70s
to lower 80s each day and overnight lows in the lower 60s at
night. For the beginning of August, it sure looks more like late
September or early October instead.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday afternoon)
Issued at 1142 AM CDT Fri Aug 4 2017

VFR conditions expected through the TAF period as high pressure
remains in control. Winds will remain out of the north with some
gusts of 10-15kts this afternoon before switching around to the
east and then south on Saturday. Mid level clouds will move into
the area during the mid morning hours Saturday. Can not rule out
a shower or thunderstorm Saturday morning however confidence is
too low at this time to include in the TAF.
