.Discussion...
Issued at 330 AM CDT FRI JUL 31 2020

A near vertically stacked low over western Missouri developed
a mesoscale band of heavy rain that dropped 6 to 8" of rainfall over
Johnson Co MO overnight. This low is just now starting to fill and
slowly drift to the south, providing some relief to that hard hit
region. We may continue to see more flooding in Bates and Henry
Counties in the next few hours as this features pushes south, with 1-
2" per hour rates still occurring. By sunrise the heavier rainfall
should slip just south of our area with light to moderate rain
before finally exiting down towards Springfield by late morning.
Multiple road closures have occurred in that area south of HWY 50
and we'd expected more to pop up once it becomes more light outside.
Anybody traveling south of HWY 50 will need to be prepared to find
alternate routes and remember to turn around don't down, especially
in Johnson(MO) and Henry Counties. Rivers in these areas are also
rising quickly, so people need to use caution near creeks and rivers
today, as they will be above their respective banks in places. By
the afternoon all of the heavy rain will be south of the area, but a
few isolated showers may develop over NE Kansas and NW Missouri as
an area of thicker stratocumulus clouds form up along an area of low
level convergence. These showers will not produce much rainfall, but
may cause brief periods of light to moderate rain before dissipating
with sunset.

Another shortwave trough will approach the area from the north
Saturday evening. This will bring a weak cold front through Sunday
increasing the PoP chances throughout the day. There may be just
enough MLCAPE to produce some scattered thunderstorms during the
afternoon over central MO, but severe weather is not expected. High
pressure will quickly build into the region Monday into Tuesday with
northerly flow at almost all levels. This will bring noticeably
cooler and drier air into the area with highs only in the 70s and
dewpoints in the 50s. The nice fall like weather will not last too
long as ridging and WAA start to build back into the area Wednesday
night. A nocturnal LLJ associated with a warm front will help spark
elevated convection Thursday morning with dewpoints climbing back up
into the 60s by the afternoon with highs returning to the lower 80s.
Models are not all in agreement on how active the warm front will be
as it pushes through with the GFS being the most aggressive leaving
some uncertainty going into the end of the week.

.Aviation...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday Night)
Issued at 1115PM CDT THU JUL 30 2020

The low pressure system which has been hanging out in the region
is slowly making its turn toward the south. Rain hangs around for
the next several hours as a MCV intensifies SE of the KC Metro and
moves westward into the area. Low ceilings and reduced
visibilities are expected to continue for airports within the
region. MVFR conditions should prevail with patchy IFR conditions
expected in areas of heavy precipitation and/or BR development.

Due to the placement of the low pressure system and some
associated MCV's, varied impacts are expected for area airports:

STJ: Showers are expected to move south from the airport, but
should still remain in the southern vicinity until early Friday
AM.

MCI, MKC, & IXD: Showers are expected to move in from the east.
The leading edge of this area has the potential for some gusty
winds. Lowered ceilings and reduced visibilities similar to what
was experienced earlier Thursday evening.

The entire system is expected to sag south Friday morning with
VFR conditions returning Friday after sunrise for STJ and
afternoon for the remainder of the aerodromes. VFR conditions
will persist through the remainder of the forecast period.
