...FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 745 AM CDT THIS 
MORNING FOR SOUTHWESTERN ALLEN, NORTHWESTERN NEOSHO, NORTHERN WILSON 
AND SOUTHERN WOODSON COUNTIES...

At 229 AM CDT, Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms producing heavy 
rain across the warned area. Between 3 and 8 inches of rain have 
fallen so far. Additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are 
possible in the warned area overnight. Flash flooding is a strong 
possibility.

HAZARD...Life threatening flash flooding. Thunderstorms producing
         flash flooding.

SOURCE...Radar.

IMPACT...Life threatening flash flooding of creeks and streams,
         urban areas, highways, low-water crossing, low-lying
         areas, streets and underpasses.

Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
  Chanute, Humboldt, Yates Center, Toronto, Buffalo, Benedict, 
  Earlton, Rose, Chanute Airport, Petrolia, Batesville, Toronto Lake 
  and Cross Timbers State Park.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Do not drive into flooded areas or go around barricades. Nearly two 
feet of water will carry most vehicles away. Turn around, don't 
drown.

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the 
dangers of flooding.

Stay away or be swept away. River banks and culverts can become 
unstable and unsafe.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wichita KS
1136 PM CDT Wed Jul 12 2023

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday night)
Issued at 329 PM CDT Wed Jul 12 2023

Low level flow has recovered in the wake of the morning mesoscale
outflow which moved through southern Kansas. Somewhat better
convergence is expected to develop from central Kansas into
eastern Kansas this evening where MLcape values in excess of 4000
j/kg will reside. There is still some inhibition to overcome,
though still a conditional chance for severe convection given the
impressive mid-Summer bulk shear across the area. If so, this may
evolve into a MCS affecting primarily the Flint Hills and
southeast Kansas through early tonight. Still a potentially active
west-northwesterly flow regime through Friday, though somewhat
dependent on potential mesoscale eventualities each day. For
Thursday, the effective surface front should be situated closer to
the Oklahoma border in far southern Kansas. Low level moisture
pooling and daytime heating will result in very unstable airmass
again, though mid-level temperatures look rather warm and may
effectively cap diurnal convection. That said, will keep mention
along the Oklahoma border counties. Better chances for something
more organized looks to come out of the high Plains Thursday
evening, then tracking southeastward into parts of southern Kansas
Thursday night. This scenario expected to repeat Friday/Friday
night, though area of concern is somewhat in flux, though much of
the forecast seems in play. The upper flow pattern becomes more
amplified by Saturday with upper ridge over the western conus and
deeper upper low/trof from Lake Winnipeg Canada area across the
Upper Midwest to the lower Ohio Valley. Somewhat drier, less
unstable air looks to advect over the area, so while non-zero,
PoP chances appear lower for now over much of the area.

Darmofal

.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Wednesday)
Issued at 329 PM CDT Wed Jul 12 2023

An elongated upper ridge looks to slide eastward from the
Southwest conus across the southern Plains into early next week.
Temperatures should average either side of climo with modest
precip chances, though confidence on daily trends are rather low
at the moment.

KED

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday night)
Issued at 1136 PM CDT Wed Jul 12 2023

IFR conditions will be possible at KCNU due to storms. VFR
conditions are expected elsewhere.

A complex of storms is moving southeast and will likely impact site
KCNU sometime between 06z and 08z. IFR conditions will be possible
with periods of heavy rain.

There is a slight risk for thunderstorms Thursday afternoon for the
Oklahoma border counties of southern Kansas. If so, they may become
severe capable of large hail and damaging winds.

Periodic chances for thunderstorms will exist Thursday night
through Friday night. There will be a risk for strong to severe
