LATEST REGIONAL RADARS SHOW BACK EDGE OF PRECIPITATION WAS JUST ABOUT TO MOVE INTO OUR SOUTHEAST KANSAS COUNTIES. WAS CONTEMPLATING ISSUING A FLOOD WATCH FOR TODAY...BUT WITH ENOUGH MID LEVEL DRYING TO STOP RAINFALL SPREADING INTO THE THE AREA FROM THE WEST...OPTED NOT TO ISSUE. EXPECT TO CONTINUE SEEING SOME LOCALIZED FLOODING OVER OUR SOUTHWEST COUNTIES THIS MORNING WITH HEAVIER STORMS OVER MCDONALD/NEWTON COUNTIES...BUT OVERALL RAINFALL RATES HAVE AVERAGED LESS THAN A QUARTER INCH PER HOUR...AND EXPECT THIS TREND TO CONTINUE. STILL LOOKS LIKE AN OUTSIDE CHANCE FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS LATER TODAY...ESPECIALLY OVER OUR EXTREME WESTERN COUNTIES WHERE THE BEST CHANCES FOR AFTERNOON HEATING WILL DEVELOP.

FOR THE 1200 UTC TAFS...STEADY RAIN WILL BE EAST OF SGF/JLN TERMINALS BY BEGINNING OF THIS TAF CYCLE. BASED ON OBS IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE HOLE IN THE STRATUS IS FILLING IN BEHIND THE RAIN WITH MVFR CIGS COMMON. RAINFALL HAS HELPED SATURATE LOW LEVELS AND CONTINUED MOISTURE ADVECTION TODAY WILL PROBABLY ALLOW CIGS TO BUILD DOWN TO IFR LATER THIS MORNING. PERIODIC DRIZZLE OR MIST CAN BE EXPECTED TODAY WITH VIS GENERALLY MVFR BUT COULD DIP TO IFR AT TIMES WITH HEAVIER DRIZZLE. AS SURFACE LOW MOVES BY LATER THIS AFTERNOON CIGS WILL PROBABLY LIFT TO MVFR. ANTICIPATE STRATUS TO HANG ON TONIGHT ANYTHING MORE THAN SOME LIGHT BR TONIGHT.
