    Areas affected...southern Missouri, northeastern Arkansas, far
    southeastern Kansas

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding likely

    Valid 090942Z - 091500Z

    Summary...Another 2-4 inches of rainfall is expected through 15Z
    across southern Missouri this morning. Areas of flash flooding
    (locally significant) remain likely.

    Discussion...A mature MCS continues to make its way through the
    discussion are this morning. Scattered to numerous thunderstorms
    continue with a warm-advection regime downstream of a surging
    linear segment near Pittsburg, Kansas, with heavy rain and areas
    of 2 inch/hr rain rates noted from Nevada to Bolivar to West
    Plains. The aforementioned axis was oriented favorably for
    training while embedded in a steep-lapse-rate (~7-7.5 C/km)
    environment with abundant moisture (2+ inch PW values).
    Convergence on the nose of 30-kt westerly 850mb flow also
    continues to support ongoing activity, and multiple cell mergers
    were noted per radar mosaic imagery over the past hour or so.

    Models/observations continue to support a west-to-east translation
    of ongoing convection over the next few hours, with heavy rainfall
    (and local 2+ inch/hr rain rates continuing). 2-4 inch totals are
    also likely through 15Z with this activity. There is a risk of
    training convection eventually making it to southeast Missouri/far
    northeastern Arkansas during this timeframe as well. The back end
    of the heavier rainfall will likely approach the region from the
    west in tandem with a convectively induced mid-level shortwave
    trough currently centered near Hutchinson. On its current trek,
    the trough should clear most of the discussion area, reaching
    the Jefferson City area by mid-morning (around 15Z).
