Areas affected...southwestern Missouri and vicinity

Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

Valid 151736Z - 152036Z

Summary...A nearly stationary band of convection has materialized
north through northwest of Springfield, MO with local 1-1.5
inch/hr rain rates. Some potential exists for this band to persist
for multiple hours, posing a flash flood threat.

Discussion...Over the past hour or so, an east-to-west oriented
band of deeper convection has organized just east of an MCV center
near the KS/OK/MO border region.  This band was also collocated
with weak surface convergence over the region, with low-level
southerlies over most of the Missouri Ozarks veering to easterly
low-level flow across central/west-central Missouri.  1500 J/kg
SBCAPE values and 1.6 inch PW values were promoting heavier rain
rates with deeper convection along this confluence axis.  These
rates were approaching local FFG thresholds near 1.5 inch/hr -
suggestive of an increasing flash flood threat in the short term.

Over the next 2-3 hours, this band should move slowly, with local
influences from cold pool generation playing a key role in the
ultimate evolution of the band.  Localized 3 inch rainfall totals
cannot be completely ruled out - especially where rainfall is most
persistent.  These totals should result in a few instances of
flash flooding especially in sensitive/low spots.
