    Areas affected...Eastern Kansas into Missouri

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

    Valid 111201Z - 111600Z

    Summary...Development ahead of an MCS allows a flash flood risk to
    persist this morning over southeast Kansas into western Missouri.

    Discussion...The MCS that crossed southern Kansas overnight has
    seen renewed growth over southeast KS with a left book end vortex
    turning into an MCV near Emporia. Currently activity that
    developed near Chanute is now having the MCS cross which raises a
    localized flash flood concern. An axis of high moisture with some
    instability extending east into Missouri poses a possible flash
    flood risk rest of this morning as the MCS progresses east.

    SWly 850mb flow of 25-30kt is forecast by the RAP to persist ahead
    of the MCS into western MO through 14Z. This will maintain PW
    around 2". MUCAPE is a bit lacking ahead of the MCS generally
    between 500-1000 J/kg, but given recent upward trends, there may
    be sufficient instability to allow further growth. Furthermore,
    areas ahead of the MCS along the KS/MO line have lowered FFG of
    1.5/hr given heavy rain yesterday. Flash flooding is considered
    possible over the rest of southeastern KS south of the KC metro
    into western MO and this activity will continue to be monitored.
