Update... 
have updated Flash Flood Watch to begin at 7 PM this evening and 
have also added a few more counties. Short wave seen on visible 
satellite moving across Iowa and northern MO producing stratiform 
rain over portions of southern Iowa. Low level flow is weak and have 
not had any lightning. Plenty of cloud cover also keeping airmass 
from destabilizing. Therefore the threat of heavy rain has 
diminished for this afternoon. However with rain area moving 
northeast into parts of the dvn County Warning Area and breaks in the clouds will 
continue with likely probability of precipitation for showers and a few thunderstorms. 
Also any leftover boundaries may ignite some convection. 


Widespread two to four inches of rain fell last evening in our 
northwest and western County Warning Area. Flash flood guidance values are less 
than 2 inches. Another short wave seen to the west in South Dakota continues 
to generate an area of thunderstorms as it heads in our direction. 
With the short wave tonight and low level jet intensifying the 
threat of heavy rain and flash flooding will increase. Airmass 
very moist with precipitable waters over 2 inches which is over 150 
percent of normal. Deep moisture in the column will support 
torrential rains. 


&& 


Aviation... 
MVFR conditions occurring at kcid and kdbq where ground is moist 
from last nights rains. These sites will have occasional broken MVFR ceilings 
this afternoon. Kmli and kbrl will have VFR conditions with middle and 
high level clouds. An area of showers and a few storms will be 
over the region this afternoon with a larger area of thunderstorms 
developing this evening and overnight.
