Evening Update

**FLOODING IS A BIG CONCEARN IN NORTHERN MISSOURI AS THERE HAS BEEN EXCESSIVE RAINFALL DUE TO TRAINING THUNDERSTORMS. ESTIMATED PRECIP SHOWS OVER 6 INCHES IN SOME LOCATIONS**

The showers and thunderstorms will continue in nothern Missouri and eastern Kansas, but should remain under severe limits. An outflow boundary from the storms that pushed through northern Missouri earlier today has moved southward, just north of Kansas City. Showers and thunderstorms are firing along and north of this boundary. I think they should remain where they are overnight, but what about tomorrow?

Well this boundary should become the new front, but I thinkit will be a little further north by morning than the current boundary. The conditions are all coming together for a wet and stormy Tuesday. I think heavy rains and flooding will be the biggest concearn, but I wouldnt rule out some severe weather. 1-2+ inches of rain may be possible in some locations. Highs tomorrow will be in the low to mid 80's, so another very warm day.

The cold front will be slowly saging south throughout the day Thuesday, and by Wednesday, the front will have passed through much of the area leaving up with a much cooler day with highs in the 60's. But the main storm sysem which moved out of Colorado will be moving out ahead of the front. This will create some showers, most likley in the morning.

After a pretty dry May, many lawns should get a decent drink. I will have an update tomorrow on the rainy start to the week.
