Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible Valid 102200Z - 110300Z SUMMARY...Expanding cluster of thunderstorms appear slow to move at the apex of stronger moisture flux. Increasingly efficient downdrafts could result in localized 2-4" and possible flash flooding condition through the evening. DISCUSSION...RADAR and GOES-E visible and EIR loops depict cluster of thunderstorms over Northwest KS continue to grow and expand with cell mergers, including upstream redevelopment. Strong directional moisture convergence where above normal upper 50s to low 60s Tds are advected on easterly flow just north of the eastern edge of a narrow dryline bulge along the CO/KS border.=20 Strengthening southeasterly winds are dry but moistening but intersecting at an oblique angle to result in strong moisture convergence to further expand the convective complex centered in Thomas county. Additionally, GOES-E WV depicts strong undercutting/negative-tilt shortwave across NM, while eastern periphery of the tropical feature over the southern Plains suggests solid diffluence for effective outflow to maintain/strengthen the complex. While mid-levels have steeper lapse rates, likely evaporating some of the moisture or increasing hail production, cell mergers and very slow propagation toward the north and east, duration of 1.5"/hr rates may support localized 2-3" totals across NW KS, eventually sliding northward into SW NEB. This falls in line with recent WoFS runs with those totals between the 50th and 90th percentiles. Additionaly, this north and eastward trend would place the complex in proximity to lower FFG, generally between 2-3" in 1 to 3hrs along and south of the Platte River Valley. As such flash flooding is considered possible through this evening into the early overnight hours.
