Brief training of 1-2 in/hr rates may produce localized 2-4 inch totals. Discussion...Regional radar imagery at 06Z showed two small clusters of thunderstorms over southern MO/northeastern AR, propagating toward the ESE, each preceded by outflow. A small bookend vortex was observed north of UNO with locally enhanced southerly flow inferred just ahead, helping to support the recent development of convection along the outflow boundary to the east, extending from Shannon County into Bollinger County, MO. Given west-east alignment of the low-level forcing with deeper layer steering flow, some training of thunderstorms is likely in the short term with rainfall rates of 1-2 in/hr for this region of southeastern MO. Farther south, southwesterly flow between 25-30 kt at 850 mb (KSRX and KLZK VAD wind plots) may help to produce new thunderstorm development over portions of northwestern AR over the next 1-2 hours within an environment characterized by MLCAPE near 2000 J/kg, PWATs near and above 1.8 inches (SPC mesoanalysis and GPS measurements) and diffluent flow aloft. Whether new development occurs upstream or not, short term training will be possible anywhere convection is able to materialize/maintain on southeastward sagging outflow that temporarily becomes aligned with the mean steering flow, supporting 1-2 in/hr rain rates. Localized storm totals of 2-4 inches may generate isolated flash flooding, especially within locations of the discussion area that have lowered FFG. Continued veering of the low level flow through 12Z per recent RAP forecasts, should limit the northward transport of moisture atop rain cooled outflow, and diminish the flash flood threat in the 10-12Z range for southern MO into northern portions of AR.
