  GUSTS WITH THIS ACTIVITY. OF HIGHEST CONCERN IS THE RISK FOR
  FLASH FLOODING...ESPECIALLY ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL MISSOURI
  AND THE EASTERN OZARKS...WHERE A BAND OF TORRENTIAL RAINFALL SET
  UP OVERNIGHT. WITH ADDITIONAL RAINFALL ONGOING...THIS WILL ONLY
  AGGRAVATE AN ALREADY SERIOUS FLASH FLOODING SITUATION.

  A FRONT WILL SAG SOUTHWARD INTO THE REGION TODAY AND CONDITIONS
  WILL REMAIN UNSETTLED. WITH A WARM AND MOIST AIRMASS IN PLACE...
  INSTABILITY WILL RECOVER THROUGHOUT THE DAY. AS A RESULT
  REDEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE

  ACROSS KANSAS AND MOVE INTO THE OUTLOOK AREA DURING THE
  OVERNIGHT HOURS. THERE IS A RISK OF LOCALIZED DAMAGING WIND
  GUSTS WITH THIS ACTIVITY ACROSS PORTIONS OF EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN
  KANSAS AND FAR WESTERN MISSOURI. OF UTMOST CONCERN WILL BE
  ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL LEADING TO A RENEWED RISK FOR FLASH
  FLOODING AREA WIDE.

  WITH SATURATED SOILS ACROSS THE REGION...FLASH FLOODING IS
  LIKELY WHEREVER THUNDERSTORMS DO DEVELOP. AREAS THAT NORMALLY
  DO NOT FLOOD WILL BE AT RISK FOR FLOODING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.

  THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE ONGOING FIRST THING
  THURSDAY MORNING. IF ENOUGH INSTABILITY CAN REDEVELOP AHEAD OF
  THESE STORMS ACROSS THE MISSOURI OZARKS...THERE WILL BE A RISK
  FOR DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. UNSETTLED WEATHER IS EXPECTED FOR THE
  REMAINDER OF THE WEEK AS A FRONT SETTLES JUST TO THE SOUTH OF
  THE AREA. HEAVY RAINFALL IS ONCE AGAIN EXPECTED AND THE RISK FOR
  FLASH FLOODING WILL REMAIN SIGNIFICANT.

  AFTERNOON HEAT INDEX VALUES MAY REACH THE MID TO UPPER 90S ON A
  DAILY BASIS THIS WEEK ACROSS EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS AND
