METRO KANSAS CITY BREAKING WEATHER: FLASH FLOODING THREAT HIGH

This especially applies in a general west-northwest to east-southeast band from southern Jefferson- northern Douglas - southern Leavenworth and northern Johnson counties in Kansas- and the southern 2/3 of Jackson into northern Cass counties Missouri.

Even the radar-indicated precip totals image underestimates actual rainfall amounts- now near - 2.95 inches here in S.E. KC-MO- to exceeding 3 inches- Johnson Drive and K-7 3.05 inches. Turkey and Indian Creeks were running full and rising in Johnson County Kansas.

With soils in these areas now at satuation from this event and rains over the past 2 weeks- the worry is more- possible heavy rain-producing storms moving in.

At this time- radar loops indicate light to occasional heavy rains will continue for at least the next 2 hours.
