Tracking mid-week showers and t-storms, locally heavy rainfall

Rounds of shower and thunderstorm activity will continue to push through Northwest Missouri and Northeast Kansas Wednesday evening through early Thursday morning, as a stalled front remains draped across the region. Locally heavy rainfall is possible overnight, especially along I-35 and south of the Highway 36 corridor. A Flood Watch has been issued along and east of a line from Platte, Buchanan, and Dekalb counties from 8 P.M. Wednesday through 10 A.M. Thursday. Cloudy skies and early morning showers will give way to peaks of sunshine Thursday afternoon, with highs in the low to mid 80s. A warming trend will return Friday and continue through the weekend, with highs eventually returning to the 90s and more sunshine on the way.
