THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN WICHITA HAS ISSUED A

* FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL KANSAS...SOUTH 
  CENTRAL KANSAS AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS...INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING 
  AREAS...IN CENTRAL KANSAS...CHASE...MARION AND MCPHERSON. IN 
  SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS...BUTLER...COWLEY...HARPER...HARVEY...

* FROM 7 PM CDT THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING.

* NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG A FRONTAL
  BOUNDARY OVER MUCH OF THE CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS.
  RAINFALL RATES OF 1 TO 3 INCHES PER HOUR ARE POSSIBLE. THIS HIGH
  RAIN RATE IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR OVER AREAS WHICH RECEIVED 1 TO
  2.5 INCHES OF RAIN LAST NIGHT. THE POTENTIAL FOR VERY HEAVY RAIN
  FROM NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS OVER ALREADY SATURATED GROUND
  SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES THE LIKELYHOOD FOR FLASH FLOODING.

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP THAT LEAD 
TO FLASH FLOODING. FLASH FLOODING IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.
REMEMBER TO TURN AROUND...DON'T DROWN. 

YOU SHOULD MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND BE PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION
SHOULD FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS BE ISSUED.
