NWS HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL PREDICTION CENTER CAMP SPRINGS MD
1000 CDT SAT SEP 9 2007

...A STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY CURRENTLY POSITIONED OVER THE
OHIO VALLEY AND EXTENDING SOUTHWESTWARD INTO NORTHERN TEXAS HAS
BEEN THE FOCUS FOR MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL OVER THE PAST
SEVERAL DAYS...

FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS ARE CURRENTLY IN EFFECT FOR PORTIONS OF
SOUTHEASTERN MISSOURI...A SMALL PORTION OF EASTERN
INDIANA...EXTREME NORTHEASTERN OHIO...AND NORTHWESTERN
PENNSYLVANIA.

FLOOD WARNINGS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR SEVERAL AREAS WHICH INCLUDE
REGIONS OF OKLAHOMA...EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS...SOUTHWESTERN
MISSOURI...AND A FEW ISOLATED REGIONS OF ARKANSAS. FARTHER
NORTH...FLOOD WARNINGS ARE ALSO IN EFFECT FOR PARTS OF WESTERN
ILLINOIS...WESTERN PORTIONS OF LOWER MICHIGAN...NORTH CENTRAL
PENNSYLVANIA...AND SOUTH CENTRAL NEW YORK. 

FLOOD WATCHES ARE IN EFFECT FOR PARTS OF THE CENTRAL U.S. WHICH
INCLUDES NORTHERN ARKANSAS...EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS...MUCH OF

HALF OF OHIO...AND NORTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA.

OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS...A FRONTAL BOUNDARY HAS REMAINED
QUASI-STATIONARY ACROSS MUCH OF THE OHIO VALLEY....CENTRAL
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...AND CENTRAL PLAINS. THE COMBINATION OF
MOISTURE FROM THE REMAINS OF HURRICANE HENRIETTE AND THE GULF OF
MEXICO HAS ALLOWED A CONCENTRATED AREA OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO PERSIST ACROSS THIS BOUNDARY.

AT 930 PM CDT...A LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS WAS VISIBLE ACROSS THE MUCH OF THE STATIONARY
FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THE MOST CONCENTRATED AREA OF PRECIPITATION WAS
ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY WHERE MOST OF THE UPPER LEVEL ENERGY WAS
LOCATED. THE GENERAL MOTION OF THE SWATH OF RAINFALL WAS SLOWLY
DRIFTING TO THE NORTH-NORTHEAST. AREAS OF OKLAHOMA CONTINUE TO SEE
RAINFALL...BUT IT HAS DIMINISHED IN SIZE OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS.
