August 28-30���Showers and storms developed ahead of a cold front that moved from eastern Kansas into central and southern Missouri on the 28th and 29th, with additional storm Images show rainfall accumulations development on the 30th as the front shifted back to the north of the Ozarks. The heaviest rainfall occurred during the morning and afternoon of the 30th, as a mesoscale convective system that developed near Wichita during the early morning of the 30th moved slowly eastward into southeast Kansas and southwest Missouri. Repeated development of storms over the region led to rainfall accumulations in excess of four inches over portions of Stone, Christian, Cherokee and Bourbon Counties. Numerous reports of flash flooding were received in these areas.
