Weak, low amplitude southwest flow short wave kicked out of Missouri during the day. A 50 knot southwesterly low level jet developed Friday evening and resulted in continued warm/moist advection in pre-frontal environment.  Upper level jet dynamics also became more favorable by Friday evening in broad right entrance region of upper level jet.  PWATs again with this event were highly anomalous for late September, in the 1.75-2 inch range. While several rainfall reports in the two to four inch range were common across parts of the area, recent dry conditions help limit some of the flash flood threat.
