THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF THE MISSOURI

DISCUSSION...

  SOUTHERLY WINDS COULD GUST TO NEAR 30 MPH THIS AFTERNOON
  ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS INTO WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI.

  ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL IMPACT THE
  OUTLOOK AREA THIS AFTERNOON ESPECIALLY FOR AREAS EAST OF
  HIGHWAY 65. SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED...HOWEVER THE
  STRONGEST STORMS COULD PRODUCE FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND

  A ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS IS THEN EXPECTED LATER THIS
  EVENING AND OVERNIGHT AS STORMS MOVE OUT OF KANSAS AND
  OKLAHOMA. A FEW STRONG STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH HAIL
  UP TO THE SIZE OF NICKELS AND WIND GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

  MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED FRIDAY THROUGH
  EARLY MONDAY MORNING. A FEW ROUNDS OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
  WILL BE POSSIBLE. AT THIS TIME...THE GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR
  SEVERE STORMS APPEARS AS IF IT WILL OCCUR FROM LATE SUNDAY
  AFTERNOON INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. ADDITIONALLY...HEAVY RAINFALL
  COULD RESULT IN THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALIZED FLOODING.

  THERE IS THEN A CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN AROUND THE
  MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
