...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR SOUTHWEST MISSOURI...
...MORE THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED OVER MUCH OF THE STATE...

THE NATIONAL SEVERE STORMS FORECAST CENTER HAS ISSUED A SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF MISSOURI.  A
THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX IS EXPECTED TO SLIDE OUT OF KANSAS AND PRODUCE
HEAVY RAINS...POSSIBLY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND TO THAT AREA OF
THE STATE.

ALSO...PART OF THE THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX IS DEVELOPING TOWARD EAST
CENTRAL KANSAS AND WEST CENTRAL MISSSOURI.  THE AIR IS VERY MOIST AND
UNSTABLE OVER THE AREA AND THERE IS ALSO A LEFTOVER THUNDERSTORM
BOUNDARY THAT STRETCHES ACROSS MISSOURI TO JUST SOUTH OF ST LOUIS.
THIS COMBINATION SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO IGNITE A NUMBER OF THUNDERSTORMS
OVER MUCH OF WEST...CENTRAL AND EVENTUALLY EAST CENTRAL MISSOURI.
THIS MAY PUT A DAMPER ON SOME OF THE SCHEDULED HOLIDAY ACTIVITIES
TODAY SUCH AS THE V.P. FAIR ACTIVITIES IN ST LOUIS.  INTERESTED
PERSONS SHOULD MONITOR COMMERCIAL TELEVISION AND RADIO STATIONS OR
LISTEN TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO FOR UPDATED FORECASTS...RADAR SUMMARIES
OR SPECIAL STATEMENTS.

SOME OF THESE STORMS MAY PRODUCE STRONG WINDS...HEAVY RAIN...HAIL AND
INTENSE LIGHTNING.
