...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...

A VERY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE WAS LOCATED ACROSS ALL OF SOUTHWEST AND
CENTRAL MISSOURI EARLY THIS AFTERNOON.  DEW POINTS THROUGHOUT THE AREA
WERE IN THE LOW TO MID 70S WITH A SURFACE TROUGH LOCATED ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN PORTION OF MISSOURI.  A COOL FRONT WAS LOCATED ACROSS THE
NORTHERN PORTION OF THE STATE AND WAS BECOMING NEARLY STATIONARY THERE.

WARM TEMPERATURES WERE LOCATED IN THE MIDDLE PORTION OF THE ATMOSPHERE
AND WAS KEEPING ANY THUNDERSTORMS FROM FORMING ACROSS THE AREA.  THE
MID LEVELS SHOULD REMAIN WARM THROUGH TONIGHT BUT WITH SUCH AN UNSTABLE
ATMOSPHERE AND PLENTY OF MOISTURE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

WHILE WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS NOT EXPECTED...A FEW STORMS
MAY DEVELOP AND MAY BECOME SEVERE.  THE MAIN THREAT WITH THE STORMS
THAT DEVELOP WOULD BE WITH LARGE HAIL AND STRONG WINDS.

THIS THREAT FOR SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND NIGHTTIME THUNDERSTORMS WILL
CONTINUE UNTIL A COLD FRONT CAN PUSH THROUGH THE AREA AND HELP
STABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE WITH COOLER TEMPERATURES AND LOWER DEW POINTS.

SPOTTERS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE NEEDED TODAY OR TONIGHT...HOWEVER IF
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP THEY SHOULD BE READY TO BE CALLED INTO ACTION.
