HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO
600 AM CDT THU JUN 14 2001

...THERE IS A RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TODAY THROUGH THIS
EVENING...

FORECAST: THROUGH THE MORNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE
MAINLY WEST OF AN I35 LINE.  THE MAIN THREAT FROM THESE STORMS WILL
BE LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...VERY HEAVY RAINFALL AND FREQUENT
LIGHTNING. FROM LATE MORNING INTO THE EVENING HOURS...THIS ACTIVITY
WILL SHIFT EAST OF AN I35 LINE.

DISCUSSION: A LINE OF STRONG STORMS HAS FORMED OVER THE HIGH PLAINS
THIS MORNING...MOVING NORTHEAST INTO EXTREME NORTHEAST KANSAS AND
NORTHWEST MISSOURI. THEY ARE AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT AND STRONG
SURFACE LOW. AS THESE STORMS PROPAGATE TO THE EAST...THEY WILL
PRODUCE BOUNDARIES...IN ADDITION TO THE SURFACE FRONT...WHICH WILL
BE THE FOCUS FOR MORE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON. THE SYSTEM WILL
EXIT THE REGION DURING THE EVENING HOURS...WHICH WILL EFFECTIVELY
END THE ACTIVITY.

OUTLOOK: THE NEXT CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY. AT THIS TIME...THE SEVERE POTENTIAL LOOKS TO BE MINIMAL.
