HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO
100 PM CDT SAT AUG 30 2003

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR THE MISSOURI OZARKS AND EXTREME
SOUTHEAST KANSAS.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

 WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED:

 SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...CAPABLE OF
 PRODUCING TORRENTIAL RAINFALL WITH LOCALIZED AMOUNTS OF 1 TO
 3 INCHES POSSIBLE.

 AREAS AFFECTED AND TIMING:

 ALL OF THE MISSOURI OZARKS AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS THROUGH TONIGHT.

 DISCUSSION:

 A LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUED TO
 MOVE NORTHWARD ACROSS SOUTHWEST AND CENTRAL MISSOURI THIS
 AFTERNOON. THIS CLUSTER OF STORMS DUMPED IN EXCESS OF FOUR INCHES
 OF RAIN EARLIER THIS MORNING OVER SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI...AND HAS
 SATURATED THE SOILS ACROSS THE REGION.

 THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING...SCATTERED STORMS WILL
 REDEVELOP OVER SOUTHERN MISSOURI AND EVOLVE INTO ANOTHER CLUSTER OF
 STORMS TONIGHT...AS AN UPPER LEVEL AREA OF LOW PRESSURE INTERACTS
 WITH THE VERY MOIST AIRMASS...AND A STATIONARY FRONT AT THE
 SURFACE.

 REPEATED MOVEMENT OF STORMS OVER ALREADY SATURATED GROUND WILL
 LEAD TO AN INCREASED FLOOD THREAT THROUGH TONIGHT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

 AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVES EAST OF THE OZARKS ON SUNDAY...A
 TROPICAL DISTURBANCE OVER THE NORTHERN GULF COAST WILL
 MOVE NORTHWARD INTO TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA...SPREADING EVEN MORE DEEP
 TROPICAL MOISTURE INTO THE OZARKS REGION. THUS...THE THREAT FOR
 FLOODING WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA SUNDAY AND POSSIBLY
 INTO MONDAY.

 IN ADDITION TO THE FLOOD THREAT...VERTICAL WIND PROFILES WILL
 BECOME INCREASINGLY FAVORABLE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF LOW-TOPPED
 SUPERCELLS OVER SOUTHERN MISSOURI ON SUNDAY. IF SUFFICIENT SUNSHINE
 BREAKS THROUGH DURING THE DAY...THEN THERE WILL EXIST THE THREAT
 FOR ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH A FEW BRIEF TORNADOES
 POSSIBLE.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

 SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED THROUGH TONIGHT. HOWEVER...
 SPOTTERS AND WEATHER OBSERVERS ARE ASKED TO CONTINUE REPORTING
 RAINFALL TOTALS TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALONG WITH ANY
 OBSERVED FLOODING.
