OVER 80 MPH ASSOCIATED WITH A BOWING SEGMENT. THERE HAVE BEEN
SEVERAL REPORTS OF GOLF BALL SIZE HAIL WITHIN THIS LINE OF
THUNDERSTORMS.

346 AM CDT FRI MAY 2 2008

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

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

  WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED:

  A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING WINDS IN EXCESS OF
  70MPH...HAIL TO THE SIZE OF QUARTERS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES.

  AREAS AFFECTED AND TIMING:

 A BROKEN LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXTENDING FROM
 APPLETON CITY TO JOPLIN...AND BACK INTO NORTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA
 WILL PUSH EAST THROUGH THE MORNING. THIS SHOULD AFFECT AREAS WEST
 OF HIGHWAY 65 THROUGH 5 AM...AND WILL LIKELY AFFECT AREAS ALONG
 AND WEST OF A VICHY TO AVA LINE BY 7 AM.

  DISCUSSION:

 THIS SQUALL LINE WILL BE CAPABLE OF DAMAGING WIND GUSTS IN
 EXCESS OF 70 MPH...WITH WIDESPREAD WINDS IN EXCESS OF 50 MPH.
 HAIL TO THE SIZE OF QUARTERS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES EMBEDDED
 WITHIN THE LINE WILL BE POSSIBLE. MODERATE INSTABILITY AND STRONG
 WIND SHEAR WILL MAINTAIN THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER ALONG THIS
 LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.

 STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ONGOING EARLY FRIDAY
 MORNING IN THE VICINITY OF THE HIGHWAY 65 CORRIDOR. STRONG WIND
 FIELDS ALOFT AND AN UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT
 A LINE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT.
 DAMAGING WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 70 MPH AND LARGE HAIL WILL
 CONTINUE TO BE THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER RISKS...BUT A THREAT FOR
 ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL REMAIN WITH THIS ACTIVITY.

 AS THE DAY PROGRESSES...THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE WEST TO EAST
 ACROSS THE OUTLOOK AREA. GIVEN THE EXPECTED WIND SHEAR AND
 INSTABILITY PROFILES ACROSS THE EASTERN OZARKS...IT IS POSSIBLE
 FOR THIS LINE OF STORMS TO BREAK UP INTO SEGMENTS OR EVEN
 SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS. IF THIS OCCURS...THE RISK FOR TORNADOES
 WILL INCREASE. PERSONS EAST OF THE HIGHWAY 65 CORRIDOR ARE URGED
 TO MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS REGARDING THE SEVERE WEATHER
 POTENTIAL FRIDAY. THUNDERSTORMS WILL EXIT THE OUTLOOK AREA LATE
 FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

 ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM MAY MOVE INTO THE REGION TUESDAY AND
 WEDNESDAY BRINGING ANOTHER CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

 SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL LIKELY BE NEED OVERNIGHT ACROSS
 AND EAST OF HIGHWAY 65 IN SOUTHWEST MISSOURI.
