THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHWEST...NORTH CENTRAL AND
WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI...AS WELL AS EXTREME EASTERN KANSAS.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT

THERE REMAINS A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THIS
EVENING ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND NORTHERN MISSOURI. LARGE HAIL
AND DAMAGING WINDS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH THIS EVENING BUT STORMS WILL
EVENTUALLY BECOME A HEAVY RAIN AND FLOODING THREAT DURING THE LATE

FLOODING...PARTICULARLY IF STORMS CAN TRAIN OVER THE SAME AREAS. THE
MOST LIKELY AREAS TO SEE SEVERE WEATHER AND FLOODING WILL BE
GENERALLY NORTH OF THE MISSOURI RIVER AND ALONG AND SOUTH OF HIGHWAY
36 IN NORTHERN MISSOURI.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

ANOTHER COLD FRONT AND STRONG UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM WILL MOVE INTO THE
AREA THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT WITH A BETTER CHANCE FOR
THUNDERSTORMS. SEVERE WEATHER AND HEAVY RAINFALL ARE POSSIBLE.
