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

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT

SCATTERED TO WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MOST OF
TONIGHT ACROSS THE ENTIRE OUTLOOK AREA. HOWEVER... THE THREAT OF

THUNDERSTORMS STILL CAN NOT BE TOTALLY RULED OUT OVER EASTERN KANSAS
AND FAR WESTERN MISSOURI... AS CONVECTION CONTINUES TO DEVELOP ACROSS
CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS... WHICH MAY MOVE EASTWARD INTO THE
FAR WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE OUTLOOK AREA. BUT THE PROBABILITY FOR
SEVERE WEATHER IS LOW AT THIS TIME.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL
MISSOURI EARLY SUNDAY. THESE ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE SEVERE.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED...BUT IS NOT LIKELY...THROUGH
MIDNIGHT TONIGHT ACROSS EASTERN KANSAS AND FAR WESTERN MISSOURI
