MISSOURI AHEAD OF THE FRONT.

THUNDERSTORMS HAD RAPIDLY DEVELOPED AND INTENSIFIED ALONG THE APPROACHING
COLD FRONT FROM WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI INTO SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS.
THESE STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO CONGEAL AND MOVE FAIRLY RAPIDLY TO
THE EAST. THESE STORMS WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY SURFACE BASED AND
TAP INTO MODERATE INSTABILITY OF NEAR 2500 J/KG OF CAPE. NEARLY
UNIDIRECTIONAL DEEP LAYER WIND FIELD AND INCREASING DEEP LAYER
SHEAR WILL SUPPORT THE POTENTIAL OF DAMAGING WINDS. REPORTS FROM
SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS INDICATE GUSTS UP TO 68 KTS AT COFFEYVILLE. IN
ADDITION HEIGHT FALLS AND STEEPENING LAPSE RATES WILL SUPPORT THE
POTENTIAL OF LARGE HAIL. HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF TENNIS BALLS HAVE
BEEN REPORTED IN SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS.

ADDITIONAL SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ACROSS
SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI AHEAD OF A MINOR SHORTWAVE.

RAIN AND LIGHTNING WILL PERSIST INTO THE EVENING HOURS BEHIND THE
