This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of the Missouri
Ozarks and extreme southeast Kansas.

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight.

Weather hazards expected...

  Limited tornado risk.
  Elevated thunderstorm wind damage risk.
  Limited flooding risk.
  Limited lightning risk.
  Limited fog risk.

DISCUSSION...

  Another round of moderate to locally heavy rainfall will
  move through the area this afternoon into this evening. The
  heaviest rainfall will be across southern Missouri. This
  additional rainfall occurring on already saturated grounds
  will lead to an additional risk for flooding of low water
  crossings and low lying spots, as rises on area creeks,
  streams, and rivers occur.

  Scattered thunderstorms will also develop as a cold front
  moves through the area. A few severe storms will be possible
  this afternoon and evening across primarily south-central
  Missouri. The primary concern with any severe storms will be
  damaging straight line winds. An isolated tornado may also be
  possible.

  Patchy dense fog will occur in low areas across southern and
  central Missouri through through the afternoon.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday.

  Scattered thunderstorm may be possible again towards the middle
  of next week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

  Spotter activation will not be needed through tonight.
