  Limited tornado risk.
  Limited hail risk.
  Elevated thunderstorm wind damage risk.
  Limited lightning risk.

  Widespread showers and thunderstorms will impact the region

  in areas west of highway 65.

  A few strong to severe storms will be possible early this morning
  over southwest Missouri. Damaging wind gusts in excess of 60 mph

  hail to the size of quarters and an isolated tornado. This threat
  then will shift eastward into the eastern Ozarks from mid morning
  through the afternoon hours.
