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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.

Weather hazards expected...

 Limited tornado risk.
 Limited hail risk.
 Limited thunderstorm wind damage risk.
 Elevated lightning risk.
 Elevated excessive rainfall risk.
 Elevated non thunderstorm wind risk.

DISCUSSION...

A line of storms will be ongoing across the area Friday morning.
Damaging wind gusts and small hail will be possible with this
activity. This line will slowly progress eastward and train,
creating a flooding risk. Some re-development/intensification
within this line is possible across south-central MO with the
threat for damaging winds, hail up to the size of golf balls, and
a tornado or two.

A secondary threat for severe weather then exists in extreme
southeast Kansas late this afternoon into the early evening. If
storms form, they will likely be quite isolated, but capable of
producing hail up to the size of golf balls, damaging wind gusts,
and potentially tornadoes.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday.

There is currently a Slight (2/5) risk for severe weather
Saturday with an Enhanced (3/5) risk for our Kansas counties
Saturday. There is a Slight (2/5) risk for severe weather Sunday
as well. All hazards will be possible for both days.

Heavy rainfall will also be possible with the storms and could
lead to a localized flooding risk through the weekend. Portions
of our CWA are in a Slight (2/4) risk for excessive rainfall and
flooding through Sunday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

 Spotter activation may be needed later today or tonight for
southeast Kansas and southern Missouri.
