.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.

Weather hazards expected...

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

DISCUSSION...

There is a Slight (2/5) risk for severe weather for most of our
forecast area today. If enough instability can develop in the
wake of this mornings showers and storms, then there will be a
risk of redevelopment of thunderstorms this afternoon. Damaging
wind gusts up to 60 mph and hail to the size of half dollars will
be possible if redevelopment can occur.

Additionally, this will bring 1-2 more inches of additional
rainfall for locations east of a Neosho to Osage Beach line.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday.

Multiple storm chances return Tuesday night through Friday. Some
days may exhibit a severe threat, but exact details are uncertain
at this time. Our western counties are within a Marginal (1/5)
risk for Tuesday night and we have been mentioned in the SPC Day
4/5 outlook for Wednesday/Thursday.
