Please go to https://weather.gov/media/eax/DssPacket.pdf for more information on potential weather hazards. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday. Please go to https://weather.gov/media/eax/DssPacket.pdf for more information on potential weather hazards. .KEY MESSAGES... - Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected across the region this afternoon. All severe hazards will be possible, but large hail should be the primary threat soon after storm initiation while damaging winds become more probable as storms organize into clusters or lines. Isolated tornadoes cannot be ruled out, especially if storms can remain discrete. - Flash flooding and river flooding is possible this evening, as storms will be capable of producing torrential rainfall. Additionally, training storms may develop in southern portions of the forecast area, where local rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches may occur. A flood watch is in effect late this afternoon through tonight roughly along and south of I-70. - Much cooler temperatures are expected on Saturday. Temperatures may fall into the low to mid 30s on Saturday night, with areas of frost possible (up to a 50 percent chance north and east of the Missouri River).
