HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO
100 PM CDT THU JUN 14 2001

...A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...

FORECAST: STRONG THUNDERSTORMS ARE DEVELOPING ALONG AND EAST OF A
COLD FRONT ACROSS EASTERN KANSAS INTO NORTHWEST MISSOURI.  A FEW OF
THESE STORMS MAY BECOME SEVERE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING DUE TO
STORM INTERACTIONS AND AFTERNOON HEATING.  THE SEVERE THREAT
FROM THESE STORMS WILL BE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS.  HEAVY RAIN
WILL ALSO BE A POSSIBILITY AS STORMS TRAIN ACROSS THE SAME AREAS.

DISCUSSION: A LINE OF STRONG STORMS HAS FORMED ACROSS EASTERN KANSAS
INTO NORTHWEST MISSOURI.  THUNDERSTORMS WHICH MOVED ACROSS NORTHERN
MISSOURI THIS MORNING AND CLOUD COVER FROM A LARGE COMPLEX OF STORMS
OVER SOUTHEAST KANSAS HAS HELPED TO STABILIZE THE
ATMOSPHERE...REDUCING THE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER.  SOME STORMS
MAY BE SEVERE HOWEVER DUE TO STORM INTERACTIONS AND THE POTENTIAL
FOR HEATING IN PLACES WHERE THE CLOUD COVER THINS OUT THIS
AFTERNOON.

HEAVY RAIN MAY BE AN ADDITIONAL THREAT THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS
THUNDERSTORMS TRAIN ACROSS THE SAME AREAS WHILE THE LINE TRANSLATES
SLOWLY EAST.  SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE REQUIRED THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING SHOULD THE STORMS BECOME MORE ORGANIZED.

OUTLOOK: THE NEXT CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY. AT THIS TIME...THE SEVERE POTENTIAL LOOKS TO BE MINIMAL.
