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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.

Weather hazards expected...

  Elevated tornado risk.
  Elevated hail risk.
  Elevated thunderstorm wind damage risk.
  Elevated flooding risk.
  Significant lightning risk.
  Limited non thunderstorm wind risk.

DISCUSSION...

  Gusty southerly winds will develop today behind a passing
  warm front with gusts of 25 to 35 mph expected.

  Scattered thunderstorms are expected this morning,
  especially across southeastern Kansas and western Missouri.
  A few of these storms may produce hail to the size of
  quarters and locally damaging wind gusts.

  Thunderstorms will then increase in coverage this afternoon
  and early this this evening, including the potential for
  supercell thunderstorms. Hail up to two inches in diameter,
  damaging wind gusts, and tornadoes will be possible with any
  supercells. The threat for supercell tornadoes will become
  elevated from late this afternoon into this evening as low
  level wind shear increases.

  The thunderstorms are then expected to congeal into a squall
  line this evening and push east across the area from later
  this evening into the overnight period. This will include a
  threat for damaging winds to 70 mph and tornadoes. Portions
  of the squall line which bow out towards the northeast will
  have an enhanced tornado threat.

  An elevated threat for flash flooding exists for today and
  tonight as multiple rounds of heavy rainfall are expected.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday.

  The potential for severe thunderstorms and flooding will
  then continue into Wednesday and Wednesday night. This
  includes the potential for large hail, damaging winds, and
  isolated tornadoes. Details regarding the location and
  timing of these potential hazards will become better known
  later today and tonight.

  The risk for thunderstorms will then persist into Thursday
  and Friday. The potential for severe storms and flooding is
  unclear at this time. There are then limited chances for
  thunderstorms early next week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

  Spotter activation may be needed today and tonight across the
  entire outlook area.

Flash flood watch issued for Jasper, Newton, Barton, Dade counties, heavy rainfall expected

...Multiple Rounds of Heavy Rainfall Expected this Week...

.A nearly stationary frontal boundary in combination with
multiple disturbances will result in several rounds of showers
and thunderstorms. Heavy rainfall rates are expected with some of
these storms due to high amounts of Gulf of Mexico moisture
streaming north into the region. This will increase the risk for
flash flooding.

  following areas, in southeast Kansas, Bourbon, Cherokee, and
  Crawford. In Missouri, Barton, Benton, Cedar, Dade, Hickory,
  Jasper, Lawrence, Morgan, Newton, Polk, St. Clair, and Vernon.

* Through Thursday morning

* Multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms producing heavy
  rainfall are expected through Wednesday night. Rainfall amounts
  of 3 to 5 inches are expected, with locally higher amounts
  possible.

* The heavy rainfall may lead to flooding of creeks, streams, and
  low water crossings.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.

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

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight.

Weather hazards expected...

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

DISCUSSION...

Isolated thunderstorms will be possible through 8 pm. Severe
storms are not expected with this early activity.

Thunderstorms will increase in coverage this evening and into the
late night hours through daybreak, especially across southeastern
Kansas and western Missouri. Isolated stronger storms will be
capable of large hail and damaging winds.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday.

Ongoing activity is expected Tuesday morning with some strong to
severe storms continuing to be possible. Severe thunderstorms
appear increasingly likely from Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday
night. All modes of severe weather will be possible including hail
to the size of golf balls, damaging wind gusts to 70 mph, and a
few tornadoes. Flash flooding will also be possible where heavy
rainfall rates can persist.

The chance for severe thunderstorms and flash flooding will
continue into Wednesday and Wednesday night but the timing and the
areas with the highest probability are hard to pinpoint. Large
hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes appear possible.

The threat for thunderstorms may then persist into Thursday and
Friday. The potential for severe storms and flooding is unclear at
this time. There are then limited chances for thunderstorms late
this weekend weekend.
