The National Weather Service put out a Hazardous Weather Outlook this morning. Strong storms are expected this afternoon. The details are below:

DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT
A STRONG UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL PUSH ACROSS THE LOWER MISSOURI RIVER VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON. A LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AHEAD OF THIS FRONT IS EXPECTED TO REACH THE NORTHEASTERN CORNER OF KANSAS AND NORTHWESTERN CORNER OF MISSOURI BY THE MID-MORNING HOURS. AS THESE STORMS PUSH FURTHER TO THE SOUTHEAST...MUCH UNCERTAINTY EXISTS AS TO THEIR POTENTIAL STRENGTH AS THEY MOVE THROUGH THE AREA. AN EXTENSIVE AREA OF HIGH CLOUD COVER IS EXPECTED TO OVERSPREAD THE AREA THROUGH THE MORNING...POSSIBLY LIMITING AVAILABLE INSTABILITY FOR STORMS. HOWEVER...IF AMPLE SUNSHINE DOES OCCUR...SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY AND ATMOSPHERIC SHEAR WILL EXIST TO PRODUCE A LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER AREAS MAINLY TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF A LINE FROM ST. JOSEPH TO PRINCETON.
THIS LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL STEADILY PUSH SOUTHEAST...LIKELY REACHING AREAS FROM KANSAS CITY TO UNIONVILLE BETWEEN 2 AND 4 PM. STORMS WILL PUSH THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE OUTLOOK AREA DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS...GRADUALLY WEAKENING AFTER SUNSET AS DAYLIGHT HEATING IS LOST.
DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREATS FROM ALL ACTIVITY THIS AFTERNOON...ALONG WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL DUE TO HIGH LEVELS OF ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE. WHILE PROBABILITIES REMAIN LOW...AN ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT WILL EXIST IN DISCRETE STORMS WHICH ARE ABLE TO DEVELOP OUT AHEAD OF THE LINE OF CONVECTION...ENHANCED BY STRONG LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR AND SIGNIFICANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE.
