TODAY AND TONIGHT

ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS EARLY THIS MORNING WILL BE AFFECTING PORTIONS
OF NORTH CENTRAL TO WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI AND EAST CENTRAL KANSAS.
SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED FROM THIS ACTIVITY ALTHOUGH SOME OF
THE STORMS MAY PRODUCE SMALL HAIL UP TO A HALF INCH IN SIZE.

THIS AFTERNOON AS A COLD FRONT MOVES INTO NORTHERN MISSOURI AND
NORTHEAST KANSAS...MORE WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS
EXPECTED. THESE STORMS MAY PRODUCE SEVERE WEATHER WITH DAMAGING WINDS
AND LARGE HAIL THE MAIN THREATS. THESE STORMS WILL ALSO BE EFFICIENT
RAIN PRODUCERS WHICH MAY BRING A QUICK INCH TO TWO INCHES OF RAINFALL
IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THIS MAY CAUSE MINOR FLOODING TO OCCUR.

THIS EVENING...AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES INTO AREAS FROM AROUND KANSAS
CITY TO MACON AND MOBERLY...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS THAT WILL STILL BE
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE
ONGOING. IN ADDITION...VERY HEAVY RAINFALL FROM THESE THUNDERSTORMS
CAN BE EXPECTED. IF STORMS REPEAT OVER THE SAME AREA...FLOODING
PROBLEMS MAY ESCALATE FROM MINOR PROBLEMS TO MORE OF A FLASH FLOODING
SITUATION.

THE STRONGER STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE EAST OF THE AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT
...BUT THUNDERSTORMS MAY STILL BE OCCURRING WITH THE COLD FRONT AS IT MOVES
SOUTH TOWARD THE OZARKS. HEAVY RAINFALL WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE.

IN ADDITION TO A FLASH FLOODING THREAT...SOME OF THIS RAIN MAY RENEW
FLOODING ALONG RIVERS THAT HAVE ONLY RECENTLY GONE BELOW FLOOD STAGE.


.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

ON THURSDAY...WITH THE COLD FRONT STILL EXPECTED TO BE IN SOUTHERN
MISSOURI...THUNDERSTORMS WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE...MAINLY IN AREAS TO
THE SOUTH OF THE MISSOURI RIVER. THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE
WEATHER FROM THESE STORMS WITH ISOLATED DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL
THE MAIN THREATS. HEAVY RAINFALL WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO BE A CONCERN.

FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY...THE FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE SHIFTING TO
THE SOUTH. STILL THUNDERSTORMS CAN NOT BE TOT
