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

.DAY ONE...Tonight.

Weather hazards expected...

  Limited hail risk.
  Significant lightning risk.
  Elevated non thunderstorm wind risk.
  Elevated fire weather risk.

DISCUSSION...

Scattered thunderstorms will continue to push northeast across the
Ozarks this evening. Some small hail will be possible with any
stronger storms, however frequent lightning will be the primary
potential hazard.

Non thunderstorm southerly winds will gust up to 45 mph tonight
along and west of the Highway 65 corridor.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Tuesday.

Scattered severe thunderstorms will impact portions of the
Missouri Ozarks Friday afternoon. Storms will exit the eastern
Ozarks by early evening.

There is an Enhanced Risk for severe storms east of the Highway
65 corridor with a Slight Risk for severe storms extending as far
west as the Interstate 49 corridor.

The primary potential hazards from the storms Friday afternoon
will be hail to the size of golf balls and damaging wind gusts to
60 mph. There is a limited risk for a few tornadoes, mainly east
of the Highway 65 corridor.

Outside of thunderstorms, strong and gusty south to southwest
winds will persist into Friday. Gusts of 45 to 60 mph will occur,
with the strongest gusts occurring Friday afternoon near and west
of the Interstate 49 corridor.

The combination of the strong winds and rapidly falling humidity
will lead to critical fire weather conditions across southeast
Kansas and western Missouri Friday afternoon and evening,
especially in grassy areas. Fires in these conditions will
rapidly
grow and spread.

Another strong low pressure system will bring the potential for
severe storms and flooding to the region next Tuesday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

  Spotter activation will not be needed through tonight.
