THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF THE MISSOURI
OZARKS AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS.
.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.
  ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE
  TONIGHT AS A WARM FRONT SHIFTS NORTH THROUGH THE REGION. NO
  SEVERE STORMS ARE EXPECTED...BUT A FEW STORMS MAY CONTAIN
  SMALL HAIL AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY.
  WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED
  ACROSS THE ENTIRE OUTLOOK AREA WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY
  NIGHT AS A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TAKES SHAPE ACROSS
  THE PLAINS STATES. THERE WILL BE A LIMITED RISK FOR
  THUNDERSTORM WIND GUSTS TO 60 MPH AND HAIL TO THE SIZE OF
  QUARTERS...MAINLY TO THE SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 60 FROM WEDNESDAY
  AFTERNOON INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. IF BREAKS IN THE
  PRECIPITATION DEVELOP AND MORE INSTABILITY CAN BE
  REALIZED...A SLIGHTLY GREATER THREAT FOR SEVERE STORMS WOULD
  EXIST ACROSS EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND SOUTHERN MISSOURI.
  THERE WILL ALSO BE A LIMITED THREAT FOR FLASH FLOODING DUE
  TO THE WIDESPREAD MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL EXPECTED
  ACROSS THE OUTLOOK AREA. THE THREAT FOR FLASH FLOODING MAY
  BE SLIGHTLY HIGHER ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI WEDNESDAY
  NIGHT WHERE MORE IN THE WAY OF THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED.
  NON THUNDERSTORM WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 30 MPH ARE ALSO
  EXPECTED ACROSS THE ENTIRE OUTLOOK AREA FROM LATER WEDNESDAY
  INTO FRIDAY.
  MEANWHILE...A SECOND LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO
  DEVELOP ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND TRACK NORTH
  INTO EASTERN MISSOURI LATE THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. A
  COLD FRONT TRAILING THIS LOW WILL ALSO USHER MUCH COLDER AIR
  INTO THE AREA. THIS WILL LIKELY RESULT IN RAIN CHANGING TO
  SNOW ON THURSDAY ACROSS WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE OUTLOOK
  AREA. AT THIS TIME...IT APPEARS THAT SOME SNOW ACCUMULATION
  IS POSSIBLE ALONG AND WEST OF THE HIGHWAY 65 CORRIDOR. THE
  GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW WILL BE ALONG THE
  HIGHWAY 71 CORRIDOR. ADDITIONAL BOUTS OF VERY LIGHT SNOW OR
  FLURRIES WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE THROUGH CHRISTMAS...BUT LITTLE
  IF ANY ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED.
  IN ADDITION...STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS WILL PRODUCE WIND
  CHILLS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.
  INTERESTS ACROSS THE MISSOURI OZARKS AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS
  SHOULD KEEP UP WITH THE LATEST FORECAST FROM THE NATIONAL
  WEATHER SERVICE AS DETAILS BECOME CLEARER REGARDING THE
  IMPACTS OF THIS STORM SYSTEM.
