Kansas City, Missouri

HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK
Issue Date: 100 PM CDT FRI JUL 25 2008
Expiration: 600 AM CDT SAT JUL 26 2008

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHWEST...NORTH CENTRAL
AND WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI...AS WELL AS EXTREME EASTERN KANSAS.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

A WARM AND VERY HUMID AIRMASS WAS BEGINNING TO OVERSPREAD EASTERN
KANSAS AND WESTERN MISSOURI EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...SOUTH OF A
WARM FRONT THAT STRETCHED FROM NEAR TOPEKA TO KANSAS CITY AND
SOUTHEAST TOWARD CLINTON. A LESS-DEFINED WARM FRONT WAS ALSO
FEATURED FROM SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA THROUGH CENTRAL IOWA. BOTH OF
THESE BOUNDARIES WILL HELP FOCUS THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WINDS MAY ACCOMPANY THESE STORMS AS THEY ORGANIZE AND PUSH
SOUTHWARD. TORRENTIAL RAINFALL COULD LEAD TO LOCALIZED FLOODING
AND FURTHER AGGRAVATE THE ONGOING MAJOR FLOODING OVER
NORTHEAST MISSOURI SHOULD THUNDERSTORMS BUILD TOWARD THAT REGION.

THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO DEVELOP SHOULD MOVE FAIRLY QUICKLY...THUS
LIMITING THE POTENTIAL FOR WIDESPREAD FLOODING.

ONCE SKIES CLEAR LATER TONIGHT...CONDITIONS MAY BECOME FAVORABLE
FOR AREAS OF DENSE FOG...ESPECIALLY OVER NORTHERN MISSOURI.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY

AN ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
ADDITIONAL CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL RETURN SATURDAY NIGHT AND
LAST THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING. SEVERE WEATHER IS POSSIBLE WITH THIS
ACTIVITY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE ENTIRE
OUTLOOK AREA...ESPECIALLY BETWEEN 4 AND 9 PM.
