446 AM CDT Sun May 31 2026

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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.

Weather hazards expected...

Marginal thunderstorm wind damage risk.
Marginal hail risk.
Marginal tornado risk.
Limited lightning risk.
Limited excessive rainfall risk

DISCUSSION...

Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5) for isolated to scattered strong to
severe storms today. Damaging wind gusts up to 70 mph, heavy
downpours leading to flooding, and hail to the size of quarters
are the primary hazards. Tornado threat is very conditional and
overall low, but cannot be fully ruled out during a brief window
this afternoon if storms do form. Another period of risk for more
organized strong to severe storms will occur late tonight with a
potential cluster of storms moving into the area from the north
and west.

Flash flooding will continue to be a concern in any areas that
receive heavy downpours over the next two days, with recent rains
increasing likelihood of localized flash flooding.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday.

Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5) for isolated strong to severe storms
again Monday, though uncertainty still remains on how strong
storms will be. Wind gusts up to 60 mph and hail to the size of
quarters will be possible if storms can become severe, with a risk
of heavy downpours leading to localized flooding again in any
areas that see repeated rounds or longer durations of heavy
rainfall.

Warm and humid conditions on Monday with heat index values in
the 90s.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

  Spotter activation will not be needed through tonight.
