Severe Weather Possible Mon 4/7 and Tues 4/9

From the NWS 1 p.m. Hazardous Weather Outlook:

EDIT: As of Tuesday 10:26am the risk has moved to the east. All clear until Thursday I think. More to follow.

For Monday:
WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED:
  • GOLF BALL SIZED HAIL
  • THUNDERSTORM WIND GUSTS TO 60 MPH
AREAS AFFECTED AND TIMING:

SOUTHWEST MISSOURI AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS WEST OF A LINE FROM CASSVILLE TO OSCEOLA MISSOURI LATE TONIGHT. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL SPREAD EAST THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS AS THE LOW MOVES INTO SOUTHWEST MISSOURI

For Tuesday:
STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ONGOING TUESDAY MORNING AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH THE REGION.
WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED:
  • LARGE HAIL
  • DAMAGING WINDS
  • ISOLATED TORNADOES

THE BEST CHANCE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE DURING THE LATE MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON AS A COLD FRONT MAKES ITS WAY THROUGH MISSOURI. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE.

The bold area in red is a great reason to own a Weather Alert radio. If you don't have one, buy one. Those who do own one should make sure they are on, backed up with a battery, and ready to go.

Be safe.

hello. the post is likable... and your blog is interesting, JMO.

Couldn't help it. =)

We'll watch you for some good spotter picks this week. My boy Sniderman's going to be working his tail off I think.

Yah, I can't believable. :)

That hasn't been a huge problem before. If I have to go into moderation mode, that will be disappointing.

Sniderman's going to have many heavy workouts this spring I have a feeling.
