SEVERE STORMS THIS EVENING?

This is the latest regarding the potential for severe weather tonight. The slight risk area has been reduced to include a small portion of northwest Missouri and that's it. Lack of moisture is limiting the development of widespread showers and storms.

Moisture and warmth is slowly creeping northward across Oklahoma and Kansas and will interact with a storm system approaching from the west this afternoon and through the overnight hours. Severe thunderstorms are going to be possible across the western half of the Ozarks. The main threat with any severe storm that develops will be large hail and damaging winds. The risk for tornadoes is mainly across northwest Missouri and NE Kansas.
