After storms move out this morning, another round of severe weather is possible for the four states.

 

The greatest risk will be in southern Missouri and northern Arkansas south of I-44. Hail up to ping pong ball size, damaging wind gusts and frequent lightning are all possible, and an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out. Southeast Kansas and northeast Oklahoma are on the western edge of the threat, being in the “slight” risk category as opposed to the “enhanced” risk area. Storms are expected late this afternoon and evening. KGGF will provide severe weather coverage if it's needed.
