Severe thunderstorms are likely tonight as a line of
thunderstorms approaches far southeast Kansas by 9pm and then
moves east through southwest Missouri overnight. The line of
storms will likely be out of the area by sunrise Tuesday.

Widespread damaging winds of 60 to 80 mph is the most likely
risk, especially along and west of Highway 65. However, there will
be the potential for brief, short lived tornadoes. Large hail up
to the size of half dollars and frequent lightning will also be a
concern. Locations west of Highway 65 will also have a localized flooding
risk overnight.
