Severe Storms Possible Friday Afternoon East Of Springfield

1PM UPDATE: The Storm Prediction Center now has areas east of Highway 65 in the slight risk area for severe weather for the rest of Friday, with a marginal risk just west of Springfield, with general thunderstorms for areas along I-49.

Original Story:

Several rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected in the Ozarks Friday afternoon into Friday night.

The National Weather Service says if enough instability can develop in the afternoon following the morning round of thunderstorms, then severe storms will be possible.

Up to golf ball size hail, damaging winds of more than 60 miles per hour, and isolated tornadoes are all risks with these storms.

Forecasters say the best chance of severe weather will be over the southwestern portion of Missouri back into southeast Kansas.

In addition to the potential of severe weather, the National Weather Service says several rounds of storms will likely produce heavy rain, and if those storms can train across the same locations, localized flooding will be possible.
