Severe Weather To Take Place This Evening and Tonight: Mid-Mississpi Valley and MidSouth

Already seeing some initial rain and thunderstorms in eastern Kansas and western Missouri, this afternoon, associated with a lifting warm front. This will continues to lift north-northeastward through the afternoon and evening allowing warm and more unstable air to ride northward. This area of rain and a few storms will also lift north-northeast. As it does a few of the storm may briefly become strong to severe with gusty winds. The bigger threat for severe weather arrives with an approaching cold front. Currently, the cold front is exiting the Rockies and will be crossing through the Plains. This will become the focal point for storm development across central Kansas southward into Oklahoma between 6pm-8pm this evening. The storms  could become strong to severe with gusty winds but as the line moves into Missouri and Arkansas late tonight the threat for isolated tornadoes will be there, especially along and north of I-40 and through the Missouri Ozarks.

The system will spawn more thunderstorms that could become severe, Wednesday PM, east of the Mississippi river into the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys. Will discuss this further later this evening
