    ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHERN
    IOWA INTO NORTHERN MISSOURI AND INTO FAR NORTHEAST KANSAS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are expected mainly from Kansas into northern
    Missouri and into Iowa on Tuesday. Damaging wind will be the most
    likely threat, with areas of hail.

    ...Synopsis...
    A broad upper trough will exist from the northern Rockies to the
    Great Lakes on Tuesday, with a prominent lead wave moving from the
    northern Plains across the upper MS Valley. An upper high will
    remain over the lower MS valley, but the impinging trough will
    flatten the ridge across the lower MO Valley and Midwest.

    The primary surface low will pivot northward across Manitoba and
    western Ontario, with a cold front extending from MN into KS by late
    afternoon. Ample moisture and instability will develop ahead of the
    front from eastern CO across KS and into MO and parts of IA, with
    modest shear.

    ...Central Plains into the MS Valley...
    Strong heating will steepen lapse rates during the day from the
    southern High Plains into much of KS and nosing into western MO by
    late in the day ahead of the front. Weak height falls are forecast
    near southwest parts of the boundary, with stronger ascent into IA.
    Storms are forecast to be most numerous from northeast KS into
    northern MO and IA, in closer proximity to the midlevel height
    falls. Here, storms should form by 21Z along the front, with areas
    of upscale growth into clusters and an MCS. Severe winds are
    expected, especially into the Enhanced Risk area from northeast KS
    into northern MO and southern IA through early evening. The eastward
    extent will become limited by increasing convective inhibition.
    Otherwise, large hail is more likely southwestward across KS where
    heating and instability will be more robust. Locally damaging gusts
    may occur in the hot air toward the OK/TX Panhandles, with hail and
    possible left movers north of the surface front across western KS.
