   Areas affected...south-central Kansas into far western Missouri

   Concerning...Freezing rain 

   Valid 050238Z - 050845Z

   SUMMARY...Areas of light freezing rain may intensify later this
   evening, spreading out of south-central Kansas into far western
   Missouri. Small hail may also occur from far northern Oklahoma into
   southern Kansas.

   DISCUSSION...Light freezing drizzle/rain persists this evening over
   south-central KS north of the warm front over northern OK. VWPs
   indicate increasing southwest flow just above the stable/cold
   boundary layer, which will result in increasing moisture advection
   and lift atop the cold air mass.

   Indications are that heavier convective elements/elevated
   thunderstorms may form over far northern OK into southern KS between
   03-06Z. As this activity expands northeast and north of the freezing
   line, moderate to heavy bursts of freezing rain may occur. Forecast
   soundings indicate several hundred J/kg MUCAPE will develop by 06Z,
   and very small hail cannot be ruled out.
