Areas affected...portons of northern Missouri

Concerning...Tornado Watch 210...

Valid 170158Z - 170330Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 210 continues.

SUMMARY...A few severe gusts may still occur with an MCS across
northern MO over the next few hours. Isolated severe hail remains
possible and a tornado cannot be ruled out.

DISCUSSION...Multicells and supercells have grown upscale into a
southward propagating MCS. A strengthening LLJ is fostering
low-level moisture convergence/WAA with this MCS, aiding in its
persistence this evening. Given over 2000 J/kg MLCAPE residing ahead
of the MCS, a few severe gusts may still occur over the next few
hours, before boundary layer stabilization limits wind potential. A
few instances of severe hail could also briefly occur with the
stronger storm cores. A tornado still cannot be ruled out, either
with merging supercell structures, or a resultant embedded
mesovortex.
