    Areas affected...Southern MO...Northern/Central AR

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 217...

    Valid 151618Z - 151745Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 217
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Threat for damaging wind gusts continues across southern
    MO, with the the threat expected to persist into northern and
    central AR. A downstream watch will be needed to cover this
    additional severe potential.

    DISCUSSION...Central portion of the ongoing convective line
    (currently near Springfield MO) continues to move southeastward,
    with recent storm motion estimated around 45 kt. Updrafts remain
    strong within this portion of the line, but low-level wind
    signatures have diminished over the past hour or so. Even so,
    damaging wind gusts remain possible within the line, particularly as
    the air mass continues to destabilize.=20

    The downstream air mass has destabilized with temperatures now in
    the 80 and dewpoints in the low 70s. Recent mesoanalysis estimates
    MLCAPE from 2000 to 3000 J/kg across northern and central AR with
    little convective inhibition, if any, remaining (as evidenced by the
    ongoing storms near RUE). General expectation is for the ongoing
    line to continue southeastward into this more unstable environment.
    Some intensification of this line is possible, with damaging wind
    gusts as the primary severe threat. Given this continued severe
    risk, a downstream watch will likely be needed for portions of
    northern and central AR.

    Areas affected...western Kansas into western Nebraska

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 211...

    Valid 112049Z - 112215Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 211 continues.

    SUMMARY...The severe risk persists over western Kansas, and may
    increase into western Nebraska with time. An additional watch could
    eventually be needed north of the existing watch 211, depending on
    storm trends.

    DISCUSSION...Bands of thunderstorms persist north of the surface low
    and ahead of midlevel cooling with the upper trough. Strong boundary
    layer easterlies continue to push moisture westward across northwest
    KS and into western NE toward an inverted surface trough. The
    easterly winds are also helping warm advection in general, as
    heating continues upstream from northern KS into central NE.
    Low-level shear is sufficient for a weak/brief tornado threat with
    0-1 values around 100 m2/s2. As such, given the time of day, an
    additional watch could be needed into more of NE and perhaps
    north-central KS as the storms develop in that direction. In
    addition, a plume of steep lapse rates pushing into southwest KS
    ahead of the vort max could lead to locally severe gusts with
    activity developing over southeast CO currently.
