Areas affected...Southeast Missouri southern Illinois...and far
western Kentucky
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20
Valid 082142Z - 082345Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...A strong to severe thunderstorm or two may develop across
southeast Missouri, the southern half of Illinois, and far western
Kentucky through the evening hours. This threat will likely remain
fairly isolated, and a watch is not anticipated.
DISCUSSION...Robust thunderstorm initiation is noted across eastern
MO over the past hour per regional reflectivity/echo top data as
well as GOES IR cloud-top temperature trends. This activity is
developing along a cool front and in the vicinity of a weak surface
low where forcing for ascent is maximized within an unstable air
mass (upwards of 1500-2500 J/kg MLCAPE per latest mesoanalysis
estimates). Additional convection across central IL has been ongoing
for several hours, but has shown some signs of additional
development within the past 30-60 minutes.=20
Although the downstream region was previously overturned by morning
convection, clearing skies and theta-e advection from the southwest
has allowed for sufficient air mass recovery for storm maintenance.
Regional VWPs are also sampling 30-40 knot winds between 4-6 km,
which, combined with the weak low-level flow, is supporting 30-35
knots of effective bulk shear. Consequently, a couple of strong to
severe storms are possible through the evening hours with
hail/severe wind as the primary hazards. This threat will likely be
bounded by the cool front as well as the residual outflow boundary
across IL that denotes the northeastward extent of the better
instability. Convective coverage is uncertain given the weak forcing
for ascent. Trends will continue to be monitored, but a watch is not
currently anticipated.
