    Areas affected...portions of central into northern Alabama

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 62...63...

    Valid 222257Z - 230030Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 62, 63 continues.

    SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across Tornado Watches
    062-063. Damaging gusts may accompany the stronger bowing segments,
    and a tornado may also occur with the more sustained supercell
    structures.

    DISCUSSION...A broken QLCS with a history of damaging gusts and
    tornadoes continues to progress toward central Alabama. The line
    consists of both bowing segments and semi-discrete, transient
    supercell structures per MRMS mosaic and KBMX radar data. While
    low-level moisture continues to advect ahead of the line, latest
    surface observations suggest that the QLCS is gradually outpacing
    the eastward advection of better moisture (i.e. 65+ F surface
    dewpoints) and resultant buoyancy (500+ J/kg MLCAPE). As such, the
    overall robustness of the severe wind/tornado threat remains in
    question. Nonetheless, BMX and MXX VWPs have recently shown very
    large, curved hodographs, depicting very strong low-level shear
    capable of supporting damaging gusts and tornadoes. On balance, an
    appreciable severe threat remains in the current low-CAPE/high shear environment, and a few more damaging gusts/a couple of tornadoes
    remain possible into early evening.

    Areas affected...Southeastern MO...southern IL...far southwest
    IN...and far western KY

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 240022Z - 240215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...The risk of strong to severe storms capable of large hail
    could increase into the overnight hours. Trends are being monitored
    for a possible watch issuance.

    DISCUSSION...During the next few hours, an east-northeast/west-southwest-oriented quasi-stationary surface
    boundary will move slightly southward, while a strengthening
    low-level jet to the south (over the warm sector) gradually
    strengthens. This will result in strengthening isentropic ascent and
    increasing storm coverage in the vicinity of the boundary. While
    deep-layer flow/shear oriented parallel to the boundary will
    generally support elevated storms, nearly 60 kt of effective shear
    will still support organized supercell structures capable of large
    hail. And, if any of this activity tracks more eastward along/ahead
    of the boundary, upscale growth and near-surface-based inflow could
    allow for locally damaging gusts. The overall severe threat is
    uncertain given the potential for mostly elevated storms, though
    trends will be monitored for a possible watch issuance.

    Areas affected...northern Missouri and adjacent portions of southern Iowa/northwestern Illinois

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 311558Z - 311830Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...An initial period of increasing thunderstorm development
    appears likely across parts of northern Missouri into southeastern
    Iowa and and northwestern Illinois his afternoon. This may include
    strong thunderstorms posing a risk of severe hail for an hour or two
    early this afternoon across parts of northwestern Missouri, before a
    broader area of generally weaker thunderstorms evolves while
    spreading northeastward.

    DISCUSSION...Deepening convective development is evident within a
    narrow corridor, roughly west-northwest of the St. Joseph through
    Chillicothe MO vicinity. This is rooted above a near-surface
    inversion layer, along/above a strengthening frontal zone, aided by
    ascent supported by weak to modest low-level warm advection.

    Beneath anticyclonic flow within the crest of broad mid/upper
    ridging east of the southern Rockies into the Appalachians,
    mid/upper support for convection, if any, appears subtle. However,
    latest model output indicates increasing probabilities for
    thunderstorm initiation west-northwest through north of the
    Chillicothe vicinity by 17-18Z, where/when forecast soundings
    indicate modest conditional and convective instability in the
    presence of strong convective layer shear.=20=20

    This environment may be conducive to the evolution of an initial
    supercell structure of two, which may pose a risk for severe hail.=20 Thereafter, guidance suggests warmer and more strongly capping
    elevated mixed-layer air will tend to gradually spread across and
    north of the surface warm frontal zone. As this occurs, the warm
    advection driven convection, while perhaps becoming more widespread,
    may tend to become increasingly displaced to the north of the better instability near and south of the frontal zonal, resulting in
    diminishing risk for severe hail.
