Valid 012307Z - 020030Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 307 continues. SUMMARY...The severe weather threat continues across severe thunderstorm watch 307 with a primary threat of large hail and damaging winds. The greatest severe weather coverage is expected in far eastern Missouri and far western Illinois and along the Kansas/Missouri border. DISCUSSION...Several supercells have developed in northwest flow across portions of the Missouri Valley. Up to this point, storms have been confined to the greater instability (KS/MO border), and closer to the mid-level shortwave (NE MO and western IL). Storms have tried to form along the cold front between these two clusters but have struggled up to this point. Given we are past daytime heating and the strongest forcing is moving away from this area, storm coverage may remain quite sparse (as supported by the 21Z HRRR). Where strong updrafts have developed, storms have quickly taken on supercell structures, which is not surprising given around 70 knots of flow around 8km that is being sampled from the LSX and EAX VWP. Expect these supercells to continue through the evening with primarily a large hail threat, and eventual growth upscale and increasing damaging wind threat (including the St. Louis metro area). ..Bentley.. 06/01/2019 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
