However, low-end/isolated risk that is expected to persist appears likely to remain too low to warrant new WW issuance. DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows a mature, arcing band of thunderstorms moving southeastward across southwestern and central Missouri at this time. Meanwhile, isolated storms have developed farther south, across northwestern Arkansas/southwestern Missouri, in response to increasing low-level warm advection associated with a veering low-level jet. Amply steep lapse rates across the region are providing sufficient -- though slightly elevated -- CAPE, on the order of 500 to 1500 J/kg. This -- combined with moderate/very weakly veering flow in the cloud-bearing layer -- is supporting a few stronger updrafts, and will likely continue to do so as convection spreads across the Ozarks. However, with severe potential expected to remain rather low-end and isolated, a WW is not currently anticipated. We will continue to monitor convective evolution across the area, for any signs of increased severe risk. ..Goss/Guyer.. 05/09/2021 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
