   Areas affected...central Illinois into southern and eastern Missouri

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 214...

   Valid 271757Z - 271930Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 214
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Severe risk -- primarily in the form of damaging wind
   gusts -- is ongoing across portions of WW 214.

   DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop indicates a broken band of storms
   that has evolved from central Illinois southwestward to southwestern
   Missouri.  While any stronger storms within this area may produce
   locally gusty winds and/or hail, two particular areas where damaging
   wind potential may be enhanced in the short term are across portions
   of central Illinois, and just east of the I-44 corridor east of SGF.

   In Illinois, a bowing band of storms is moving eastward at around 40
   kt, and will affect areas between St. Louis and Decatur, where wind
   gusts in excess of 60 MPH may occur.

   In southwestern Missouri, a small bowing segment within the larger
   convective band along the I-44 corridor is moving across portions of
   Laclede and Webster counties, toward Wright County.  Wind gusts in
   excess of 60 MPH may occur as the cluster surges east-southeastward.
