ZCZC SPCSWOMCD ALL ACUS11 KWNS 252146 SPC MCD 252146 ILZ000-MOZ000-252245- Mesoscale Discussion 1096 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0446 PM CDT Fri Jun 25 2021 Areas affected...central Missouri to central Illinois Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely Valid 252146Z - 252245Z Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent SUMMARY...Severe thunderstorm watch appears warranted to account for expected upscale convective growth over the next several hours. DISCUSSION...Despite earlier MCS that spread across the Midwest, rapid air mass destabilization is occurring just southwest of the STL area. Further destabilization is expected downstream across central IL over the next few hours which should contribute to robust convection. Latest satellite imagery exhibits a line of deepening cumulus, with some showers, from near SPI to north of CMI. Thunderstorms will likely evolve along this corridor soon. Additionally, larger cluster of strong/severe storms should propagate across central into eastern MO with a threat for hail/wind. WW will likely be issued soon. ..Darrow/Grams.. 06/25/2021 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...LOT...ILX...LSX...SGF...EAX...
