Areas affected...east-central Missouri into far western Illinois

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 35...

Valid 140044Z - 140245Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 35
continues.

SUMMARY...Large hail and damaging wind risk continues in WW35.

DISCUSSION...Recent storm activity across the south side of the St.
Louis metro this evening has produced instances of large hail up to
1.75 in. Additional storm development is occurring near the surface
warm font. Surface objective analysis continues to indicate around
1000-1500 J/kg of MLCAPE overlapping 40-45 kts of deep layer shear
and steep low to mid-level lapse rates. This will continue to
support potential for elevated supercells capable of large hail and
damaging wind through the next few hours this evening.
