   Mesoscale Discussion 0304
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0227 PM CDT Sun Mar 30 2025

   Areas affected...Far east-central Missouri...parts of southern
   Illinois

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 70...

   Valid 301927Z - 302100Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 70 continues.

   SUMMARY...Supercells moving into southern Illinois will pose a
   threat for tornadoes (possibly strong) and large to very-large hail.

   DISCUSSION...Storms in and moving into southern Illinois have so far
   remained discrete. Regional VAD data suggest that this region
   remains favorable for low-level rotation in supercells. As long as
   storms remain discrete, which is not certain given the cold front
   moving southeastward, there will be a threat for a tornado (possibly
   strong) and large to very-large hail.
