Areas affected...Portions of extreme southeast Missouri...extreme

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 118...
Valid 282029Z - 282200Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 118
continues.
SUMMARY...Some severe threat remains across Severe Thunderstorm
Watch 0118 over the next few hours. A couple damaging gusts are
expected be the primary concern.
DISCUSSION...The remnants of an earlier QLCS persist across western
portions of Severe Thunderstorm Watch 0118 in the form of a loosely
organized multicellular cluster which is about to cross the Missouri
Bootheel. These storms are traversing a relatively diffuse west-east
oriented baroclinic zone, characterized by 1000+ J/kg MLCAPE and
40-50 kts of effective bulk shear as shown by the latest
Mesoanalysis. The 1948Z KPAH VWP also shows modest low-level shear
(i.e. just over 150 m2/s2 0-3km SRH) with a nearly straight
hodograph. As such, the multicellular cluster is expected to
continue across the watch over the next few hours. Nonetheless, the
storms are propagating away from the low-level jet axis, which is
currently established across parts of the Mid South, as well as the
stronger mid-level flow. Questions remain regarding the overall
coverage of damaging winds. Nonetheless, the aforementioned
CAPE/shear parameter space suggests that at least a couple damaging
gusts and perhaps a brief tornado cannot be ruled out.
