AREAS AFFECTED...PARTS OF CENTRAL/EASTERN MO
CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 40...
VALID 110614Z - 110745Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 40 CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...LOCALLY DAMAGING WIND AND PERHAPS A TORNADO REMAIN
POSSIBLE EARLY THIS MORNING.
DISCUSSION...WITHIN A BROADER QLCS, A CONVECTIVE LINE SEGMENT HAS
RECENTLY TAKEN ON A MORE NORTH-SOUTH ORIENTATION AND ACCELERATED
EASTWARD ACROSS CENTRAL MO. THIS ORIENTATION IS MORE FAVORABLE FOR
DAMAGING-WIND AND EMBEDDED TORNADO POTENTIAL, WITHIN AN ENVIRONMENT
OF VERY STRONG LOW-LEVEL SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW (50-60 KT ON REGIONAL
VWPS) AND MODERATE BUOYANCY. HOWEVER, THE 04Z SGF SOUNDING DEPICTED
RATHER SUBSTANTIAL MLCINH, RESULTING IN UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE
LONGEVITY OF ORGANIZED STORM STRUCTURES AND THE MAGNITUDE OF THE
SEVERE THREAT EARLY THIS MORNING.
IF THIS LINE SEGMENT REMAINS ORGANIZED, SOME THREAT FOR DAMAGING
WIND AND PERHAPS A TORNADO MAY EVENTUALLY SPREAD INTO PARTS OF
EAST-CENTRAL MO, OUT OF THE REMAINING PORTION OF WW 40. THE NEED FOR
NEW WATCH ISSUANCE IS VERY UNCERTAIN, BUT TRENDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE
MONITORED FOR AN UPTICK IN STORM ORGANIZATION OVERNIGHT.
