0610 PM CDT Wed Jul 03 2024
Areas affected...portions of far southeast Missouri...extreme
southern Illinois...extreme southwestern Indiana...western into
central Kentucky
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 032310Z - 040045Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...A few damaging gusts (one or two of which may reach the
50-60 mph range) remain possible this afternoon. The severe threat
is expected to remain isolated, and a WW issuance is not expected.
DISCUSSION...An uptick in thunderstorm coverage and intensity has
recently occurred along a stationary boundary, evident via MRMS
mosaic and regional radar imagery. These storms are slowly
propagating southward into a pristine environment with surface
temperatures still over 90 F amid low to mid 70s F dewpoints,
yielding over 3000 J/kg MLCAPE in spots. Still, vertical shear is
modest at best, with around 30 kts of effective bulk shear that is
oriented (vector-wise) roughly parallel with the orientation of
ongoing linear convection. Given 7.5 0-3 km lapse rates, at least a
couple of strong wind gusts are possible, and a severe gust cannot
be completely ruled out. Nonetheless, the severe threat should
remain isolated and a WW issuance is not expected.
