Areas affected...Eastern Missouri into southern Illinois and
adjacent portions of Kentucky and Indiana

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 454...

Valid 042156Z - 050000Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 454
continues.

SUMMARY...Some threat for severe winds will likely spread east into
southern Illinois in the coming hours as a loosely organized MCS
exits eastern Missouri. However, the need for downstream watch
issuance is uncertain due to a very modest kinematic environment.

DISCUSSION...Latest radar imagery from KLSX shows a loosely
organized, and predominantly outflow dominant, MCS pushing eastward
across eastern MO and into far western IL. Wind gusts over the past
hour have mostly been in the 30-50 mph range, but velocity imagery
continues to show embedded swaths of stronger winds capable of
producing wind damage. Downstream, clustered convection continues to
percolate across southern IL within the regional buoyancy maximum.
However, regional VWPs continue to show very limited flow through
much of the column, which is resulting in outflow-dominant
convection with limited intensities. Consequently, confidence is
limited that the ongoing MCS will pose a substantial and/or
widespread wind threat downstream as it moves into southern IL.
Similarly, the potential for downstream watch issuance is uncertain.
That said, the favorable buoyancy will likely promote continued
development along the leading outflow boundary with the potential
for transient and localized swaths of strong (to perhaps severe)
downburst winds through mid/late evening.
