    Areas affected...southern Missouri and southern Illinois

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 260719Z - 260915Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms are ongoing and slowly intensifying across
    southwest and south-central Missouri. Isolated hail, potentially up
    to 1" in diameter, will be possible with the strongest thunderstorms
    through the morning as the storms move northeast. The isolated
    nature of the threat should preclude the need for a watch.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms are developing and slowly increasing in
    both coverage and intensity across southwest and south-central
    Missouri. These thunderstorms appear to be tied to isentropic ascent
    associated with moisture advection within a 20-30 knots
    southwesterly low-level jet (per KSGF VAD). For example,
    850-millibar dewpoint temperatures have warmed from around 10.5C at
    00Z (per SGF sounding) to around 13-14 C per latest RUC/Mesoanalysis
    data across southwest Missouri.

    The large-scale pattern will maintain the low-level jet through the
    overnight, which should maintain moist advection. This continued
    isentropic ascent will continue to allow parcels to ascend to their
    level of free convection through the morning, which, in turn, should
    maintain the ongoing convection and support new convection through
    at least sunrise. Deep-layer shear on the order of 30-40 knots and
    an increase in most-unstable CAPE values to between 1000-1500 J/kg
    will support gradual updraft intensification and organization. The
    result will be a potential for the strongest thunderstorms to
    produce hail -- some of which may be severe -- as they move off to
    the northeast.

    At this time, a watch is currently not expected owing to the
    isolated nature of the severe threat. However, convective trends
    will continue to be monitored.
