    Mesoscale Discussion 1536
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0133 PM CDT Sun Oct 07 2018

    Areas affected...Portions of central/eastern Missouri...central
    Illinois

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 071833Z - 072100Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Scattered storms are expected across the area, with at
    least isolated severe possible. Damaging wind gusts will be the main
    threat, though some risk for strong low-level rotation/a brief
    tornado exists for storms interacting with a frontal zone.

    DISCUSSION...Scattered strong storms, with a multicellular storm
    mode, have recently initiated along/just south of a differential
    heating boundary in central Missouri. These storms are traversing an
    airmass thermodynamically characterized by relatively poor
    tropospheric lapse rates (6 C/km or less), but deep low-level
    moisture (with latest RAP PFCs indicating PWAT values exceeding
    1.5-1.75 inches and near saturated conditions extending up to 850
    mb). Strong heating is underway downstream of the storms in
    east-central Missouri into central Illinois, with temperatures
    reaching well into the 80s, with MLCAPE values rapidly surpassing
    1500-2000 J/kg across much of the discussion area.

    With storms expected to remain mainly multicellular in nature, wet
    downbursts and associated damaging wind gusts are expected to be the
    primary threat. Modest low to mid-level flow is in place, with
    strong veering noted in the 500-1000 m layer, resulting in SRH
    exceeding 100-150 m2/s2 in both 0-1 km, and in the effective layer.
    As such, the more dominant, discrete updrafts may have the
    propensity to rotate and demonstrate supercellular characteristics,
    perhaps bearing the risk for a brief tornado. This may especially be
    the case for any storm that can traverse the differential heating
    boundary for longer periods of time, with undisturbed inflow.

    Still, the severe threat is expected to remain rather isolated in
    nature, and a WW issuance is not expected at this time.
