Valid 070456Z - 070630Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 191, 192 continues. SUMMARY...Damaging wind and perhaps a couple line-embedded tornadoes remain possible overnight as an extensive QLCS moves eastward. Downstream watch issuance may eventually be needed. DISCUSSION...An extensive QLCS has recently moved through areas near/south of Kansas City, with multiple mesovortices recently noted along the leading edge of the line. Downstream, the environment remains favorably unstable into central MO, with somewhat cooler and more stable conditions noted into northeast MO, though some recovery remains possible into this area prior to storm arrival. Low-level shear/SRH remains strong according to regional VWPs, and a threat for line-embedded tornadoes and damaging gusts will continue eastward through the early overnight hours. Some threat is likely to eventually move eastward out of WW 192, and downstream watch issuance into parts of central/eastern MO may eventually be needed. ..Dean/Guyer.. 05/07/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
