2024-05-21 20:56:40 GENCOMM: WA0TJT: Mesoscale Discussion 0876 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0354 PM CDT Tue May 21 2024 Areas affected...Northeast/North-Central/Central MO...West-Central IL Concerning...Tornado Watch 278... Valid 212054Z - 212300Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 278 continues. SUMMARY...The potential for severe thunderstorms capable of all severe hazards is increasing and a watch may be needed within the next hour or two. DISCUSSION...Visible satellite imagery has recently shown increasingly agitated cumulus across north-central MO, ahead of the ongoing line of storms moving through northwest MO. This increased vertical development has occurred subsequent with the erosion of the convective inhibition on recent mesoanalysis. Convective initiation is possible within this cumulus field, although there is likely still a warm layer around 800-700 mb that could inhibit updrafts somewhat. If initiation is realized, the environment is favorable for storm intensification/organization, with supercells capable of all severe hazards possible. Even if this early initiation is not realized, the ongoing storms are expected to maintain their intensity as they move into northwest MO around 23Z. A downstream watch will likely be needed over portions of the region to address the increasing potential for severe thunderstorms. ..Mosier/Guyer.. 05/21/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
