    Areas affected...Southern through southeastern Missouri

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 43...

    Valid 140142Z - 140245Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 43 continues.

    SUMMARY...The severe threat in Tornado Watch 43 should be confined
    to an organizing, northeastward-moving band of storms over the next
    several hours. West of this band, the severe threat has diminished substantially in the short term.

    DISCUSSION...Latest radar mosaic/objective analyses indicate an
    organizing, north-to-south oriented band of storms extending from Osage/Gasconade southward through Ozark/Powell Counties in Missouri
    and on from there into Arkansas. These storms were in a strongly
    sheared environment (effective SRH values approaching 500 m2/s2),
    with instability values relatively weak but still supportive of
    organized convection. Isolated tornadoes, damaging wind gusts, and
    hail are likely in the strongest activity, with the tornado risk
    maximized within LEWPs and bows within the complex and any
    convection ahead of the line that can remain discrete.

    West of this band of storms, convective overturning has stabilized
    the airmass substantially. Isolated storms have redeveloped well
    west of the region along the dryline in southeastern Kansas,
    although these storms should struggle to affect western portions of
    WW 43 with any impact exceeding severe levels. As such, affected
    local offices may consider expiring the stabilized portions of WW 43
    before scheduled expiration (06Z).

    Mesoscale Discussion 0248
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1130 PM CDT Fri Mar 29 2019

    Areas affected...Parts of OK into far southeastern KS...southwestern
    MO...and northwestern AR

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 300430Z - 300700Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated large hail may occur overnight as thunderstorms
    increase in coverage and intensity. While not immediately likely,
    severe thunderstorm watch issuance may be needed by 1-2 AM CDT.

    DISCUSSION...04Z surface analysis shows a 1008 mb low centered along
    the KS/MO border near Pittsburg, KS. A cold front extends
    southwestward from this low across central/western OK into the TX
    Panhandle, while a warm front is located over parts of southwestern
    MO. A shortwave trough over the central High Plains will shift
    eastward overnight. At least scattered thunderstorms appear likely
    to develop by 06-07Z (1-2 AM CDT) as large-scale ascent associated
    with the shortwave trough overspreads much of OK and vicinity.

    Initial convective development appears to be underway across the
    eastern TX Panhandle and northwestern OK at 0420Z with cooling of
    cloud tops noted on infrared satellite imagery. These thunderstorms
    will likely remain elevated above a stable near-surface layer as
    they move eastward across OK and eventually southwestern
    MO/northwestern AR overnight. Steep mid-level lapse rates of 7.5 to
    8.5 C/km present on 00Z area soundings are supporting MUCAPE of
    1000-2000 J/kg across much of OK. Around 40-50 kt of effective bulk
    shear in the cloud-bearing layer should initially support supercells
    with an isolated large hail threat.

    Convective mode becomes less clear with eastward extent across OK,
    as storms may have a tendency to organize into one or more line
    segments as they interact with the cold front. Gusty winds may also
    occur, but downdrafts will probably struggle to reach the surface
    given the strong low-level inversion. Convective trends will be
    monitored over the next several hours for possible watch issuance.
