    Areas affected...Portions of southern Missouri and northern Arkansas

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 283...

    Valid 191915Z - 192115Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 283
    continues.

    SUMMARY...A small bowing thunderstorm cluster will reach the eastern
    edge of Watch 283 within the next hour or so, as it moves towards
    southeast Missouri. Additionally, other strong/severe storms may
    form to its west and gradually develop into northern Arkansas
    through this evening. These trends are being monitored for possible
    watch issuance.

    DISCUSSION...A small bowing thunderstorm complex is progressing
    east/southeast around 30-35 kt over south-central Missouri this
    afternoon. At its current rate, it will approach the eastern edge of
    Watch 283 around 20-21Z. The downstream boundary-layer environment
    is characterized by ample theta-e and steep low-level lapse rates.
    However, both mid-level flow and lapse rates become weaker with
    eastward extent, casting uncertainty upon a more widespread severe
    threat east of the current watch. As such, at its present state,
    downstream watch issuance towards the Mississippi Valley appears
    quite uncertain.

    A secondary zone of potential convective development may offer a
    greater, although still uncertain, severe threat over far southern
    Missouri into northern Arkansas through this evening. Visible
    satellite displays towering cumulus along an outflow boundary
    extending westward from the aforementioned system. Ahead of this
    boundary, rich boundary-layer moisture, ample heating, and more
    robust mid-level kinematic/thermodynamic conditions are yielding a
    higher conditional threat. Deeper convection along this boundary
    would likely become severe and move east/southeastward, with the
    threat eventually encroaching upon northern Arkansas. Such an
    evolution would require new watch issuance, as cells would be
    capable of damaging winds and large hail.
