Valid 311751Z - 311915Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 93 continues. SUMMARY...Tornado potential will likely increase through 200-230pm CDT. Large to very large hail (2-3 inches diameter) is possible with the more intense supercells. DISCUSSION...Radar mosaic shows explosive supercell development across northern MO into southern IA. Surface temperatures have warmed into the low-mid 70s with surface dewpoints in the 60-62 deg F range. The latest RAP forecast soundings show very steep surface to 300-mb lapse rates (7.5 deg C/km) with impressive southwesterly speed shear with height. As the supercells mature and the surface low deepens through mid afternoon, some backing of near-surface winds is expected with low-level hodographs enlarging through 2-3pm. As this hodograph change occurs, tornado potential will markedly increase. Very large low-level buoyancy (0-3 km MLCAPE 200-300 J/kg) and the intensifying low-level mesocyclones will combine to support the potential for strong tornadoes with supercells as they rapidly move northeast into south-central IA and approach the I-80 corridor. ...Smith.. 03/31/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!40sAsVIiQx9r4AyqRnzpLlt6js9abndHPTsWZxisWWZmP0FELSeqd9qjcpBQVGZEhM8CVQmZF= QL0rPEp6LMTroRHteY$ for graphic product...
