Damaging winds, hail and a couple tornadoes will be possible. One or more downstream weather watches is likely needed this evening. DISCUSSION...Across portions of northern MO and southeastern IA, convective trends have shown an increase in storm mergers and upscale growth over the last hour. Likely in response to an increasing low-level jet evident on area VAD/VWPs, this trend is expected to continue this evening. Hi-res guidance is in agreement showing continued upscale growth of the ongoing convective clusters into an east/southeastward moving MCS in the next couple of hours. Ahead of these storms, sufficient buoyancy (2000-3000 J/kg of MUCAPE) along a modified outflow boundary should support strong updrafts. 40-50 kt of bulk shear should also be favorable for storm organization/longevity. Storms should progress east/southeastward along the buoyancy gradient into northeastern MO, southeastern IA and western IL. Given the favorable buoyancy/shear, an organized MCS capable of all hazards should evolve tonight. Downstream weather watches will likely be needed. ...Lyons/Guyer.. 05/07/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!4a6bnLT-49Q4kMHtLYlboHKvueCCTLvc1MigF6xZO3VUgYGvGTbuxX1nUZgph1lMTIsiVFB5j= 5BZVLbYifw7qINesvA$ for graphic product...
