The need for a watch remains uncertain. DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms which have persisted across southern NE earlier this morning have consolidated and recently strengthened into a small bowing cluster along the MO/IA border. Two measured severe wind gusts to 59 and 66 mph have been recorded in southern IA with this convection. The airmass downstream is not particularly unstable, as it lies to the north of a weak surface front and convectively reinforced outflow boundary from prior convection. Still, latest mesoanalysis suggests around 1000-2000 J/kg of MUCAPE and 30-35 kt of deep-layer shear is present downstream across northern MO, southern IA, and west-central IL. This may be sufficient to maintain the current cluster's intensity for a few more hours as it moves eastward along the MO/IA border. Occasional severe/damaging winds should remain the primary severe threat, but some hail may also occur. Given the small size of the cluster and potential for it to weaken as it eventually moves eastward into a less unstable airmass across IL, the need for a Severe Thunderstorm Watch remains uncertain. However, trends will continue to be monitored. ...Gleason/Thompson.. 06/30/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!_0ltWNBaCiZb3gYrvDwKYF9v_fi3vmW8AlqVNiC9GqYT-T4h4j3AuHs9N-HZwsX8Qe_BM_owV= 1-nc35eCQB-AnuZ4Gw$ for graphic product...
