Valid 130720Z - 130845Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 479, 480 continues. SUMMARY...Strong to isolated severe gusts may continue for another couple of hours across southeast MO into northeast AR. DISCUSSION...A bowing cluster of storms tracking east/southeast across south-central MO will continue to shift into parts of southeast MO/northeast AR the next 1-2 hours. This bow has shown some better organization, and increasing velocity signatures aloft (about 4-6 kft ARL). The downstream airmass remains very moist and moderately unstable. Effective shear magnitude around 25-30 kt should aid in maintaining this convection with southeast extent. It is unclear how far east/southeast near-severe caliber winds may continue as low-level inhibition increases toward the MO Bootheel vicinity. Instability also wanes with eastward extent and convection will move further away from the eastern extent of a modest low-level jet. While this may support a gradual weakening trend with time, expected that 45-60 mph gusts will persist for at least the next 1-2 hours. The need for a downstream watch to the east of WW 479 and WW 480 is uncertain, and trends will continue to be monitored. ...Leitman.. 07/13/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!63xBhzrJ40FyB7HwxQH2xSDucPIJn7YeOFsQ7elMe_jtO-YiVGL5nD9mVoI2v642EqVmB33Wb= o_vhtwT2gdrE2V5C8Y$ for graphic product...
