A watch issuance is possible for parts of the area depending on convective trends. DISCUSSION...Isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms are developing along an east-southeastward-moving outflow boundary associated with a remnant MCS over parts of northwestern MO this afternoon. Efficient heating of a moist air mass (upper 60s/lower 70s surface dewpoints) beneath modest midlevel lapse rates will continue to destabilize inflow for this activity as it spreads/develops east-southeastward through the afternoon. While deep-layer flow/shear across the pre-convective environment is not particularly strong, stronger midlevel winds should gradually overspread the area during the next couple of hours -- yielding around 30 kt of effective shear. This should generally support a few loosely organized storms capable of marginally severe hail and damaging winds initially, with a possible increase in severe-wind potential if any localized upscale growth occurs with east-southeastward extent.=20 Veered surface winds and somewhat marginal deep-layer shear across the warm sector casts uncertainty on storm longevity and coverage, though there appears to be some potential for a watch for parts of the area this afternoon. ...Weinman/Bunting.. 07/16/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!632qh-7UEIWCd_cqZ8gsI_CL9EbLdqxQS0UQ-dZRS7SrMd6p608ekL9yc4fwhiFq7nyNk5QO8= 2lgbv3vsUNPEQMuyvE$ for graphic product...
