DISCUSSION...A small cluster of thunderstorms is present over southeastern MO this morning. One of the thunderstorms embedded in the cluster has recently strengthened into a supercell in a moderately unstable and strongly sheared environment. Clear skies downstream into western KY/TN and the presence of a very moist low-level airmass (surface dewpoints generally in the mid to upper 70s) should support an increasing chance for surface-based convection over the next couple of hours as lingering MLCIN gradually erodes. Any cell that can remain at least somewhat discrete should pose a threat for large hail. If convection continues to cluster and move southeastward with time, then severe/damaging winds would be a greater concern as low-level lapse rates steepen. Convective evolution for the rest of this morning into early afternoon remains uncertain. But, given the favorable environment, watch issuance may eventually be warranted if thunderstorms can strengthen further. ...Gleason/Bunting.. 07/17/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!6kNzaoApMQ8jNhGm8dVV0OPlcHPTguNZb9QWXqD3bgAzdcgodfSCtXGOSQzhVmiOJ0isY2meq= Lm90tRjIdAHwzk3E0o$ for graphic product...
