Valid 232338Z - 240145Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 690, 692, 693 continues. SUMMARY...Severe-weather potential continues from northern Missouri to eastern Oklahoma this evening, where very large hail and damaging wind gusts remain possible locally. DISCUSSION...Clusters of strong/locally severe storms continue to develop/evolve, per latest radar loop, ahead of an advancing cold front, near a pre-frontal trough/dryline. The storms are situated within a strongly unstable airmass (2500 to 3500 J/kg mixed-layer CAPE), aided by a very moist boundary layer (upper 60s to low 70s surface dewpoints) beneath very steep mid-level lapse rates.=20=20 Shear (around 40 kt sfc-6km) remains sufficient for mid-level updraft rotation, with a mix of multicell clusters and supercell modes observed. Along with potential for very large hail in the shorter term, locally damaging wind gusts will remain possible for the next several hours. Additionally, as a 40-plus kt southwesterly low-level jet evolves this evening, storms will likely spread eastward out of the existing watches across the Ozarks region, which could require consideration for downstream WW issuance later this evening. ...Goss.. 09/23/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!6w781nW_qnL0jCFXEvpDTHnuLhnprJqg-BlSjX-Djo0bUa2nBDeKQ_e7602S4AjMgRUTATSGV= zhXVOiO22S3C5MuI7g$ for graphic product...
