Mesoscale Discussion 2177 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0105 AM CDT Thu Oct 31 2024 Areas affected...portions of central and southern MO Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 697... Valid 310605Z - 310730Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 697 continues. SUMMARY...Severe thunderstorm potential will decrease over the next 1-2 hours across central/southern Missouri. New watch issuance downstream from Severe Thunderstorm Watch 697 is not expected. DISCUSSION...A line of storms extending from central into southern MO will continue to shift east overnight. Convection has largely weakened over the past hour or so as axis of elevated instability becomes increasing pinched off with northward extent and boundary layer inhibition has increased with loss of heating. Strong deep-layer flow remain over the region, and a locally strong gust around 45-60 mph may be possible for another hour or two. Downstream watch issuance is not anticipated. ..Leitman.. 10/31/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...LSX...SGF...
