   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 481...

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 481
   continues.

   SUMMARY...A few additional damaging gusts may accompany ongoing
   storms over western MO for a few more hours.

   DISCUSSION...An MCS continues to progress east-southeast across
   western MO, where a couple of strong/damaging wind gusts have been
   reported in the past couple of hours. Buoyancy decreases with
   eastward extent ahead of the MCS, so questions remain regarding how
   long the severe wind threat may last. Nonetheless, strong 850 mb WAA
   and over 3000 J/kg of MUCAPE in the immediate vicinity of the MCS
   suggests that strong wind gusts should remain possible for at least
   a couple more hours. Meanwhile, the southwesterly LLJ overspreading
   the remnant cold pool behind the MCS leading line is also supporting
   back-building convection. If back-building cellular development is
   strong enough, some hail may be observed as well.
