Areas affected...Far east-central Missouri...parts of southern
Illinois

Concerning...Tornado Watch 70...

Valid 301927Z - 302100Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 70 continues.

SUMMARY...Supercells moving into southern Illinois will pose a
threat for tornadoes (possibly strong) and large to very-large hail.

DISCUSSION...Storms in and moving into southern Illinois have so far
remained discrete. Regional VAD data suggest that this region
remains favorable for low-level rotation in supercells. As long as
storms remain discrete, which is not certain given the cold front
moving southeastward, there will be a threat for a tornado (possibly
strong) and large to very-large hail.

Special Weather Statement issued April 21 at 3:53PM MDT by NWS Great Falls MT

Scattered thunderstorms moving southeast over much of North Central and Central Montana east of the Rocky Mountain Front will continue through at least the afternoon hours. These storms are producing isolated cloud-to-ground lightning strikes, brief heavy rainfall, wind gusts to 40 mph, and small hail or graupel. These storms may also produce brief cold air funnels, which are mostly harmless. However, if they briefly touch down as landspouts, they may cause even stronger winds gusts or possibly some minor damage to trees or structures. If you spot either of these, move indoors until the storm passes, and we would appreciate
