MD 0457 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL…WATCH UNLIKELY FOR SOUTHWEST MO

Mesoscale Discussion 0457

0637 AM CDT Thu Apr 17 2025

Areas affected...southwest MO

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

Valid 171137Z - 171300Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

SUMMARY...An isolated severe wind/hail threat may persist for a
couple more hours, but should diminish during the mid-morning.

DISCUSSION...Early morning convection has largely consolidated into
a cluster along the KS/MO border. This activity will probably
continue southeastward into southwest MO over the next couple hours.
While the leading cell in the cluster has lost its deep core, it may
produce a swath of strong gusts. Upstream embedded cell has yielded
marginally severe hail and may undergo a similar evolution to the
lead cell. This activity will be moving into a progressively drier
air mass in MO. In conjunction with diurnal weakening of the
low-level jet, this cluster should weaken by late morning.
