    Areas affected...Portions of northern MO...extreme northeastern
    KS...far southern IA...and far west-central IL

    Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely=20

    Valid 291018Z - 291215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Downstream Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance will likely
    be needed to address and increasing threat for damaging winds and
    large hail as thunderstorms spread eastward this morning.

    DISCUSSION...Multiple supercells capable of producing very large
    hail and severe/damaging winds are ongoing early this morning across southeastern NE into north-central KS. A strongly unstable airmass
    is present downstream of these thunderstorms along/near a surface
    front that is draped east-west along/near the IA/MO border. MUCAPE
    of 3000-4000 J/kg across this area is being supported by steep
    mid-level lapse rates and a moist low-level airmass. A belt of
    modestly enhanced mid-level flow also extends from the
    northern/central Plains into the Upper Midwest on the southern
    periphery of an upper trough. A veering/strengthening wind profile
    with height through mid levels is shown in recent VWPs from
    KTOP/KEAX, along with a 35-50 kt west-southwesterly low-level jet.
    35-45+ kt of effective bulk shear will support continued updraft
    organization and intensity, with supercells and a large hail threat
    remaining possible.

    Most high-resolution guidance suggests that a small bowing cluster
    will consolidate along or perhaps just south of the IA/MO border in
    northern MO. This cluster should pose an increasing threat for
    severe/damaging winds as it spreads eastward across this area and
    towards the MS River through the morning. Severe Thunderstorm Watch
    issuance will likely be needed downstream of the ongoing supercells
    across northern MO and vicinity.
