DISCUSSION...A weak surface low, beneath the southwestern periphery of mid-level troughing progression across the middle Mississippi into lower Ohio Valleys, has become a focus for modest destabilization and convective development to the southwest through south of the Greater St. Louis metropolitan area. Mid-levels are not particularly cold, and a relative warm layer aloft may become increasingly inhibitive to deeper convection soon, with the loss of daytime heating. However, deep-layer shear is strong, beneath 40+ kt west-northwesterly flow around 500 mb, and focused low-level convergence along a weak baroclinic zone extending to the southeast of the low, coupled with stretching associated with near-surface CAPE, has contributed to short-lived supercell structures posing potential for brief, weak tornadoes. It is possible that this could persist another hour or two, spreading toward areas near/north of the Carbondale vicinity. ..Kerr/Gleason.. 06/08/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
