Damaging gusts and large hail will be possible as storms develop eastward through early evening. DISCUSSION...Visible satellite imagery shows increasing/deepening cumulus along the MO/IL portion of the cold front early this afternoon. Strong heating of a seasonally moist boundary layer is fostering weak to moderate instability (stronger instability with southwest extent into KS/OK). Isolated thunderstorms have recently develop across north-central MO just ahead of the cold front where inhibition has eroded. Additional thunderstorm development is expected along/ahead of the cold front over the next few hours. Stronger effective shear may lag just behind the cold front, regardless, sufficient speed shear and some stronger northwesterly mid/upper flow should allow for organized cells. Steep low-level lapse rates will support severe/locally damaging gust potential. Meanwhile, large hail also will be possible, particularly across southeast KS/northeast OK and portions of southwest MO where more robust updraft intensity is possible. Severe potential does become more uncertain with northeast extent given the more modest parameter space, but a severe thunderstorm watch will likely be needed within the next couple of hours for portions of the MCD area. ..Leitman/Guyer.. 06/08/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
