Mesoscale Discussion 0336
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1126 PM CDT Mon Apr 01 2024

Areas affected...portions of central Missouri into southwestern
Illinois

Concerning...Tornado Watch 71...

Valid 020426Z - 020600Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 71 continues.

SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across Tornado Watch 71.
Damaging gusts and a few QLCS tornadoes remain a concern over the
next few hours, particularly with any circulations that can interact
with a boundary draped across central MO.

DISCUSSION...A QLCS is progressing across southwestern into central
MO and is interacting with a quasi-stationary boundary left behind
by earlier storms. Multiple mesovortices have developed along the
intersection of the QLCS and the aforementioned boundary, and this
behavior is expected to continue over the next few hours. Damaging
gusts may also accompany bowing segments associated with the QLCS.
Elevated supercells behind the boundary are also in progress to the
west the St. Louis metro area, and these storms may pose a continued
severe hail/wind risk as well.
