    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 478...

    Valid 292228Z - 300000Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 478
    continues.

    SUMMARY...A thunderstorm cluster and associated cold pool will
    spread southward toward northwest Arkansas, and additional storm
    development is possible along the trailing outflow boundary into
    southeast Kansas.

    DISCUSSION...A thunderstorm cluster produced an outflow gust of 55
    kt at Springfield MO in the past 30 minutes, and local radar radar
    suggest a continuation of the severe-wind threat to the southeast of Springfield. The storms will likely be strongest near and just
    northeast of the merger of two cold pools across Christian/Taney
    County, and the larger-scale cold pool will continue southward into
    northwest AR by 2230-23z. Strong buoyancy is present south of the
    ongoing storms where vertical shear is weak, so the cluster will
    tend toward more outflow dominance over time. In the interim, a few
    severe gusts will be possible and could spread a little south of the
    watch into AR, though the need for a downstream watch is uncertain.

    Farther west, some convection is attempting to deepen along the
    northwest edge of the cold pool, coincident with a small/remnant MCV
    from near and just north of Wichita KS. Surface temperatures in the
    low 90s with dewpoints near or above 70 F are supporting MLCAPE in
    excess of 3000 J/kg with minimal convective inhibition. Isolated
    severe storm development may occur in the next 1-2 hours as the MCV
    interacts with the outflow boundary, in an environment with
    marginally sufficient vertical shear for semi-organized clusters
    and/or some marginal supercell structure. The watch may need to be
    extended in area by a tier of counties to the west if the KS
    convection shows signs of intensification.
