If realized, the threat may only last for a couple hours. DISCUSSION...An uptick in deep convection, largely displaced west of a leading outflow boundary, occurred about 30 minutes ago across a part of northeast MO, seemingly associated with a subtle MCV moving east. A gust of 48 mph was recently measured at the Columbia, MO ASOS where the trailing portion of outflow from this cluster overtook the lead outflow from a separate cluster of deep convection, now over west-central IL. As this northeast MO cluster merges into the leading cluster in west-central IL, an increase in strong to severe gusts may occur farther south in central IL. If this occurs, this may be relatively short-lived, around a couple hours, owing to southwesterly low-level flow roughly paralleling the large-scale convective outflow and lack of stronger forcing for ascent heading into sunrise. ..Grams/Edwards.. 08/01/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
