   THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 630
   CONTINUES.
   
   SUMMARY...SEVERE TSTM WATCH 630 CONTINUES UNTIL 03Z...WITH DAMAGING
   WINDS/SEVERE HAIL REMAIN POSSIBLE THROUGH EARLY/MID EVENING ACROSS
   MUCH OF SOUTHERN/EASTERN MO INTO SOUTHWEST IL...IN ADDITION TO
   NORTHWEST AR/EASTERN OK.
   
   DISCUSSION...ALONG AND AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT /AND A SURFACE LOW NEAR
   OR SOUTH OF ST LOUIS/...A COMPLEX CONVECTIVE MODE CONTINUES TO
   EVOLVE ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHERN/EASTERN MO INTO SOUTHWEST IL AMID
   INCREASINGLY NUMEROUS TSTMS. HERE...SOMEWHAT MORE ISOLATED/MORE
   ROBUST UPDRAFTS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ACROSS SOUTHEAST MO/SOUTHWEST IL
   AS OF 2245Z. THIS DEVELOPMENT IS SOME 50-75 MILES AHEAD OF A
   MORE-ORGANIZED/QUASI-LINEAR CONVECTIVE MODE ADVANCING SOUTHEASTWARD
   AT AROUND 45 KT ACROSS SOUTHWEST MO/NORTHWEST AR INTO EASTERN
   OK...WITH THIS QLCS FEATURING A NORTHEAST-PERIPHERAL VORTEX MOVING
   INTO SOUTH-CENTRAL MO IN VICINITY OF LACLEDE/WRIGHT/TEXAS COUNTIES
   AS OF 2245Z. RECENTLY MEASURED SEVERE/NEAR-SEVERE GUSTS INCLUDE 49
   KT AT FAYETTEVILLE AR /2225Z/.
   
   OVER THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO /THROUGH 00Z-01Z/...SEVERE HAIL/DAMAGING
   WINDS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE WITH ONGOING STORMS ACROSS FAR SOUTHEAST
   MO/SOUTHWEST IL. DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE PRIMARY CONCERN ACROSS
   THE REMAINDER OF SOUTHERN MO INTO NORTHWEST AR/EASTERN OK...ALTHOUGH
   A BRIEF TORNADO MAY BE POSSIBLE ACROSS SOUTH-CENTRAL MO WITH THE
   AFOREMENTIONED VORTEX. ULTIMATELY...THE SQUALL LINE SHOULD CONTINUE
   TO GRADUALLY OVERTAKE THE PRE-QLCS TSTMS WITH ADDITIONAL UPSCALE
   GROWTH AND LIKELY SOUTHEASTWARD-PERSISTENCE OF A DAMAGING WIND
   THREAT INTO RECENTLY ISSUED SEVERE TSTM WATCH 632.
