   Mesoscale Discussion 0329
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0645 PM CDT Mon Apr 01 2024

   Areas affected...eastern Missouri across Illinois and into far
   southwest Indiana.

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 68...

   Valid 012345Z - 020115Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 68 continues.

   SUMMARY...Training supercells will continue along a warm front from
   eastern Missouri to far western Indiana this evening.

   DISCUSSION...A mature supercell is moving through the northern St.
   Louis suburbs with another supercell east of Jefferson City. Thus
   far, the maximum hail size with these storms has been golf ball
   sized, but even larger hail is possible, especially as the low-level
   jet strengthens this evening. A vorticity rich environment along
   this warm front will support a tornado threat through the evening
   with the WoFs suggesting a narrow corridor of 2 STP along the front.
   WoFs 0-2km UH probabilities suggest the lead supercell will continue
   to support a tornado threat for the next several hours with peak
   probabilities in south-central Illinois.
