   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
   MISSOURI/ILLINOIS AND SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO/WEST TEXAS...

   ...SUMMARY...
   A few strong to locally severe thunderstorms could occur this
   afternoon and early evening across parts of Missouri/Illinois and/or
   southeast New Mexico and West Texas.

   ...Missouri/Illinois...
   Mid-level height rises are generally expected over the region, and
   the front across central portions of Missouri and Illinois will not
   be overly southeastward-progressive through the afternoon/early
   evening. Strong heating south of the front and sufficient
   convergence near it should allow for widely scattered thunderstorm
   development along the front this afternoon, although much of the
   convection will otherwise be focused on the cool side of the
   boundary. While low/mid-tropospheric winds and deep-layer shear will
   be weak (30 kt or less), a few strong/briefly severe thunderstorms
   could occur, primarily with any convective development that
   originates on the warm/moderately unstable side of the boundary this
   afternoon.

   ...Eastern New Mexico/west Texas...
   A strong cold front will continue to make a steady southeastward
   progression across the region through this afternoon and evening.
   Although vertical shear near/ahead of the front will be weak,
   moderate instability may allow for a few strong or locally severe
   thunderstorms with expected near-frontal development during mid/late
   afternoon through early evening. Steepening mid-level lapse rates
   and strengthening effective shear in the post-frontal environment
   could also support some elevated thunderstorms with hail potential.
