   ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Severe thunderstorms are not expected the remainder of tonight.

   ...01z Update...

   Strong upper trough has progressed into the Mid MS Valley early this
   evening, currently extending from northwest MO-northern AR. As a
   result, focused exit region of the mid-level jet has shifted into
   the lower OH Valley as evident by the extensive precip shield along
   the nose of the LLJ.

   Upstream, the loss of diurnal heating will prove detrimental to
   surface-based convection immediately ahead of the upper trough as
   boundary-layer cooling cripples an otherwise weakly buoyant air
   mass. Remnants of earlier severe that developed over northeast OK
   has progressed into the MO Ozark Plateau where substantial weakening
   has been observed. With downstream surface temperatures in the 40s
   to lower 50s, there appears to be limited buoyancy for robust
   updrafts. For these reasons, severe probabilities are too low to
   warrant a continuation of the MRGL Risk tonight.
