    Areas affected...east-central MO...southern IL...southwest IN and
    northwest KY

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

    Valid 020616Z - 020745Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Severe thunderstorms, with an accompanying risk of
    damaging gusts and a couple tornadoes will persist overnight across
    southern Illinois into southwest Indiana and adjacent northwest
    Kentucky. A watch will likely be needed in the next hour.

    DISCUSSION...A robust bowing segment moving into east-central
    Missouri is expected to persist through the overnight hours as it
    shifts east along a warm front. Mesoanalysis indicates little
    low-level inhibition across the region. Surface dewpoints in the mid
    60s are contributing to modest instability (500-1000 J/kg MLCAPE).
    Despite this modest instability, low-level shear ahead of the bowing
    segment has increased considerable tonight. Regional VWP data
    indicates enlarged and favorably curved low-level hodographs. Given
    a more linear storm mode, damaging gusts will likely be the main
    risk with bowing segments overnight. However, given the strong
    vertical shear and veering with height low-level wind profiles, a
    couple of tornadoes associated with mesovortex formation will also
    be possible. A watch will likely be needed within the hour.
