   Areas affected...portions of central and southern MO

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 697...

   Valid 310605Z - 310730Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 697
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Severe thunderstorm potential will decrease over the next
   1-2 hours across central/southern Missouri. New watch issuance
   downstream from Severe Thunderstorm Watch 697 is not expected.

   DISCUSSION...A line of storms extending from central into southern
   MO will continue to shift east overnight. Convection has largely
   weakened over the past hour or so as axis of elevated instability
   becomes increasing pinched off with northward extent and boundary
   layer inhibition has increased with loss of heating. Strong
   deep-layer flow remain over the region, and a locally strong gust
   around 45-60 mph may be possible for another hour or two. Downstream
   watch issuance is not anticipated.
