   Concerning...Tornado Watch 32...37...

   Valid 150342Z - 150445Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 32, 37 continues.

   SUMMARY...Severe/isolated tornado risk to continue from central
   Illinois southwestward into central Arkansas.

   DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows that supercell storms that
   moved through the St. Louis area have evolved toward more of a
   damaging wind risk, as they have interacted with a drier low-level
   airmass east of the Mississippi River.  With that said, damaging
   wind gusts remain likely, along with ongoing -- albeit somewhat
   lesser -- tornado potential.

   Farther south-southwestward along the convective band, more
   isolated/classic-looking supercells extend across southeastern
   Missouri, and particularly into northeastern and into central
   Arkansas.  Specifically, strong rotation is noted within several
   storms in a zone from southeastern Reynolds/northwestern Wayne
   Counties in Missouri, southwestward to White County Arkansas.  Along
   with risk for damaging winds and hail, greatest tornado risk appears
   to exist across this zone over the next couple of hours.  Southern
   portions of WW 32 may be extended in time, beyond its scheduled
   15/04Z expiration.
