CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 789...790...

VALID 190908Z - 191015Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH
789...790...CONTINUES.

THOUGH ISOLATED OCCURRENCES OF DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL WILL REMAIN
POSSIBLE...THE OVERALL SEVERE THREAT APPEARS TO BE DIMINISHING AND
AN ADDITIONAL DOWNSTREAM WATCH IS NOT ANTICIPATED.

AS OF 0900Z...RADAR IMAGERY INDICATED THE LEADING EDGE OF A BOWING
MCS EXTENDING FROM FRANKLIN AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES SWWD TO
CHRISTIAN COUNTY MO.  DESPITE THE SYSTEM MOTION OF 290/40 KT...IT
APPEARS THAT GRADUALLY ACCUMULATING CONVECTIVE INHIBITION IS
BEGINNING TO LIMIT DOWNWARD MOMENTUM TRANSFER OF STRONGER WINDS
OBSERVED IN BASE VELOCITY DATA.  AS SUCH...THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE
CONTINUOUS/WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS SHOULD CONTINUE TO DIMINISH.
