   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 530
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Increasing thunderstorm development appears likely in a
   corridor across north central Missouri, to the north of Interstate
   70, through 4-6 AM CDT.  Some of this activity may pose a risk for
   severe hail, which may continue beyond the watch expiration. 
   However, this threat may remain marginal enough that a new severe
   weather watch may not be needed.

   DISCUSSION...The primary initial convective development has been
   focused along the warm frontal zone near the 850 mb level, beneath
   the cooler mid-level temperatures.  To the south of this band,
   potential instability is larger, but inhibition associated with
   warmer mid-level temperatures has tended to suppress thunderstorm
   development.  However, latest model output continues to indicate
   that there will be increasing lift along this corridor through
   09-11Z, which seems likely to support increasing new thunderstorm
   development.  As this occurs, the environment will probably be
   conducive to a few supercell structures posing at least a marginal
   severe hail risk, before activity becomes more widespread.
