Mesoscale discussion #1186 has been issued for northwestern Missouri and extreme eastern Kansas.
At 12:17 PM CDT, a disturbance was progressing eastward into 2000+ j/kg of instability. This disturbance should easily be able to pop some updrafts and develop them into potentially severe thunderstorms. There is also an old outflow boundary from this morning likely in eastern Missouri and southwest Illinois at this point in time, and that boundary may be able to produce some rogue storms.
