The wider storm
On the 15th, the Quad State was positioned in the warm sector ahead of a Northern Plains low pressure system. In Southeast Missouri, effective shear was 50-70kts, MLCAPE was 1500-2000J/kg, and DCAPE was around 700-800J/kg. A capping inversion kept severe weather potential at bay but, ahead of an area of moderate rain, gusty non-thunderstorm winds blew down tree branches and some shingles in parts of Southeast Missouri.
