Severe WX Severe threat 3/30-3/31

Below in "quotes" from the NWS St. Louis, MO in their early Tuesday morning AFD.

"Meanwhile, a potentially stronger shortwave and developing surface low make their way downstream late Saturday from the Plains. I say 'potentially' because there are vast differences evident in a cluster analysis of ensemble guidance and deterministic models regarding the speed and amplitude of the wave. Even in the scenarios depicting stronger synoptic forcing and ascent, instability remains in question. The CAPE/shear joint probabilities referenced above for Saturday make no improvements for the wave on Sunday, if anything they decrease. Along with the limited energy, the overall trough structure is not very organized. While the stronger deep-layer shear, 40-50 kts among available guidance, is somewhat concerning and would result in a few strong to severe thunderstorm given sufficient instability, this system bears almost no similarities to our last tangible severe weather threat earlier this month. While the SPC has a convective outlooks across the region for Sunday (6 days out), it is worth noting that the lead time of identifying potential severe weather events is in no way correlated to their strength or areal extent. While there is plenty of conditionality and mitigating factors surrounding the severe weather threat both days, they will be closely monitored."

Look nobody wants an outbreak of severe weather, especially tornadoes. People's property gets damaged/destroyed or people suffer injuries/die.
