A new Severe Thunderstorm Watch is likely downstream this evening. DISCUSSION...As of 2240 UTC, regional radar imagery showed scattered strong to severe storms ongoing across portions of central and eastern IA. Over the last 90 minutes these storms have shown a general increase in intensity with higher reflectively cores and several reports of severe hail. Driven primarily by warm advection over a previous outflow, additional storm development appears likely over the next couple of hours. In addition to observational trends, recent HRRR runs suggest the ongoing more robust storms should persist with some upscale growth into one or more organized clusters possible this evening across eastern IA and downstream. While the air mass downstream is not as moist owing to stronger mixing from very warm surface temperatures, moderate buoyancy and steep low-level lapse rates should be sufficient for continued maintenance of strong updrafts. Vertical shear of 40-45 kt will also continue to support organized storm modes included short line segments and supercells. Hail and damaging winds appear to be the primary threat though a tornado or two will remain possible with the more discrete supercells. A new Severe Thunderstorm Watch is likely needed over portions of western IL, northeastern MO this evening. ...Lyons/Bunting.. 06/24/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!4HWKI8DazaX1rjQLxKp4mOfm4gjve7y2tsiEwfvmDOq4rm0vSm1AduS9Tg5rrZ4KjYqXXxrGI= B54b9tA-wclcMwxtPo$ for graphic product...
