DISCUSSION...Some recent intensification has been noted with a long-lived storm cluster moving across west-central IA. Convection within this cluster likely remains somewhat elevated in nature, given that MLCINH is still relatively substantial across the region. However, steep midlevel lapse rates, favorable elevated buoyancy, and moderate deep-layer shear will continue to support organized convection in the short term, with a threat of localized hail and near-severe gusts.=20 The evolution of this system with time remains uncertain. The most favorable low-level convergence and large-scale ascent is forecast to become focused back to the west of this cluster later this afternoon, but modest downstream heating/destabilization may support potential for this system to become surface-based with time. Should a transition to surface-based convection occur, either with the ongoing cluster or new storms that may develop along its southern flank, than the severe threat will increase, including the potential for supercells with some tornado potential, given favorably veered low-level wind profiles (as noted on the KDMX VWP). Watch issuance is possible in order to address these threats, though the timing of any watch issuance remains somewhat uncertain. ...Dean/Guyer.. 09/23/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!_kXz9kLPXSdzPfYv0hbSMR3UFfSkYtQaQNaGIBneH7idXy1g7z-NxeEqi9BnVlxyb69uva56D= 8ztXVTuD4JatY5uQdo$ for graphic product...
