Mesoscale Discussion 0528

Areas affected...portions of northern and central Iowa

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

Valid 261804Z - 261930Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...Elevated convection north of the advancing warm front may
pose a risk for isolated hail through the early afternoon.

DISCUSSION...As of 1800 UTC, regional radar analysis showed
developing thunderstorms north of a warm front across pats of
northern and central IA. Strong low-level warm advection is
occurring ahead of the front as an upper trough begins to lift
northeastward out of the central Plains. As broad scale ascent and
warm advection continue, elevated buoyancy will likely support
scattered thunderstorms. Steep mid-level lapse rates near 8 C/km and
around 1000 J/kg of MUCAPE will support occasional strong elevated
updrafts. Wind profiles are expected to continue to strengthen
during the day supporting a mixed supercell/cluster mode. Large hail
will be possible with the more robust cores above the cooler surface
temperatures. A greater severe risk may develop later this afternoon
as the surface layer gradually destabilizes. Given the elevated
nature of the convection limiting coverage of stronger storms a WW
is unlikely.
