Valid 302057Z - 302230Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 163 continues. SUMMARY...Tornado and severe threat increasing through late afternoon/early evening. DISCUSSION...A few discrete supercells continue to mature across portions of far western/southwestern Iowa and far eastern Nebraska. These storms have developed near a deepening surface cyclone, attendant to an upper level shortwave trough, and ahead of a cold front within an increasingly unstable air mass. Backed surface flow remains in place within the warm sector across central and south central Iowa, and the warm front is slowly lifting northward. As a mid level jet max around 50-60 kt continues to overspread the region, low level shear profiles/hodographs will become even more favorable for tornadic supercells. This may especially be true along the aforementioned effective warm front where nearly parallel effective shear vectors with magnitudes of 55-60 kt will persist into early evening. ...Barnes/Lyons/Hart.. 04/30/2024 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!4RKVXmAdagzljJWo_I46Nu7Z-5Ayl5fF5PslV02yvJfi036itvVomsvEmrctoDnqetp0HKZpi= Oa6IZm19nXKYiPdABo$ for graphic product...
