Areas affected...Parts of IA into extreme northwest IL

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

Valid 190937Z - 191130Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

SUMMARY...Isolated hail and strong thunderstorm gusts are possible
early this morning.

DISCUSSION...An arc of elevated convection has recently intensified
from west-central into eastern IA, aided by ascent attendant to a
powerful cyclone moving across KS, and within an environment
characterized by MUCAPE of around 500 J/kg and cold temperatures
aloft. Increasing midlevel flow northeast of the cyclone is
supporting effective shear of 30-40 kt, assuming a sufficiently deep
updraft. Some transient storm organization will remain possible
through the early morning, with a favorable thermodynamic
environment for production of small to isolated severe hail, as
noted earlier north of Omaha. Localized strong gusts also cannot be
ruled out with any more organized and sustained cells.
