An isolated damaging wind gust may be possible with the strongest and most organized storms, but a severe thunderstorm watch is unlikely. DISCUSSION...A prefrontal north-northeast to south-southwest-oriented band of storms across Iowa and Wisconsin ahead of a midlevel impulse has begun strengthening and deepening this afternoon. Relatively clear skies ahead of these storms has resulted in surface heating and modest destabilization (~1000 J/kg of MLCAPE per recent mesoanalysis). Recent VWPs from ARX indicate around 30 knots of deep-layer shear, supporting the possibility of at least some storm organization. The poor midlevel lapse rates, however, will likely limit the overall severe threat. With over 30 knots of flow around 1-km AGL and relatively steep low-level lapse rates, isolated damaging wind gusts may be possible with the strongest storms. ...Jirak/Hart.. 07/05/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!5JqDinve-ZkZqAf5qb3h8ZQzmg51X2HbCm0E4W_GqcNQ6Davxj_1mAbyJzxE3QJDJ_Se0qiRD= eEgO_HKog3aBGWhAq8$ for graphic product...
