Should these storms show signs of becoming better organized, then watch issuance would be possible. DISCUSSION...A small cluster of thunderstorms has recently intensified over south-central Iowa in the vicinity of an east-west frontal boundary. Latest objective analysis shows this area within a zone of low-level warm advection, and also within the right entrance region of an upper-level jet maximum. Strong instability (MUCAPE in excess of 2500 J/kg) and around 40 kts of westerly shear will provide a favorable environment for some continued severe hail and wind threat, with some non-zero tornado potential in the vicinity of the boundary. The primary uncertainty is the degree of organization that would result in more than an isolated severe threat. Latest hi-res guidance remains varied regarding near-term forecasts for these storms, although the potential does exist for increased organization over the next few hours. Were this to occur, then watch issuance would be possible. Convective trends will be monitored closely. ...Bunting/Hart.. 07/20/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!49S3zdbcYHPJZGwNuY7Fd0MckCVv_exDXgoZqWanpUQOr03aObjw8updaDrSlMOuazBmOxXts= jOkpuslAuWDF2N_cP4$ for graphic product...
