Convective trends are being monitored for the need of a Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance. DISCUSSION...An elongated MCS continues to gradually progress eastward along a stationary surface frontal boundary. Small bowing segments along the IA/MN border have recently produced sub-severe winds, with the Mason City, IA ASOS recently reporting rapid surface pressure rises and a 43 kt gust. Though some anvil cirrus have overspread some of the preceding warm sector, surface temperatures are warming into the 80s F amid at least low 70s F dewpoints, yielding 1500+ J/kg MLCAPE. Despite the aforementioned buoyancy, the stronger deep-layer shear is primarily confined to the post-frontal environment, and is oriented roughly parallel to the elongated MCS leading line. As such, there are questions regarding how intense this MCS may become through mid-afternoon, with regional radar imagery showing convective outflow gradually undercutting the MCS. Nonetheless, given preceding buoyancy, it is plausible that an uptick in damaging gust potential may increase pending favorable self-organization of the MCS. Such conditions are being monitored for the subsequent need of a Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance. ...Squitieri/Hart.. 08/09/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!6hY2oIzH7UB81RCdvxQuP7PdpImywp1s2QKfM6mPgjTVYGl6Den-rc9WWsFoS_tk8aKg6Zv-1= MtcYW7a3V6xU0QnFac$ for graphic product...
