AREAS AFFECTED...NORTHERN/CENTRAL IA AND ADJACENT WI/MN/IL
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 589...
VALID 151841Z - 152015Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 589
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...STRONG TO LOCALLY SEVERE WIND THREAT SHOULD INCREASE INTO
LATE AFTERNOON WITH AN EASTWARD-PROGRESSING CLUSTER FROM
NORTH-CENTRAL IOWA. AN ADDITIONAL SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH MAY BE
WARRANTED DOWNSTREAM.
DISCUSSION...DESPITE THE PRESENCE OF A CLUSTER THAT HAS ACCELERATED
TO AROUND 40-KT EASTERLY MOVEMENT, SURFACE WIND GUSTS APPEAR TO NOT
EVEN BE STRONG YET, WHICH COULD BE RELATED TO THE INITIALLY ELEVATED
CHARACTER OF THE CLUSTER AND MODEST COLD POOL/WARM SECTOR
TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCES FROM 10-15 F. MLCIN APPEARS TO BE FINALLY
MINIMIZING DOWNSTREAM AND THUS STRONG TO SPORADIC SEVERE GUSTS
SHOULD DEVELOP ON APPROACH TO PEAK HEATING AS THE CLUSTER SPREADS
INTO THE NORTHEAST IA VICINITY. HAIL GROWTH WILL PROBABLY REMAIN
LIMITED AND GENERALLY CONFINED ALONG THE TRAILING WEST/SOUTHWEST
FLANK WHERE MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES REMAIN STEEP PER THE 18Z OAX
SOUNDING, BUT WITH ONLY 20-KT EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR AT THIS LATITUDE.
