0449 PM CDT MON SEP 15 2025
AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF EASTERN IOWA INTO CENTRAL
MISSOURI...NORTHERN AND CENTRAL ARKANSAS...FAR SOUTHWESTERN
TENNESSEE...FAR NORTHWESTERN MISSISSIPPI
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY
VALID 152149Z - 152315Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...5 PERCENT
SUMMARY...A COUPLE INSTANCES OF DAMAGING GUSTS OR HAIL MAY ACCOMPANY
THE STRONGER, LONGER-LIVED STORM CORES THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY
EVENING.
DISCUSSION...PULSE CELLULAR CONVECTION HAS RECENTLY INTENSIFIED AND
BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON, WITH SOME 40+ DBZ
ECHOES EXTENDING UP TO 50 KFT PER LATEST MRMS MOSAIC RADAR DATA
(ESPECIALLY IN EASTERN MO). THESE STORMS PERCOLATE IN INTENSITY AMID
1500-2500 J/KG MLCAPE ALONG A THETA-E AXIS, WHICH IS DRIVEN
PRIMARILY BY SEASONAL LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE AND STEEP BOUNDARY-LAYER
LAPSE RATES. DESPITE ADEQUATE BUOYANCY, VERTICAL WIND SHEAR OVER THE
MIDDLE MS VALLEY IS QUITE POOR, SUGGESTING THAT STORM ORGANIZATION
SHOULD BE LIMITED AT BEST. WHILE ISOLATED DAMAGING GUSTS OR AN
INSTANCE OF MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL MAY OCCUR, THE SEVERE THREAT
SHOULD REMAIN SPARSE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS.
