    Areas affected...Eastern Iowa...northeastern Missouri...southwestern Wisconsin...and northwestern Illinois

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

    Valid 101609Z - 101815Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorms are currently moving northeastward
    through central Iowa and northeastern Missouri. These storms may
    gradually strengthen in the next couple of hours, posing a threat
    for wind gusts and small hail. A watch will likely be needed soon in
    the northern portion of the highlighted area.

    DISCUSSION...A couple of thunderstorm complexes are moving through
    central IA and northeastern MO this morning. A few 40+ kt gusts have
    been reported across central IA with the strongest cores. Per
    current mesoanalysis, they are located along the leading edge of a
    mid-level impulse propagating through IA in a zone of broad
    upper-level difluence. Modest heating amidst scattered cloud cover
    is yielding gradual warming into the low-/mid-80s F which --
    combined with dewpoints in the lower 70s F -- supports MLCAPE around
    1500 J/kg ahead of the storms. Bulk shear is around 25-30 kts,
    increasing to around 30-35 kts in the northern portion of the
    highlighted area.

    The general expectation is for these storms to gradually intensify
    as they move northeastward during the next couple of hours.
    Convective evolution remains uncertain; some high-resolution
    guidance depicts a consolidated cold pool and bowing system, while
    others depict more discrete through early afternoon. Regardless of
    mode, the background environment should support a gradually
    ramping-up threat for wind gusts and small hail. Watch issuance is
    likely in the short term in the delineated area to cover these
    threats.
