    Areas affected...Iowa...northern Missouri...northeast Kansas

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

    Valid 101835Z - 102100Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...Severe storms are expected to develop by 20-21Z from
    western/central Iowa into northeast Kansas, spreading across
    southern Iowa into northern Missouri. Isolated strong tornadoes,
    large hail and damaging winds will all be possible through evening.

    DISCUSSION...Convection associated with a lead wave has left an
    outflow boundary from central IA into northern MO, where
    temperatures are cooler but dewpoints remain in the low 70 F. West
    of there, a surface trough is deepening into eastern NE, western IA
    and northern KS. This region lies beneath west/southwest flow aloft
    on the order of 40-50 kt, south of the primary wave to the
    northeast.

    Visible imagery and surface observations indicate that substantial destabilization is taking place ahead of the front, including the
    residual outflow area. CU fields are already evident from western IA
    into KS, and there is minimal capping. Persistent southwest
    low-level winds with 35-40 kt at 850 mb and heating/boundary layer
    mixing should easily recover the previously cooled outflow area,
    where low-level shear may remain locally stronger. Low-level shear,
    in general, will also increase between 21-00Z ahead of the
    developing broken line of storms as pressures fall. Wind profiles
    will favor supercells, with effective SRH increasing into the
    200-300 m2/s2 range.

    Given the lack of capping, 1-2 more hours of heating will support
    storms near the cold front from central/southwest IA into northeast
    KS. If storms can remain discrete, a few tornadoes appear likely.
    Given relatively slow storm movement and HP supercell mode, strong
    tornado potential may remain localized, along with mesocyclonic
    significant wind gusts. Hail over 2.00" diameter is expected. The
    high PWAT environment and lack of capping should support eventual
    widespread coverage near the boundary with outflows and bowing
    structures.
