    Areas affected...northeast Missouri...southern into eastern
    Iowa...far western Illinois

    Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely 311...

    Valid 111808Z - 112045Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...The environment is becoming more favorable for severe
    storms with potential for tornadoes, and new/updated tornado watches
    are likely over parts of Iowa, Missouri, and Illinois.

    DISCUSSION...Recent satellite and surface observations indicate a modifying/retreating outflow boundary into south-central IA where
    winds are now out of the south and with low 70s F dewpoints.
    Meanwhile, the synoptic cold front continues to push rapidly east,
    along with the shortwave trough. This front is located from central
    IA into northwest MO as of 18Z with gusty southwest winds ahead of
    it. GPS PWAT is over 1.80" now into southern IA. Low-level shear is
    quite favorable for rotating storms near the retreating outflow,
    with 0-1 SRH over 200 m2/s2.=20

    Over the next few hours, storms are likely to develop near the cold
    front, and perhaps within the warm advection zone near the modifying
    outflow boundary. Supercells are expected initially with deep-layer
    shear near 55 kt and ample low-level SRH to support rightward cell
    propagation relative to the cold front orientation. A few strong
    tornadoes will be possible. Damaging winds also are likely as
    high-PWAT air mass supports ample downdraft material with any larger
    storm clusters or linear modes near the cold front.
