    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 157...

    Valid 062320Z - 070045Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 157
    continues.

    SUMMARY...The threat for large hail and damaging wind continues
    across WW 157. Some upscale growth is possible with time into this
    evening, with the threat expected to spread southward through the
    watch.

    DISCUSSION...At 2315Z, several severe thunderstorms are ongoing
    along a surface boundary from eastern NE into central IA. The
    environment across this region is characterized by strong
    instability (MLCAPE of 2500-4000 J/kg) and weekly veering wind
    profiles. Effective shear of 20-30 kt is marginal at best for
    organized storm structures, though the westward propagating cell
    north of Omaha has exhibited some supercell characteristics. In the
    short term, the more discrete cells across eastern NE will pose a
    threat of large hail (potentially greater than 2 inches in diameter
    with any supercell structures) and locally damaging wind. Further
    east, consolidation of outflows across western/central IA has
    resulted in a southward acceleration of ongoing convection. The
    storm mode is becoming less favorable for large hail in this area,
    but more widespread damaging wind potential is possible as expanding
    cold pools advance into a warm and moist airmass. A 62 kt gust was
    noted in Ames, IA around 2230Z.

    With time this evening, storms may consolidate over eastern NE and
    begin propagating southward, spreading a threat of large hail and
    damaging wind into southeast NE by mid-evening, while the Iowa
    convection spreads a threat of wind and isolated severe hail into southwest/south-central IA. There is some potential for the severe
    threat to spread slightly eastward out of the watch in IA, and also
    propagate slightly westward out of the watch in NE, though the
    primary threat is expected to remain confined within WW 157 for at
    least the next 1-2 hours.
