    Mesoscale Discussion 1352
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

    Areas affected...North-central Iowa

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 250002Z - 250200Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated supercell may produce damaging wind gusts,
    marginally severe hail, or perhaps a brief tornado before moving
    into a more stable airmass and weakening. A WW issuance is not
    anticipated.

    DISCUSSION...A lone supercell thunderstorm, currently over Cerro
    Gordo County, IA, is currently showing broad mid-level rotation. A
    funnel cloud was also reported in Hancock County, IA within the past
    45 minutes, with 1.25 inch hail reported more recently in Cerro
    Gordo, County. Currently, this storm is moving east-southeast in an
    airmass supporting updraft organization and marginally severe
    wind/hail (MLCAPE on the order of 1500 J/kg). Kinematically
    speaking, 40-50 knots of effective bulk shear are present across IA.
    The storm may also be traversing a combined warm front/differential
    heating boundary, ingesting enough low-level streamwise vorticity to
    acquire updraft rotation. Storm mergers along the supercell's flank
    may also foster stronger cold-pool evolution, potentially elevating
    the threat for damaging, gusty winds with some upscale growth
    possible. Still, this supercell, maintaining a mainly eastward
    component of motion, is quickly moving into a more stable
    environment and a weakening trend is expected within the next 1-2
    hours. Until then, marginally severe wind/hail in addition to a
    possible brief tornado remain possible.

    Given the brevity and localized nature of the severe threat, the
    issuance of a severe weather watch is not expected at this time.
