    Mesoscale Discussion 1383
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0607 PM CDT Tue Aug 28 2018

    Areas affected...East Central Iowa from Johnson through Scott and
    Clinton Counties.

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 357...

    Valid 282307Z - 290000Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 357
    continues.

    SUMMARY...A narrow corridor of strong damaging winds and potential
    line embedded tornadoes exists for the next hour across Johnson and
    Washington Counties in Iowa.

    DISCUSSION...A strong bowing segment has developed in east central
    Iowa where the line has interacted with the outflow boundary from
    earlier convection and is moving toward Iowa City. A sharp
    reflectivity gradient and a developing rear inflow jet suggest this
    bowing segment may be producing significantly strong wind gusts.
    Current lowest tilt wind speeds in the apex of this bow are measured
    around 85 knots per both the DMX and DVN 88D. These wind speeds are
    being measured around 6000 feet in the storm, but still represent
    the area of greatest wind speed. Wind gusts were measured at 68 mph
    south of the apex of this bow where measured wind speeds are much
    less and the reflectivity structure is not as organized. Therefore,
    would expect that surface wind speeds may be in excess of 80 mph on
    the apex of this bow. In addition, a large mesovortex has formed on
    the northern edge of this bowing segment. This vortex will lead to
    the possibility of a narrow swath of even stronger winds and even a
    few tornadoes. Significant wind damage may be possible across
    Johnson County, Iowa and could persist as far east as Quad Cities.
