    Mesoscale Discussion 1497
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0927 AM CDT Tue Sep 25 2018

    Areas affected...Central/Southern IA.

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 251427Z - 251630Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorm coverage and intensity is expected to
    gradually increase over the next few hours. A few damaging wind
    gusts and/or instances of severe hail are possible.

    DISCUSSION...Recent regional radar imagery shows a fast-moving
    linear segment progressing into far west-central IA. This line
    segment appears to be associated with the leading edge of the better
    forcing for ascent attendant to the shortwave trough moving through
    the central Plains. Cold front progressing through the region is
    moving a bit slower than this line segment, which now appears to be
    co-located with the frontal zone. The downstream airmass is
    currently characterized by widespread cloudiness and meager
    instability. Even so, continued heating amidst the moderately moist
    airmass should help destabilization over the next few hours.
    Resultant moderately unstable airmass coupled with strong forcing
    for ascent and enhanced low- to mid-level flow should allow for
    increased thunderstorm coverage and intensity. A few of these storms
    could become severe, with the primary threat of damaging wind gusts.
    Some hail is also possible. Severe coverage is expected to be too
    low during the next few hours to merit a watch, but trends will be
    monitored closely.
