    Mesoscale Discussion 1498

    Areas affected...Eastern IA...Southern WI...Northern IL...Northeast
    MO

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 251807Z - 252000Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Gradually increasing storm strength and organization may
    result in a high enough severe threat to merit a watch. Damaging
    wind gusts are the primary threat, although a tornado or two cannot
    be ruled out.

    DISCUSSION...Cold front continues to steadily progress eastward
    across IA with a developing convective line along its leading edge.
    This convective line has shown generally steady-state intensity over
    the past hour or so but the downstream thermodynamic environment
    appears a bit more favorable for intensification as warmer
    temperatures promote stronger instability, particularly across
    eastern IA. Farther east (i.e. northern IL and southern WI),
    temperatures and dewpoints are a bit lower and the thermodynamic
    environment does not currently appear particularly favorable. Even
    so, continued heating plus mid-level cooling associated with the
    approaching shortwave trough should result in enough instability for
    storm persistence/maintenance.

    Linear character of the ongoing storms suggests the primary severe
    threat will be damaging wind gusts. A tornado or two is also
    possible with the strongest portion of the line. Warm mid-level
    temperatures and the resulting lack of steeper lapse rates should
    keep hail sizes predominately below severe thresholds. Recent trends
    suggest severe coverage may high enough to merit a watch.
