Concerning...Tornado Watch 223...

Valid 132324Z - 140030Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 223 continues.

SUMMARY...The severe risk is gradually diminishing across Tornado
Watch 223, though an additional tornado or two is possible across
parts of south-central and perhaps northwest IA during the next hour
or so.

DISCUSSION...Over south-central IA, earlier diurnal heating of a
moist boundary layer (lower 70s surface dewpoints) has yielded a
small pocket of favorable surface-based instability -- where MLCAPE
is slightly higher (around 1000 J/kg). This surface-based inflow,
combined with backed surface winds beneath weakly veering flow aloft
(around 130 m2/s2 0-1km SRH per DMX VWP), could support an
additional brief supercell tornado or two during the next hour or
so. Farther north in northwest IA, enhanced background vorticity
amid ongoing shallow supercell structures could also support an
additional brief tornado or two before nocturnal static stability
increases.
