Areas affected...Central Iowa

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

Valid 060317Z - 060415Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...A severe wind threat will persist across central Iowa for
the next 1-2 hours; however, this threat will likely remain
sufficiently isolated to preclude watch issuance.

DISCUSSION...An MCS has become fairly well-organized across
central/northwest IA over the past 1-2 hours with bowing segments
evident in KDMX imagery and a 49 knot wind gust reported from the
northern section of the line. This activity is expected to continue
propagating southeast into central IA along a diffuse warm frontal zone/buoyancy gradient. VWP observations from KDMX and RAP forecast
soundings suggest effective bulk shear values are on the order of
25-30 knots. While not strong, this should be sufficient to maintain
the MCS for the next couple of hours as it approaches the periphery
of the buoyant air mass. Consequently, the potential for
severe/damaging winds should persist prior to weakening (which
should occur during the 05-07 UTC time frame). Clustered storms on
the southern end of the line currently show poor signs of cold pool consolidation, but if this occurs a wind threat may emerge across
southwest to southern IA where buoyancy is more abundant (MLCAPE
values approaching 1500-2000 J/kg).
