    Areas affected...Northwest Iowa into south-central Minnesota

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 140...

    Valid 180106Z - 180230Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 140
    continues.

    SUMMARY...A few stronger elevated storms may produce marginally
    severe hail.

    DISCUSSION...On the eastern edge of a plume of steep mid-level lapse
    rates, convection has formed behind the cold front due to weak warm
    advection over the boundary. 40-50 kts of effective shear will
    promote some risk of large hail with these storms. However, limited
    elevated buoyancy will limit the overall threat.

    Though parts of north-central Iowa are still ahead of the cold
    front, surface cooling has already contributed to an increase in
    MLCIN. The potential for development along/ahead of the front would
    appear to be low. If storms do develop, a similar hail and isolated
    wind damage threat would exist prior to the front undercutting
    convection.
