    1218 PM CDT Fri Jul 11 2025

    Areas affected...Parts of southern/central IA into northern
    MO...western IL...and far southwest WI

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

    Valid 111718Z - 111845Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...Severe storm development is expected later today, with a
    threat of a few tornadoes, scattered damaging wind, and hail. Watch
    issuance is likely.

    DISCUSSION...Elevated convection has been ongoing this morning
    across parts of central/eastern IA. This convection is helping to
    reinforce a baroclinic zone across southern IA and northern MO, with
    a surface low expected to move eastward along the baroclinic zone
    this afternoon. As a convectively enhanced shortwave trough (with
    multiple embedded vorticity maxima) moves across the region,
    surface-based storm development is expected this afternoon within
    the baroclinic zone and near the surface low.=20

    Relatively strong heating of a richly moist airmass will result in
    moderate to strong destabilization, with MLCAPE increasing into the
    1500-3000 J/kg range. Effective shear of 30-40 kt will support some
    initial supercell potential, with a tendency for storm clustering
    possible with time. Favorably veering low-level wind profiles near
    the surface low and baroclinic zone could support tornado potential
    with any initial supercell development, along with some threat for
    damaging wind and hail. The damaging-wind threat may increase with
    time in association with any notable upscale growth. Watch issuance
    is likely this afternoon in order to cover these threats.
