Valid 141645Z - 141845Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 377 continues. SUMMARY...The threat for isolated strong gusts or marginal hail continues mainly from northeast Iowa into southwest Wisconsin. It is unclear if another watch will be needed in the short term. DISCUSSION...A north-south oriented band of storms continues eastward across the watch and is now crossing the MS River. This activity is associated with the leading warm advection ahead of the midlevel wave, with veered low-level winds across central IA feeding instability eastward. Objective analysis shows less instability ahead of the system compared to farther west, but continued theta-e advection and areas of filtered sunshine may aid destabilization enough for some of this activity to become severe. While an additional watch is not anticipated in the near term downstream of this ongoing line, trends will continue to be monitored for strengthening. ..Jewell.. 07/14/2021 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
