Areas affected...southeastern Iowa...northern Missouri...far western
Illinois

Concerning...Tornado Watch 147...150...

Valid 280011Z - 280115Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 147, 150 continues.

SUMMARY...Damaging wind threat increasing. Tornado threat continues
within WW147 and WW150.

DISCUSSION...Thunderstorm activity across southeastern Iowa into
northeastern Missouri has evolved to become more linear, with
evidence of transient weak embedded mesovortices.  Lightning
activity has been most productive in the southern portion of the
line. Potential for damaging winds will increase as this line moves
northeast, though tornado potential remains. The environment ahead
of this line remains unstable (with MLCAPE around 1000-2000 J/kg),
which should support continued severe risk over the next few hours,
though deep layer shear will tend to decrease with northern extent.
