Areas affected...Southeastern Iowa...Southern Wisconsin...and
Northern Illinois
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 466...
Valid 282229Z - 290000Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 466
continues.
SUMMARY...Strong-to-severe storms across east-central Iowa and along
the Wisconsin-Illinois border continue to advance southeastward
along/ahead of the cold front. A downstream watch is possible and
convective trends will continue to be monitored.
DISCUSSION...Ascent associated with an approaching midlevel
shortwave trough and surface convergence along a cold front have led
to the development of a broken line of strong-to-severe
thunderstorms from southwestern Wisconsin into southeastern Iowa.
With northwesterly deep-layer shear largely orthogonal to the cold
front, storms have remained semi-discrete to this point. As the
storms continue to advance to the east-southeast, the effective bulk
shear (~35 knots per mesoanalysis) may be slightly less supportive
of organized updrafts, but MLCAPE around 1500 J/kg should be
sufficient to support a continued threat of severe hail and damaging
winds until the boundary layer stabilizes this evening. Convective
trends will continue to be monitored for the need of a downstream
watch.
