    Mesoscale Discussion 0240

    Areas affected...Parts of IA into extreme northwest IL

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 190937Z - 191130Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated hail and strong thunderstorm gusts are possible
    early this morning.

    DISCUSSION...An arc of elevated convection has recently intensified
    from west-central into eastern IA, aided by ascent attendant to a
    powerful cyclone moving across KS, and within an environment
    characterized by MUCAPE of around 500 J/kg and cold temperatures
    aloft. Increasing midlevel flow northeast of the cyclone is
    supporting effective shear of 30-40 kt, assuming a sufficiently deep
    updraft. Some transient storm organization will remain possible
    through the early morning, with a favorable thermodynamic
    environment for production of small to isolated severe hail, as
    noted earlier north of Omaha. Localized strong gusts also cannot be
    ruled out with any more organized and sustained cells.
