    Mesoscale Discussion 1359
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0953 AM CDT Sun Aug 26 2018

    Areas affected...Western/Central IA...Far Northeast NE...Far
    Southeast SD...Far Southwest MN

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 261453Z - 261700Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated hail and damaging wind gusts are possible across
    the region over the next several hours. A watch is not expected in
    the short-term but trends are monitored.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorm coverage across southwest IA and vicinity
    continues to increase as strong warm-air advection persist into the
    region, augmented by lift from a low-amplitude shortwave trough
    moving northeastward into the central Plains. Steep mid-level lapse
    rates exists downstream across IA (as evidenced by regional 12Z
    sounding and recent mesoanalysis) and the general expectation is for thunderstorm to continue for at least the next several hours with
    some increase in coverage possible. Given the relatively warm
    mid-level temperatures, surface-based storms appear unlikely with
    updrafts generally expected to remain rooted some where between 850
    and 700 mb. Consequently, the primary severe threat is expected to
    be hail. Even so, high LFCs atop warm mid-level temperatures promote
    high DCAPE values and the potential for some strong negative
    buoyancy, resulting in the possibility for damaging wind gusts. A
    gust of 40 kt was recently measured at SUX. Uncertainty regarding
    severe storm coverage leads to low watch probability over the next
    couple of hours but convective trends will be monitored closely.
