    Areas affected...Northeast KS to central IA

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 72...

    Valid 032258Z - 040030Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 72
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Severe-weather threat spreading north into more of
    southern and central Iowa this evening has resulted in a north and
    northeast expansion of WW 72. Severe storms remain possible across
    much of WW 72, though some diminishing trend in coverage of
    strong-severe storms may persist in northeast KS.

    DISCUSSION...Trends in surface observations since late afternoon
    showed a warm front was advancing north, with the 22Z position
    analyzed from near and just north of I-80 in western and central IA,
    and then extended northeast into southwest WI. Southerly low-level
    winds in the warm sector have allowed greater moisture to advance
    into central and northeast IA with surface dewpoints in the middle
    60s. Despite earlier surface heating and this moisture return,
    modest midlevel lapse rates of 6.5-7 C/km are limiting stronger
    destabilization with mixed-layer CAPE up to 1000 J/kg. Given strong
    effective bulk shear and effective SRH of 200-300 m2/s2, organized
    storms with low-level rotation will remain possible. Enhance
    low-level shear in vicinity of the warm front, given backed winds,
    could increase the tornado threat. Otherwise, large hail and
    strong/damaging wind gusts will be possible as well.

    Farther southwest, weaker midlevel lapse rates as compared to the
    modest values in IA may be inhibiting stronger/sustained updrafts
    across this portion of WW 72. In addition, veered low-level winds
    southwest of the southwestern IA surface low are limiting
    convergence and likelihood for greater storm coverage.

    Areas affected...Parts of northern Florida into southeastern Georgia

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 60...

    Valid 141807Z - 141930Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 60 continues.

    SUMMARY...It appears that the risk for severe wind and tornadoes may
    remain isolated and/or marginal enough that a new watch may not be
    needed. However, trends will continue to be monitored.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorm development persists along the leading
    edge of conglomerate pre-cold frontal convective outflow, advancing
    eastward around 30 kt. Ahead of this activity a seasonably moist
    boundary layer appears to have become modestly unstable with CAPE on
    the order of 1000-1500 J/kg, in the continuing presence of strong
    deep layer shear beneath 40-50+ kt southwesterly 500 mb flow.
    However, in the wake of the deepening surface cyclone now migrating northeastward through the lower Ohio Valley, low-level flow has
    begun to weaken some while also veering to south-southwesterly.
    With substantive anvil cloud cover and stratiform precipitation also
    continuing to impact the low-level storm inflow region, potential
    for appreciable intensification of thunderstorm activity spreading
    across the remainder of southeast Georgia and northern Florida
    through 21-22Z remains unclear.
