Areas affected...Eastern IA...Northern IL

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

Valid 070232Z - 070430Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

SUMMARY...Isolated strong/severe thunderstorms are possible across
eastern Iowa and northern Illinois over the next several hours.
Large hail would be the primary risk.

DISCUSSION...Southern influence of upper Great Lakes short-wave
trough will glance eastern IA/northern IL over the next few hours.
Latest IR imagery suggests deeper convection is beginning to evolve
ahead of the front with showers now evident from north of DVN into
extreme southeast WI. This activity is evolving within a fairly
moist, but capped boundary-layer environment where MLCAPE is in
excess of 2000 J/kg. 00z sounding from DVN appears to have sampled
this pre frontal air mass well, and strong capping is evident near
750mb. However, large-scale forcing for ascent along with a focused
LLJ suggest sustained elevated convection may materialize along this
corridor. Latest CAMs support this as well and there is increasing
concern that a few storms may strengthen enough to produce hail.
Will continue to monitor this region for possible severe
thunderstorm watch.
