Areas affected...Southwest Iowa...Far Nebraska...Far Northwest

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 500...

Valid 120428Z - 120600Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 500
continues.

SUMMARY...An isolated wind damage threat is expected to persist
across southwest Iowa and far northwest Missouri for another one to
two hours. Weather watch issuance is unlikely beyond the expiration
of Ww 500.

DISCUSSION...A line of strong to severe thunderstorms is ongoing
across western Iowa extending south-southwestward into far southeast
Nebraska. The RAP has weak instability ahead of the line with MLCAPE
of 500 to 1000 J/kg. This combined with strengthening low-level flow
will support continued thunderstorm development over the next few
hours. The Des Moines WSR-88D VWP currently has 60 kt of 0-6 km
shear which will be enough to continue an isolated severe threat a
little while longer with the stronger cells embedded in the line. A
few damaging wind gusts will be possible along the leading edge of
the line as it moves eastward across southwest Iowa and far
northwest Missouri. However, as instability continues to weaken
during the early overnight period, the severe threat will become
increasingly marginal.
