    Areas affected...Far eastern Nebraska to central Iowa

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 200004Z - 200200Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected to
    develop this evening along a cold front. Storms will likely pose a
    risk for large hail and damaging winds from far eastern Nebraska to
    central Iowa. Trends will be monitored, and a watch is possible if a sufficiently widespread threat becomes apparent.

    DISCUSSION...Latest surface observations across the Plains and upper Mississippi River valley reveal a gradually deepening surface low
    over south-central MN with a cold front pushing east/southeast into
    eastern SD/eastern NE. Latest GOES visible imagery reveals a
    deepening cumulus field along a surface trough ahead of the front
    and across parts of central IA, where an attempt at convective
    initiation was noted over the past hour. Latest RAP analyses
    indicate the warm sector is only weakly capped with around 500-1500
    J/kg MLCAPE. Strong flow aloft ahead of an approaching shortwave
    trough is supporting 40-50 knots of effective bulk shear largely
    orthogonal to the cold frontal boundary, which will may support
    broken linear segments and potentially a few discrete cells.=20=20

    In the near term, an isolated cell or two is possible across central
    IA where weak low-level confluence is promoting a couple of attempts
    at convective initiation, but thunderstorm chances should increase
    between 01-03 UTC as the cold front moves into IA. Convective trends
    will be monitored, and a watch is possible across the region when/if
    a sufficiently widespread severe threat becomes apparent.

    Areas affected...Parts of the FL Panhandle/north FL...Southeast
    AL...Southern GA

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

    Valid 221505Z - 221730Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorm coverage will increase into the afternoon.
    Isolated damaging winds and perhaps some hail will be possible.

    DISCUSSION...Strong storms have developed in multiple areas near the
    FL/GA border this morning, with one cluster noted northeast of
    Tallahassee, and a storm occasionally exhibiting marginal supercell characteristics north of Jacksonville. The 12Z TLH and JAX soundings
    both exhibited moderate buoyancy (MLCAPE of greater than 1000 J/kg),
    relatively cool midlevel temperatures (around -10 C at 500 mb), weak low/midlevel flow, and somewhat stronger upper-level flow above 500
    mb. This environment will generally persist through the morning into
    the afternoon, with some modest strengthening of effective shear
    possible as a low-amplitude, mid/upper-level shortwave trough moves
    across the region. Storm coverage is expected to increase late this
    morning into this afternoon, with most 12Z CAM guidance suggesting
    the development of a southwestward-moving outflow that will focus
    initiation and perhaps briefly enhance effective shear for storms
    that can remain rooted to the boundary.=20

    Localized damaging winds appear to be the most likely severe hazard,
    especially if a larger-scale outflow/cold pool can develop with
    time. Buoyancy and deep-layer shear may be marginally sufficient for
    an isolated hail threat with the strongest cells as well. The
    magnitude of the overall severe threat is expected to remain too
    limited for watch issuance.
