    Areas affected...Central Iowa

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

    Valid 052045Z - 052245Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms developing across central Iowa may be
    capable of damaging winds and large hail through the early evening
    hours. This threat will most likely remain too limited to warrant a
    watch issuance.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms continue to develop along a
    stationary/weak warm front draped across IA. Most of this convection
    has remained largely disorganized, though a few sub-severe hail
    reports have been noted with more organized cells. Cloud-top cooling
    and rapid increases in lightning have been noted with a few of the
    more recent cells, suggesting that convection is responding to
    increased destabilization (MLCAPE values have increased to 1000-1500
    J/kg over the past hour). The KDMX VWP is sampling 30-40 knot winds
    in the 5-7 km layer, which supports recent estimates of 30-35 knot
    effective bulk shear values across the region. This thermodynamic
    and kinematic environment is conducive for organized convection,
    though storm motions along the initiating boundary may lead to
    destructive storm interference, and steep low-level lapse rates will
    favor outflow-dominant storms (with an attendant strong/damaging
    wind threat). Overall, the severe threat will likely remain limited
    to central IA where the overlap of favorable buoyancy along/south of
    the boundary and stronger deep-layer flow is greatest.

    Areas affected...far northeast Louisiana into central Mississippi

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

    Valid 141833Z - 142000Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...A significant severe-wind threat is developing across
    portions of northeast LA into central MS ahead of an approaching bow
    echo. A derecho may produce hurricane force wind gusts across the
    region if the bow echo can maintain intensity and continue to grow
    upscale. A Particularly Dangerous Situation Severe Thunderstorm
    Watch will be issued soon.

    DISCUSSION...A compact, intense bow echo is traversing the AR/LA
    border and is rapidly moving southeast at around 50 kts. Though the
    bow echo is nearly perpendicular to the radar beam, intense inbound
    velocities depict the presence of a rear-inflow jet, likely driven
    by a strong, deep cold pool. Furthermore, along a stationary
    west-to-east surface boundary, an elongated corridor of impressive
    overlapping buoyancy/shear is in place. At least mid 70s F surface
    dewpoints, overspread by unseasonably steep mid-level lapse rates,
    are supporting 5000+ J/kg SBCAPE. Regional VADs and mesoanalysis
    depict hodographs with modest low-level curvature and very long
    hodographs aloft, yielding 60+ kts of effective bulk shear.=20

    The 12Z JAN observed sounding showed very dry air in the 850-500 mb
    layer, along with 9 C/km lapse rates in this layer, which often
    precede derecho-producing MCSs. Given the intensity of the
    approaching bow echo, the presence of a dry 850-500 mb layer with
    anomalously steep mid-level lapse rates, and the elongated corridor
    of overlapping extreme instability/vertical shear, confidence is
    increasing in the occurrence of a derecho. Widespread severe winds
    are likely, along with several hurricane-force wind gusts. A few
    tornadoes may also occur with mesovortices along and immediately
    north of the apex of the bow echo. A Particularly Dangerous
    Situation Severe Thunderstorm Watch will be needed to address the
    severe threat.
