   Areas affected...Parts of central/eastern IA

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 465...

   Valid 262031Z - 262200Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 465
   continues.

   SUMMARY...The threat for damaging wind and possibly a tornado will
   continue through late afternoon.

   DISCUSSION...A convective line has evolved across central into
   northern IA this afternoon, with other smaller clusters gradually
   becoming better organized into southwest IA. Deep-layer shear is
   rather weak, and weakens with southward extent, but unidirectional
   25-35 kt southwest flow in the 1-3 km AGL layer (as noted in the
   KDMX VWP) could support some organized damaging-wind potential. 

   There has been some tendency for outflow to advance ahead of the
   convective line, but any small bowing segments that become oriented
   more orthogonal to the southwesterly low/midlevel flow (such as the
   one across Butler/Grundy Counties, IA) could be more likely to
   produce localized swaths of wind damage through late afternoon.
   Modestly favorable effective SRH could also support a brief tornado
   threat.
