    Areas affected...eastern Iowa

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 262054Z - 262230Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...A few supercells are possible this afternoon/evening.

    DISCUSSION...A few weak cells have been moving slowly eastward
    across northern Iowa this morning in vicinity of the a weak MCV
    moving across the area. Within the last 20 minutes, convective
    intensity has started to increase somewhat. Given the weak forcing,
    it is is not clear whether these storms will mature, but if they do,
    4000-5000 J/kg MLCAPE and 45 to 50 knots of effective shear will
    support supercells capable of large hail and severe wind gusts.
