Areas affected...Central and western Iowa and far eastern Nebraska

Concerning...Tornado Watch 163...

Valid 302057Z - 302230Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 163 continues.

SUMMARY...Tornado and severe threat increasing through late
afternoon/early evening.

DISCUSSION...A few discrete supercells continue to mature across
portions of far western/southwestern Iowa and far eastern Nebraska.
These storms have developed near a deepening surface cyclone,
attendant to an upper level shortwave trough, and ahead of a cold
front within an increasingly unstable air mass. Backed surface flow
remains in place within the warm sector across central and south
central Iowa, and the warm front is slowly lifting northward. As a
mid level jet max around 50-60 kt continues to overspread the
region, low level shear profiles/hodographs will become even more
favorable for tornadic supercells. This may especially be true along
the aforementioned effective warm front where nearly parallel
effective shear vectors with magnitudes of 55-60 kt will persist
into early evening.
