    Areas affected...much of northern...central...and eastern Iowa

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

    Valid 190654Z - 190830Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...A downstream severe thunderstorm watch is possible if a
    more organized storm cluster can develop.

    DISCUSSION...A cluster of storms across southern Minnesota has
    started to show some strengthening over the past hour. The
    environment downstream of this activity is still mostly uncapped
    with 1500 to 2000 J/kg MUCAPE and 35-40 knots of effective shear.
    Continued upscale growth along the synoptic boundary from southern
    Minnesota into northwest Iowa is expected. This may result in a more
    organized damaging wind threat persisting beyond 08Z and east of the
    current severe thunderstorm watch. This solution is supported by the
    HRRR/RRFS with more robust convection between 08Z and 12Z across northern/eastern Iowa. Convective trends will continue to be
    monitored and if a more organized/bowing lie segment develops, a
    downstream severe thunderstorm watch may need to be issued.
