    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 525...

    Valid 191213Z - 191345Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 525
    continues.

    SUMMARY...A damaging wind threat may persist this morning. A
    downstream watch is possible.

    DISCUSSION...A mature line of storms which developed earlier across
    northern Iowa has progressed south with several measured gusts of 40
    to 49 knots. Despite these near-severe wind gusts, no measured
    severe wind gusts or wind damage has been reported thus far. A brief
    TDS was sampled earlier by the KDMX WSR-88D, but quickly weakened
    with minimal additional circulations observed.=20

    Considerable uncertainty remains on the evolution of ongoing storms
    as daytime heating begins. A slightly more favorable orientation of
    the line has developed across east-central Iowa, but a north-south
    oriented line of storms is advancing ahead of this portion of the
    line which may limit any more favorable wind damage threat which
    could materialize. The portion of the line across central Iowa
    should continue to move south-southeast, but it is unclear whether
    surface heating can occur quickly enough before increasing CIN
    weakens this portion of the line. In addition, the low-level jet
    which supported/helped maintain the MCS has weakened/veered and will
    likely provide limited support going forward.

    Therefore, these competing factors will continue to be monitored and
    a downstream severe thunderstorm watch may be issued if a severe
    weather threat appears likely south and east of watch 525.
