    Areas affected...Eastern IA into northern Illinois

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 102313Z - 110115Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated hail/wind, and perhaps a brief tornado, are
    possible across eastern Iowa into northern Illinois this evening.
    Watch is not currently anticipated.

    DISCUSSION...Low-amplitude short-wave trough is evident in
    water-vapor imagery, very near the MS River, from southeast MN into northwestern IL. Large-scale ascent ahead of this feature appears to
    be aiding convection across northern IL, just north of a warm front
    that is draped from south of Chicago to north of Dubuque IA.
    Low-level warm advection is likely contributing to a few small,
    slow-moving clusters north of the wind shift. Radar data suggests
    this activity may be generating locally severe hail, and gusty
    winds. Wind profiles are not that strong ahead of the short wave,
    but veering profiles do suggest some rotation is possible.

    Farther west across eastern IA, scattered thunderstorms have
    developed just behind the trough within a more buoyant and stronger
    sheared environment. At times a few updrafts have exhibited
    supercell characteristics, but updrafts have struggled to organize
    at times, possibly due to the passage of the short wave. Unless this
    activity becomes more organized current thinking is the primary
    concerns will be isolated hail/wind, and perhaps a brief tornado.
