.SHORT TERM /TODAY-TONIGHT/...
ONGOING MCS ACTIVITY MOVING EAST ACROSS THE PLAINS WILL LIKELY
MERGE OVER WESTERN IOWA AND MOVE EAST SOUTHEAST ACROSS WEST
CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL IOWA THROUGH THE MORNING
HOURS...FOLLOWING MUCAPE GRADIENT AND FED BY SOUTHWESTERLY LOW
LEVEL JET. THERE WILL BE A THREAT FOR SVR STORMS THANKS TO THE LARGE
AMOUNT OF DEEP LAYER SHEAR OWING TO STORM ORGANIZATION. SFC WARM
FRONT TO REMAIN QUASI STATIONARY ACROSS SOUTHERN IOWA...AND COULD
BE A FOCUS FOR CONTINUED CONVECTION AFTER THE MORNINGS MCS
ACTIVITY MOVES OUT. HOWEVER...WEAKER INSTABILITY WILL BE LIMITING
FACTOR. HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AND TRAINING STORMS
CONTINUE CONCERN FOR FLASH FLOODING THIS MORNING. BUT I WILL TRIM

TO TRAIN UP THERE. THERE SHOULD BE A RELATIVE LULL IN ACTIVITY
AFTER THIS EVENING AS CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY FOCUSES SOUTH AND WEST

WARM FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE NORTHWARD WEDNESDAY AS HEIGHT
FALLS INCREASE OVER THE PLAINS. THE SOUTHERN HALF OF IOWA SHOULD
BECOME QUITE UNSTABLE BY LATE AFTERNOON. GIVEN SHEAR

LIKELY MERGE INTO A LARGE MCS AND MOVE EAST ACROSS IOWA DURING THE
