Areas affected...parts of northwest/west central Iowa and adjacent
northeastern Nebraska

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 563...

Valid 300441Z - 300645Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 563
continues.

SUMMARY...A compact, but well-organized cluster of storms is being
maintained across the Sioux City area, and it possible that this
activity may continue to pose a risk for strong to severe wind gusts
for at least a few more hours.

DISCUSSION...Despite the presence of strong lower/mid-tropospheric
inhibition, convection has become better organized in a compact
cluster now propagating across and east-southeast of the Sioux City
area.  The associated surface cold pool included 2 hourly pressure
rises of 5.7 mb at Yankton during the 04Z obs, and a small MCV has
become well-defined.  Given the 40 kt forward propagation of this
cluster, strong low-level inflow of moist boundary-layer air
characterized by CAPE in excess in excess of 2000 J/kg might still
continue to overcome the mid-level inhibition at least a few more
hours.
