0221 PM CDT Tue Sep 16 2025
Areas affected...eastern Nebraska...southwestern Iowa...and
northwestern Missouri
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 161921Z - 162115Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent
SUMMARY...Thunderstorm activity to increase through the afternoon
with risk for a few instances of strong to severe wind.
DISCUSSION...Thunderstorm activity is increasing across portions of
central Iowa. Strong daytime heating amid mid 60s dew points has
aided in MLCAPE around 1500-3000 J/kg. Though temperatures are hot
(warming into the mid 80s to 90s F) with moderate instability, deep
layer flow remains weak. A few stronger cores may produce some
instances of strong to severe wind, however, weaker shear will keep
the severe risk limited and localized. Thunderstorm activity should
diminish this evening with the loss of daytime heating.
