    Areas affected...portions of northern and northeast IA

    Concerning...Heavy snow

    Valid 181456Z - 181800Z

    SUMMARY...Heavy snowfall rates ranging from 1 to 1.5 inches per hour
    are expected through midday.

    DISCUSSION...Water-vapor imagery this morning shows an eastward
    migrating shortwave trough over IA while the left exit region of a
    100-kt 300mb jet is placed over eastern IA. Strong DCVA (170m 12
    hour height fall per Omaha, NE 12Z RAOB data) coupled with low- to
    mid-level frontogenesis is resulting a west-east corridor of snow
    from Sioux Falls to the MS river. Weak convection as evidenced by
    lightning is moving east on the leading edge of stronger ascent
    located within the warm conveyer.

    Model forecast soundings show weak buoyancy co-located with a
    dendritic growth layer for a few hours this morning. Expecting the
    heavy snowfall rates to continue through midday across northern and
    northeast IA before gradually diminishing this afternoon. Although
    the precipitation shield will spread east into southern WI, models
    suggest a gradual reduction in the spatiotemporal character of the
    heavy snowfall rates as this area moves east into WI.

    Areas affected...Southeast TX...Middle/Upper TX Coast

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 41...

    Valid 071613Z - 071745Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 41
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Threat for damaging wind gusts, hail, and a tornado or two
    remains across southeast TX and the middle/upper TX Coast.

    DISCUSSION...Air mass ahead of the ongoing convective line continue
    to destabilize amidst continue moisture advection. Dewpoints are now
    between 70 and 72 deg F areawide and mesoanalysis estimates 2000+
    J/kg. Additionally, the overall system is well organized, evidenced
    by strong (i.e. 3-5 mb) height rises behind the line and sharpening reflectivity gradient along its leading edge. Another factor
    suggesting intensification is the southeasterly surface winds and
    resulting increased convergence.

    Two factors potentially impeding further
    intensification/organization are the line-parallel orientation of
    the shear vectors and the slowing of the shortwave trough currently
    moving through south TX.

    Overall expectation is for gradual intensification/organization over
    the next few hours with the forward speed of the overall system to
    increase. Strong wind gusts are the primary severe threat. Some hail
    also remains possible. A brief tornado or two is also possible,
    particularly as the system intensifies and forward motion increases.
