    Areas affected...central IA to northwest IL

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

    Valid 172051Z - 172215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated severe gusts and small hail will be possible
    through early evening with slow-moving cells developing along a quasi-stationary front.

    DISCUSSION...Convection has gradually bubbled along a
    quasi-stationary front from central IA to northwest IL with an
    initial thunderstorm near ALO. Weak deep-layer shear per the 18Z OAX
    sounding along with modest mid-level lapse rates suggest convection
    should limit organizational potential. But large buoyancy owing to
    mid/upper 70s surface dew points along the front will aid in wet
    microburst potential, especially where small, melting hail cores
    develop before updrafts collapse.
