...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS MORNING AND AGAIN
TOWARD EVENING...

AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE THAT HELPED PRODUCE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS OVER CENTRAL IOWA OVERNIGHT WILL MOVE ACROSS EASTERN IOWA
AND NORTHWEST ILLINOIS THIS MORNING. A COMPLEX OF DECAYING
THUNDERSTORMS KICKED OFF BY MID LEVEL MOISTURE AND LIFT FROM THIS WAVE
WILL AFFECT EAST CENTRAL IOWA EARLY. AS THE COMPLEX MOVES
SOUTHEAST...IT WILL DISSIPATE TO SPRINKLES BY MID MORNING.

ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION IS EXPECTED BY LATE AFTERNOON...MAINLY

WILL BE PRODUCED AS ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVES ACROSS THE

POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE SMALL HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS. WITH LIMITED
INSTABILITY AND WEAK SHEAR...STORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO REACH SEVERE
LEVELS. HOWEVER...ANTICIPATED SLOW MOVEMENT OF THUNDERSTORMS COULD
CAUSE SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AMOUNTS.

STORM SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT EXPECTED FOR TODAY OR TONIGHT.
