    Areas affected...eastern Iowa into northwest Illiniois and northeast
    Missouri

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 311...

    Valid 111453Z - 111630Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 311 continues.

    SUMMARY...Severe wind gusts remain likely across eastern Iowa,
    northwest Illinois, and northeast Missouri. A tornado risk may
    develop from northeast Missouri into west-central Illinois.

    DISCUSSION...An MCS with a history of producing measured severe wind
    gusts continues to quickly move across eastern IA. Two main surges
    are evident within this north-south line, with the southeast IA
    portion currently stronger than the section moving into northeast
    IA. Meanwhile, a trailing portion of the MCS extends southwestward
    into northern MO, where backbuilding is occurring.

    It appears the environment farther east across IL and southern WI
    will need to undergo significant destabilization for this existing
    MCS to remain severe into the afternoon. 12Z soundings from DVN and
    ILX show a stabilized air mass from the overnight MCS, with GPS PWAT
    sensors indicating a deeper moisture gradient across central IL.
    However, visible satellite shows strong heating occurring ahead of
    the MCS, and modest southwest winds will allow for moisture to
    gradually return northward across IL and vicinity.

    Some tornado risk exists as well, especially along the
    southern/southeastern fringe of the MCS. Here, 0-1 km SRH will
    remain strongest, and the environment should become more favorable
    later in the day as the air mass become more volatile.
