These cells are quite small, but are rotating and seem to\n    be relatively efficient hail producers (already 1 report of 1 inch\n    hail in eastern Iowa). The primary hail threat will likely be early\n    in the storm cycles before they congeal and some damaging wind\n    threat may develop. However, relatively weak instability this\n    morning should mitigate the overall threat. Therefore, no watch is\n    anticipated.\n\n    ..Bentley/Mosier.. 03/31/2026\n\n    ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...\n\n    ATTN...WFO...LOT...ILX...DVN...\n\n    LAT...LON   41119189 41339126 41718989 41728852 41368783 41098790\n                40838872 40718963 40699061 40749119 40849169 41119189\n\n    MOST PROBABLE PEAK TORNADO INTENSITY...85-115 MPH\n    MOST PROBABLE PEAK WIND GUST...55-70 MPH\n    MOST PROBABLE PEAK HAIL SIZE...1.00-1.75 IN\n\n\n\nRead more",
