Keeping an eye on Thursday and Friday locally here. Thursday features extreme instability, modest low level shear, and a 50 knot 500mb jet max moving into Eastern IA at 00z. While the tornado and supercell parameters are spiking, this definitely reminds me of something that could be a long lived wind event with high instability + shear combo persisting well into the night. Not to say there won't be a couple hours at onset or if we get storms even at all during the day (CIN is high, its Iowa in June lol).
Then watching the front slide south a tad on Friday and pretty much the same setup over IL/IN/MO with extreme CAPE and rather meager low level shear, probably another wind/hail day with the outside chance of a tube if you are very lucky.
Not the best June setup's I've seen, but I could see Thursday turning into something decent if we do get day-time initiation across Central/Northaest Iowa. Probably bite if it looks good since its only a 2 1/2 hour drive or so.
PS I wouldn't discount Wednesday (6/16) across Eastern SD/Western MN either. Could be a late show with a couple supercells evolving into an MCS again. Tis the season! Long range looks like we will have several of these chances coming up into the end of June.
