00:33and any of those dominant supercells are going to be the ones that are capable of producing those strong tornadoes
00:39well into the evening hours before all of these storms congeal together in a very powerful line of damaging winds,
00:46potentially up to 90, even 100 miles an hour in places due to the extreme amounts of instability
00:52that has settled into this area of northern Missouri, southern Iowa, and into western Illinois
00:58and potentially areas of southern Wisconsin.
