AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
302 PM CDT TUE APR 11 2006

.DISCUSSION...
LOW PRESSURE CURRENTLY RESIDES OVER EAST CENTRAL NEBRASKA WITH A
WARM FRONT ENTERING SW IA WITH DRIER SFC DEWPOINTS IMMEDIATELY
BEHIND THE WARM FRONT AND THIS COMBINED WITH DRY AIR ADVECTION IS
KEEPING INSTABILITY QUITE LOW. THE STRONG MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE IS
NOW ENTERING WESTERN NEBRASKA WITH THE DRY PUNCH EXTENDING TO THE
NORTH AND EAST. ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE IS LOCATED OVER SOUTHERN CANADA
WITH A COOL FRONT EXTENDING SOUTHWEST THROUGH SOUTH DAKOTA AND
CENTRAL NEBRASKA. ALL OF THESE ARE A LITTLE OUT OF PHASE WITH EACH
OTHER TO GET THE CONVECTION ROLLING THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL MAKE IT
INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT FOR SURFACE BASED CONVECTION TO INITIATE
BEFORE SUNSET AND WILL AID IN DIMINISHING THE SEVERE THREAT. MAIN
PRECIPITATION OVERNIGHT IS EXPECTED WITH THE SHORTWAVE PASSAGE WITH
BEST CHANCES ACROSS THE NORTH. DRY AIR SPILLS BACK INTO THE REGION
ON WEDNESDAY WITH SKIES BECOMING MOSTLY SUNNY WITH HIGHS GENERALLY
IN THE 70S. THURSDAY IS ON TRACK TO BE THE WARMEST DAY SO FAR DURING
THIS YOUNG SPRING SEASON. ANOTHER WARM AIR ADVECTION SURGE LIFTS
NORTHWARD ACROSS IOWA WITH +20C 850 MB TEMPERATURES REACHING THE
SOUTHWEST PORTION OF THE STATE. GOOD MIXING AND SOUTHWEST FLOW
SHOULD ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO REACH THE MID 80S ACROSS THE SOUTH. THE
NAM IS STALLING THE WARM FRONT OVER NORTHERN IOWA AND SUGGESTS THAT
THE CONVECTIVE INHIBITION WILL WEAKEN ENOUGH FOR A FEW STORMS TO
FIRE. HAVE PLACED SMALL POPS TO COVER FOR THIS THOUGH THE GFS IS
WELL NORTH WITH THE BOUNDARY. MODEL DEWPOINTS ARE LIKELY OVERDONE
OVER THE SOUTH DUE TO DRIER AIR MIXING DOWN AND A LACK OF A TRIGGER
DESPITE GOOD INSTABILITY SHOULD PREVENT CONVECTION.

SLIGHTLY COOLER ON FRIDAY THEN THE NEXT SYSTEM ARRIVES FOR THE
WEEKEND. MEDIUM TO LONG RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO DIFFER ON TIMING
AND PLACEMENT OF THE UPPER LEVEL FEATURES BUT CURRENTLY FAVOR THE
FARTHER WEAKER AND FARTHER NORTHWEST ECMWF AND CANADIAN OVER THE
MUCH DEEPER AND FATHER SOUTHEAST GFS. THUNDERSTORMS ARE STILL
EXPECTED SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH SOME PRECIPITATION
LINGERING INTO SUNDAY MORNING. THE SEVERE POTENTIAL STILL UNCERTAIN
DUE TO ABOVE DISCREPANCIES. NO COLD AIR IN SIGHT THROUGH THE
EXTENDED PERIOD WITH WELL ABOVE SEASONAL VALUES THROUGH THE
BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK.
