Area forecast discussion, Aug 22, 6:20 PM CDT, 4 hours 7 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
620 PM CDT WED AUG 22 2007

.DISCUSSION...
NEXT ROUND FOR HEAVY PRECIPITATION IS WELL UNDERWAY AND IS BEGINNING
TO EXPAND AS STRONG MOISTURE TRANSPORT BEGINNING TO LIFT INTO THE
STATE. A STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER CENTRAL IOWA WILL MOVE
LITTLE OVERNIGHT AND EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE TO FIRE ALONG
THE BOUNDARY TONIGHT AS THE LOW LEVEL JET INCREASES AND POINTS INTO
THE STATE THIS EVENING. MANY THUNDERSTORMS TODAY HAVE BEEN DROPPING
NEARLY 1 INCH OF RAIN IN 15 MINUTES. THE STORMS WILL REMAIN
EFFICIENT RAIN PRODUCERS WITH DEEP WARM CLOUD DEPTH REMAINING OVER
THE STATE ALONG WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES EXCEEDING 2 INCHES.
RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES WILL BE COMMON WITH ISOLATED
AMOUNT APPROACHING 7 INCHES. EXPECT ANOTHER COMPLEX TO LIFT
NORTHEAST OUT OF KANSAS AND SOUTHERN NEBRASKA LATE TONIGHT AND MOVE
ACROSS CENTRAL IOWA ON THURSDAY. ANOTHER ROUND OF VERY HEAVY
RAINFALL IS LIKELY. AS WITH THE PAST FEW DAYS...EXPECT ANOTHER FLASH
FLOOD WATCH TO BE ISSUED WITH THE EARLY MORNING FORECAST TO EXPAND
INTO FRIDAY. CURRENT WATCH WILL FOCUS ON TONIGHT AND THURSDAY.

AS MENTIONED YESTERDAY...MOISTURE FROM HURRICANE DEAN IS EXPECTED TO
ARRIVE BY LATE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. ONE FINAL ROUND OF HEAVY
RAINFALL IS LIKELY DURING THIS PERIOD BEFORE HIGH PRESSURE DROPPING
SOUTH OUT OF CANADA FINALLY PUSHES EVERYTHING TO THE SOUTHEAST. HAVE
CONTINUED TO KEEP SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT DRY BUT WILL MONITOR AS
RETURN FLOW DEVELOPS AND MAY BRING A THREAT FOR ELEVATED
THUNDERSTORMS. THE REMNANTS OF DEAN ARE STILL ON TRACK TO ARRIVE
OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST BY AROUND TUESDAY AND HAVE MAINTAINED COURSE
WITH THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE BY THIS TIME.

&&

.AVIATION...23/00Z
THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO BE NUMEROUS AROUND THE STATE.  HEAVY
RAINS WILL ACCOMPANY THE STORMS WITH IFR VSBY CONDITIONS. SOUTHERLY
WINDS 10 OR LESS AND OUTSIDE THUNDERSTORMS MVFR TO VFR CONDITIONS.
