AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
250 AM CDT FRI AUG 24 2007

.DISCUSSION...
MAIN FORECAST FOCUS CONTINUES TO BE SERIOUS FLASH FLOODING SITUATION
DEVELOPING ACROSS SOUTHERN IOWA EARLY THIS MORNING. MANY LOCATIONS
HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED 3 TO 5 INCHES WITH LOCAL HEAVIER POCKETS UP TO
7 INCHES. MUCH OF THE SOUTHERN TWO TIERS OF COUNTIES REMAIN UNDER

STRONG MOISTURE TRANSPORT CONTINUE TO BE FOCUSED INTO SOUTHERN IOWA
THROUGH AT LEAST MID MORNING AND THE 88D MOSAIC INDICATED MORE HEAVY
RAIN UPSTREAM OVER NE KANSAS...FAR SE NEBRASKA...AND NW MISSOURI.
SOME LOCATIONS IN SOUTHERN IOWA COULD RECEIVE SEVERAL MORE INCHES OF
RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING WILL LIKELY BECOME EVEN MORE SERIOUS AND
WIDESPREAD AT LEAST THROUGH DAY BREAK. THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL
CONTINUE AS IS THROUGH 18Z. BY THEN...THE HEAVIEST RAIN MAY SHIFT
JUST SOUTH OF THE STATE PER THE LATEST NAM...BUT THE GFS IS STILL
PROGGING SUBSTANTIAL QPF INTO THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. DAY
