Area forecast discussion, Aug 24, 2:50 AM CDT, 7 hours 6 minutes before

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
FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS...AS WELL AS A SMALL PORTION OF MAHASKA COUNTY.
NUMEROUS HIGHWAYS...AND COUNTY HARD TOP AND GRAVEL ROADS ARE UNDER
WATER AND A FEW HOMES HAVE BEEN EVACUATED IN APPANOOSE COUNTY.
TRAVEL IS NOT ADVISED WHERE FLOODING IS ONGOING. A 30KT 850 JET AND
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
SHIFT CAN RE-EVALUATE WHETHER AN EXTENSION OF THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH
WILL BE WARRANTED. HAVE KEPT POPS MAINLY SOUTHEAST THIS
EVENING...AND WILL KEEP SATURDAY AND SUNDAY DRY FOR NOW AND IGNORE
THE WEAK SFC TROUGH THAT THE NAM MEANDERS THROUGH THE AREA.

NO CHANGES TO THE MONDAY-THURSDAY PERIOD. THE NEXT BEST CHANCE OF
RAIN LOOKS TO BE TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE NEXT
FRONT.
