Area forecast discussion, Oct 15, 12:15 AM CDT, 14 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
1215 AM CDT MON OCT 15 2007

...UPDATED AVIATION PORTION FOR 15/06Z AND PUBLIC ZONES...

.DISCUSSION...
NO CHANGES TO GOING WATCH AS HEAVY RAIN CONTINUES TO DEVELOP
ACROSS THE WESTERN SECTIONS OF THE CWA ESPECIALLY WEST OF I35. SFC
FRONT HAS STALLED OVER THE SOUTH AND SUBJECTIVE H850 ANALYSIS SHOWS
THAT H850 FRONT PRETTY MUCH BISECTING THE FORECAST AREA FROM NEAR
KOMA TO ABOUT KLSE ...WHICH MAINTAINS THE NORTHWEST SECTIONS MORE
FAVORED FOR ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL. SOME FFW ALREADY ISSUED FOR
WESTERN COUNTIES AND TREND WILL CONTINUE THERE...ESPECIALLY OVER
AREAS THAT SAW HVY AMTS LAST NIGHT. RIVERS ON THE WAY UP AS WELL AND
ADDITIONAL WARNINGS LIKELY. FORCING WILL BACK NW WITH TIME TNT
HOWEVER MOISTURE FETCH SOUTH TO TX/MEXICO BORDER HAS NO WHERE TO GO
BUT NORTH INTO IOWA./REV

.PREVIOUS SYNOPSIS...
LONG WAVE TROF ACRS THE ROCKIES PROVIDING DEEP SOUTHERLY FLOW INTO
THE MIDWEST.  ASSOCIATED SFC SYSTEM WITH LOW IN KANSAS AND WARM
FRONT EXTENDING NORTHEAST INTO IOWA AS AMPLE MOISTURE STREAMS
NORTHWARD.  PWATS HAVE INCREASED TO BETWEEN 1.25 AND 1.50 INCHES
WHICH IS WELL OVER 200 PERCENT OF NORMAL.  STAGE IS BEING SET FOR
SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL ACRS PORTIONS OF THE CWA THIS EVENING THROUGH
SUNDAY AS THE UPPER TROF PULLS INTO THE PLAINS.

&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
UPPER LOW WL BEGIN ITS SLOW PROGRESSION INTO THE PLAINS TONIGHT WITH
SFC LOW LIFTING FROM KANSAS INTO WESTERN IA BY MORNING.  STRONG
MOISTURE TRANSPORT AHEAD OF THE LOW WL IMPINGE UPON THE BOUNDARY AND
COMBINED WITH GOOD SYNOPTIC FORCING...WL LEAD TO WIDESPREAD SHOWER
AND THUNDERSTORMS ACTIVITY.  THIS PCPN WL INITIALLY BE ACRS PORTIONS
OF WESTERN AND NORTHERN IA ALONG AND GENERALLY NORTHWEST OF THE SFC
BOUNDARY.  LOCATION OF MAIN BAND OF PCPN NORTH OF FRONT WL MOVE
LITTLE DURING THE OVERNIGHT AS SFC BOUNDARY PROGRESSES VERY LITTLE.
EXPECT TRAINING SHRA/TSRA IN THOSE LOCATIONS AND WITH HIGH
PWATS...EXPECT FLASH FLOODING TO BE PROBLEMATIC.  ADDITIONAL
HYDROLOGIC INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND IN THE DISCUSSION BELOW.  A MORE
PROGRESSIVE BAND OF SHRA/TSRA IS EXPECTED ALONG THE SFC TROF AXIS
MOVING ACRS CNTRL AND SOUTHERN IA AFTER MIDNIGHT INTO MONDAY
MORNING.  INSTABILITY IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN CHECK FOR THE MOST
PART...HOWEVER SUFFICIENT UPDRAFTS TO PRODUCE MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL
WL BE POSSIBLE.

SFC LOW WL DRIFT NORTHWARD ACRS WESTERN IA ON MONDAY WITH FORCING
LIFTING GRADUALLY NORTHWARD INTO MINNESOTA AND WISCONSIN THROUGH THE
DAY.  POPS WL DECREASE FROM SOUTH TO NORTH THROUGH THE DAY IN
RESPONSE TO WEAKENING LIFT. WRAP AROUND WL CONTINUE INTO MONDAY
NIGHT AND TUESDAY...PRIMARILY INTO THE NORTHEAST HALF OF THE CWA AND
HAVE CONTINUED HIGHEST POPS IN THOSE AREAS.

THIS SYSTEM WL FINALLY PULL EAST OF THE AREA IN TIME TO BE REPLACED
BY THE NEXT IN A SERIES OF SYSTEMS IN STRONG ONSHORE PAC JET.  WAA
AND STRONG THETA-E ADVECTION WL TAKE OVER BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND
NIGHT.  EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP BY LATE WEDNESDAY AND
PROGRESS ACRS THE STATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS SFC SYSTEM DEEPENS.
ANOTHER ROUND OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN MAY ALSO OCCUR BUT THIS
SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN MORE PROGRESSIVE.  DIFFERENCES ARE
APPARENT FROM THURSDAY INTO NEXT WEEKEND WITH THE MODELS...BUT IT
DOES APPEAR THAT MOST SOLUTIONS ARE DRY BY SATURDAY AND HAVE KEPT
THE FORECAST DRY FROM THAT POINT ON.  TEMPS WL BE MORE SEASONAL WITH
STRONG WESTERLIES CONTINUING ACRS THE CONUS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
STAGE SET FOR SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL WITH STRONG LIFT/AMPLE MOISTURE
AND NEARLY STATIONARY BOUNDARY ACRS THE CWA.  HAVE SEEN MODERATE TO
HEAVY RAINS THE PAST TWO NIGHTS PRIME THE GROUND WITH AMOUNTS FROM
THREE QUARTERS UP TO NEARLY 3 INCHES IN SOME LOCATIONS.  WL BE
ISSUING FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR MUCH OF THE CWA ALONG AND WEST OF
INTERSTATE 35 FOR TONIGHT INTO MONDAY WHERE GENERAL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO
3 INCHES ARE EXPECTED WITH LOCALIZED AMOUNTS FROM 4 TO 5 INCHES.
GIVEN THE HIGH RIVER FLOW RECENTLY...EXTENDED RIVER FLOODING WILL
ALSO LIKELY BE A PROBLEM AND WL MENTION IN THE FFA.

&&

.AVIATION...15/06Z
NO MAJOR CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST...PRIMARY CONCERNS REMAIN
APPROACHING SYSTEM...THE PRIMARY FOCUS OF THE SYSTEM THROUGH 18Z
MONDAY WILL BE OVER FOD AND MCW AS A DRY SLOT WORKS NORTH INTO THE
SOUTHEASTERN TERMINALS INCLUDING DSM/OTM UNTIL MONDAY MORNING WHEN
FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPROACHES AND THUNDERSTORMS INCREASE ONCE AGAIN.
IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS OVER NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHWEST IOWA THROUGH
MUCH OF TNT AND MONDAY. IN ADDITION SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
BE PREVALENT OVER THIS AREA THIS EVENING AND PERSIST THROUGH THE
PERIOD. CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO WORSEN TOWARD MORNING SOUTH AND EAST
TAF SITES/RTES AS LOW APPROACHES AND ASSOCIATED CONVECTION
INCREASES. DRY PUNCH SHOULD ARRIVE OVER THE SOUTHERN AREAS AFT 18Z
ALLOWING WITH INCREASING CIGS/VSBYS WITH TIME.
