AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

318 AM CDT TUE JUL 17 2007

.SHORT TERM /TODAY/...
OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES SCATTERED ACRS THE CWA EARLY THIS MORNING
FROM CONVECTION THAT OCCURRED LAST EVENING.  HOWEVER...MAIN
THERMAL/MOISTURE GRADIENT REMAINS FARTHER NORTH INTO MINNESOTA.
ELEVATED CONVECTION MOVING SOUTH QUICKLY IN SOUTHERN MINNESOTA TO
NORTHEAST IA WHERE 850-700MB THERMAL ADVECTION IS STRONGEST. EXPECT
THIS CONVECTION TO RIDE ALONG IN THE MEAN FLOW THROUGH THE MORNING
WITH MAIN IMPACT IN OUR FAR NORTHEAST CWA.  CERTAINLY SOME SEVERE
WEATHER MAY OCCUR WITH THESE STORMS...MAINLY FROM LARGE HAIL BUT
SOME STRONG WIND GUSTS MAY ALSO OCCUR. WL ALSO CONTINUE TO MONITOR
THE HYDROLOGIC SITUATION AS PWATS REMAIN AOA 1.50 INCHES ACRS MUCH
OF THE CWA.  OTHERWISE...THERMAL RIDGING WL NUDGE INTO THE STATE AS
CONVECTION MOVES TO THE EAST.  EXPECT MOST OF THE CWA TO CLIMB INTO
THE 90S BY AFTERNOON ALTHOUGH THE NORTHEAST PORTIONS WL BE
CONDITIONAL ON THE AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE RECEIVED.  THIS WL ALSO
PRODUCE STRONG INSTABILITY BY AFTERNOON WITH SBCAPES IN EXCESS OF
2500 J/KG.  THOUGHTS ARE THAT CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON WL BE
LIMITED TO THE FAR NORTHEAST CLOSEST TO THE SFC BOUNDARY.
HOWEVER...ANY OUTFLOW PRODUCED BY THE MORNING CONVECTION MAY ALSO
ACT TO PUSH UP SOME STORMS.  NEEDLESS TO SAY...HIGHEST AFTERNOON
POPS WL BE IN THE NORTHEAST.  ANY STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP COULD
BECOME SEVERE FAIRLY QUICKLY WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS THE
MAIN THREAT.  HEAVY RAINFALL WL ALSO REMAIN LIKELY AS PWATS HOLD
FROM 1.5 TO 2 INCHES.

.LONG TERM.../TONIGHT-MONDAY/...
ACTIVE WX WL CONTINUE THROUGH THURSDAY AS SHORTWAVES DIVE THROUGH
THE REGION IN BROAD NORTHWEST FLOW.  NEARBY BOUNDARY WL PROVIDE
FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT PRIMARILY IN NORTHERN IOWA FROM
TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY AND THEN INTO CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS
OF THE STATE BY LATER WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY.  INSTABILITY ALONG
AND SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY WL REMAIN STRONG DURING THIS PERIOD AS
AMPLE MOISTURE WILL BE IN PLACE.  THIS WL ALLOW CONVECTION TO BE
SEVERE AT TIMES WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS BOTH POSSIBLE.
IN ADDITION...PWATS WL REMAIN FROM 1.5 TO 2 INCHES WITH HIGH
RAINFALL RATES LIKELY WITH THE STORMS.  WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED WITH
SOME LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING DURING THIS TIMEFRAME AS STORMS PASS
OVER THE SAME AREAS FROM TIME TO TIME.  WITH PASSAGE OF SIGNIFICANT
WAVE ON THURSDAY...FRONT WILL BE PUSHED SOUTH OF IOWA WITH HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE UPR MIDWEST.  SUBSIDENCE AND DRIER AIR WL
END PCPN THREAT BY FRIDAY ACRS THE STATE.  TEMPERATURES WL ALSO
MODERATE AS A CANADIAN AIRMASS FILTERS INTO THE STATE.
THEREAFTER...LARGE UPPER RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD ACRS THE WESTERN INTO
CNTRL PORTIONS OF THE UNITED STATES.  THIS WL SHIFT THE JET WELL
NORTH INTO CANADA WITH WARM AIR ENVELOPING MUCH OF THE LOWER 48.
THE THREAT FOR PCPN WL ALSO REMAIN LOW WITH LITTLE FORCING ACRS THE
STATE.

&&

.AVIATION...17/06Z
WILL LIKELY KEEP NEAR TERM MENTION OF THUNDER OUT OF ALL TAFS GIVEN
THE UNCERTAINTY ABOUT IF/WHERE ANY ADDITIONAL CONVECTION WILL
DEVELOP OVERNIGHT. THERE MAY BE SOME REDEVELOPMENT AGAIN DURING THE
AFTERNOON BUT CONFIDENCE STILL TOO LOW TO MENTION.

&&

.DMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE.
