AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
827 AM CST TUE JAN 29 2008

UPDATED FOR CHANGES TO WSW...

SHORT TERM...
ARCTIC FRONT TO BLAST THROUGH THE AREA TODAY...BRINGING MULTITUDE OF
WINTER WEATHER CONCERNS. ASSOCIATED UPPER LEVEL WAVE CURRENTLY
PUSHING OUT OF THE WESTERN HIGH PLAINS AREA...AND WILL SWING
EASTWARD TODAY. CENTER OF SFC LOW CURRENTLY OVER GREAT LAKES
REGION...WITH THE SFC TROUGH AXIS EXTENDING SOUTHWARD THROUGH
EASTERN/SOUTH CENTRAL IOWA. INITIAL SFC FRONT TO TO BE THROUGH MOST
OF CWA BY 12Z...WITH STRONG PUSH OF COLD AIR/GUSTY WINDS LAGGING
SLIGHTLY BEHIND INITIAL WIND SHIFT. BIG STORY TODAY WILL BE STRONG
WINDS ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE SFC LOW...COMBINING WITH LIGHT SNOW
THAT IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE UPPER LEVEL
WAVE. RADAR RETURNS INCREASING SOMEWHAT ACROSS CENTRAL NEBRASKA
BENEATH MAIN AREA OF FRONTOGENESIS ADVERTISED BY THE MODELS...EXPECT
THIS AREA TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE WITHIN THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS IT
SLIDES EASTWARD WITH THE UPPER LOW. LATEST NAM MORE IN LINE WITH THE
GFS/EC INDICATING PRECIPITATION MAXIMUM OVER THE W/NW CWA THIS
MORNING BENEATH STRONGER AREA OF FRONTOGENESIS ALOFT. QG FORCING
ALSO STRONGER IN THAT AREA THIS AM...WEAKENING INTO THE AFTERNOON
HOURS AS THE WAVE SLIDES EASTWARD. THEREFORE HAVE GREATEST SNOW
AMOUNTS ACROSS THE WESTERN CWA...TRENDING LIGHTER TOWARD THE EAST.
COBB OUTPUT INDICATES NEARLY 13 TO 16:1 SNOW RATIOS THROUGH THE
MORNING...INCREASING TO 20 TO 22:1 INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS AS
COLDER AIR CONTINUES TO SINK SOUTHWARD. THEREFORE END UP WITH AROUND
AN INCH MOST SITES...WITH AROUND 2 INCHES ACROSS THE FAR NORTHWEST.
WILL HAVE TO MONITOR SNOW AMOUNTS...AS MODELS DO SUGGEST HIGHER QPF
WHICH COULD LEAD TO NEARLY 3 INCHES OR MORE ACROSS THE AREA
ESPECIALLY IF SNOW RATIOS ARE SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN EXPECTED.
THEREFORE WITH COMBINATION OF SNOW/VERY STRONG WINDS WITH ADVISORY
CRITERIA EXPECTED TO BE MET AT ALL SITES EXPECT GREATLY REDUCED
VSBYS THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE AREA. KEY WILL BE HOW MUCH SNOW/HOW LOW
VSBYS GO...AS EXPECT FREQUENT GUSTS TO 35 MPH OR MORE...SO WILL HAVE
TO MONITOR AS IF SNOW AMOUNTS SOMEWHAT HIGHER...MAY END UP WITH NEAR
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS IN AREAS THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THEREFORE WILL
ISSUE A SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW ADVISORY FOR THE AREA. AS FOR
TEMPS...STRONG CAA TO CREATE FALLING TEMPS THROUGH THE DAY. H85
TEMPS FALL FROM NEAR 0C AT 12Z THIS MORNING TO -20C BY 00Z
WEDNESDAY. STRONG WINDS WILL ALSO COMBINE WITH THE COLDER TEMPS TO
CREATE DANGEROUS WIND CHILLS SO WILL ALSO HAVE A WIND CHILL ADVISORY
OUT ACROSS THE NORTH INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS.

LONG TERM...
AS INTENSE STORM SYSTEM EXITS THIS EVENING...ARCTIC AIRMASS AND HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGE MOVES DIRECTLY OVER IA...RESULTING IN A DIMINISHING
WIND AND VERY COLD TEMPERATURES. NOT MUCH BREAK IN THE ACTION
WEDNESDAY AS NEXT SYSTEM CURRENTLY APPROACHING THE PAC NW WILL DIP
OVER THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN ROCKIES. MODELS IN FAIRLY GOOD
AGREEMENT WITH SOUTHERN PART OF TROUGH REMAINING DOMINATE FEATURE
AND SPINNING UP A SFC CYCLONE THAT TRACKS SOUTHEAST ALONG THE FRONT
RANGE INTO THE TX PANHANDLE BY WED EVENING...WITH INVERTED TROUGH
EXTENDING NORTHEAST INTO VICINITY OF CENTRAL IA. WITH ELEVATED
FRONTOGENESIS...QG FORCING AND ISENTROPIC LIFT OF SOME MAGNITUDE
EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS IA WED NIGHT INTO EARLY THURSDAY...WILL
MAINTAIN AT LEAST CHC POPS EVERYWHERE EXCEPT ACROSS THE NORTHWEST
WHERE HAVE RAISED POPS TO LIKELY. QPF SHOULD BE LIGHT AND THERE IS
STILL THE QUESTION OF HOW QUICKLY THE COLUMN WILL BE ABLE TO
SATURATE...BUT THERE IS NOW ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO SUGGEST A LIGHT
SNOWFALL IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY LIKELY.

BEYOND THURSDAY...TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO MODERATE BACK ABOVE
SEASONAL NORMS AS WEST TO SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT SETS UP ACROSS THE
CENTRAL CONUS. MODELS CONTINUE TO HAVE A HARD TIME RESOLVING
INDIVIDUAL FEATURES IN THE ACTIVE WESTERLIES...SO CONFIDENCE IN
PRECIP CHANCES ARE LOW. GEM/EC SHOW A STRONGER WAVE AND SFC
REFLECTION CRUISING OVER OR NEAR IA SATURDAY...PROVIDING A CHANCE OF
SNOW TO NORTHERN SECTIONS. A MORE SIGNIFICANT UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
HEADS INTO THE PLAINS EARLY NEXT WEEK. GFS HAS BEEN HAVING
DIFFICULTY WITH WHICH PART OF TROUGH TO EMPHASIZE...NOW SHOWING A
SINGLE...MUCH FARTHER NORTH...SFC LOW MOVING ACROSS NRN MN ON
MONDAY. MEANWHILE...EC HAS BEEN A LITTLE MORE CONSISTENT WITH A MORE
SOUTHERN LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WHICH COULD LEAD TO A MORE SIGNIFICANT
SNOWFALL FOR CENTRAL IA SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. STILL MUCH TO BE
IRONED OUT SO STAY TUNED.

AVIATION...29/12Z
ARCTIC FRONT NEARLY THROUGH ENTIRE CWA WITH WINDS AT ALL TERMINAL
SITES NOW OUT OF THE NORTHWEST. GRADIENT TO CONTINUE TO TIGHTEN
THROUGH THE DAY...WITH COLD AIR ADVECTION ALLOWING WINDS TO KICK UP
TO 25 TO 35 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 45 MPH OR HIGHER EXPECTED THROUGH MUCH
OF THE DAY. LIGHT SNOW CURRENTLY BEING REPORTED ACROSS NORTHWESTERN
IOWA AND EASTERN NEBRASKA...WITH THE AREA OF SNOW TO SPREAD EASTWARD
WITH TIME. MVFR CEILINGS EXPECTED THROUGH THE CRITICAL TAF
PERIOD...WITH IFR/LIFR VSBYS POSSIBLE DUE TO SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW
EXPECTED BY MID/LATE MORNING ACROSS THE NRN TAF SITES...AND INTO THE
AFTERNOON HOURS AT KDSM AND KOTM. SNOW TO HAVE PUSHED EAST OF THE
AREA BY LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING WITH SKIES CLEARING TONIGHT.
WINDS TO REMAIN STRONG....AND SLOWLY DIMINISH TONIGHT.
