AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
1155 AM CDT SUN JUN 8 2008

.UPDATED PUBLIC AND AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.DISCUSSION...
HAVE TRIMMED THE FF.A BACK A FEW COUNTIES ACROSS THE FAR NORTH FOR
THIS AFTERNOON. MAIN STORMS CONTINUE TO FIRE SOUTH OF THAT
AREA...THOUGH SOME NORTHERN MIGRATION OF THE ACTIVITY HAS BEEN
NOTED.  AREAL FLOODING ONGOING MOST PLACES RIGHT NOW. BEST MOISTURE
TRANSPORT WILL CONTINUE SOUTH. SOME CONCERNS REGRADING MODEL
HANDLING OF NEXT UPSTREAM WAVE. THE STORM MAY TRACK FARTHER NORTH
TNT...THOUGH CONSENSUS REMAINS OVER NORTHERN MO WITH CONTINUED HVY
RAINFALL CHANCES THERE INTO FAR SOUTHEAST. AM CONTINUING TO EVALUATE
THE BEST PLACEMENT OF FF.A EXTENSION FOR THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT.
WILL PROBABLY ADD THE SOUTHEAST COUNTIES FOR THE NIGHT AND EXTEND
SOME AREAS SOUTH OF I80 AND EAST OF I35 TO 12Z MON./REV

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
MAIN CONCERN OBVIOUSLY REMAINS CONVECTIVE TRENDS AND FLOODING INTO
TONIGHT.  PARENT LONG WV TROUGH STILL MAKING ITS WAY THROUGH THE
ROCKIES.  SHORT WV HAS MATURED ON THE BACK EDGE OF MO VALLEY MCS
WITH STRONG THETA-E ADVECTION AND THERMODYNAMIC FORCING INTO IA.
SHALLOW AND DEEP SHEAR SHOULD BE MORE THAN ADEQUATE TO KEEP MCS
GOING AS IT CROSSES IA THIS MORNING.  STRONG LOW LEVEL JET WILL
CONTINUE TO FEED CONVECTION THIS MORNING WITH PWS APPROACHING 2
INCHES AND WCDS TO AROUND 14KFT.  CONSIDERING SOIL CONDITIONS AND
REPETITIVE TRAINING OVERNIGHT SEE NO REASON NOT TO EXTEND FLASH
FLOOD WATCH THROUGH 00Z.  SUBSIDENCE BEHIND MO VALLEY SHORT WV MAY
BE ENOUGH FOR A BREAK EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...BUT GFS/NAM EMPHATIC
WITH CAPES INCREASING AND CINS LOWERING ALONG AND AHEAD OF FRONT
LATER THIS AFTERNOON.  CANNOT ARGUE WITH THIS AT ALL CONSIDERING THE
LARGE SCALE FORCING INCREASING AHEAD OF LONG WV TROUGH.  HAVE
CATEGORICAL POPS OVER MANY AREAS WITH CONTINUED MENTION OF HEAVY
RAIN AND SVR WX.  SVR PARAMETERS ARE NOT QUITE AS STRIKING AS THEY
WERE TODAY...BUT CERTAINLY ENOUGH TO MENTION A SVR THREAT.

OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES VS SYNOPTIC FRONT WILL CERTAINLY PLAY A PART IN
WHERE CONVECTION AND HEAVIEST RAIN SETS UP TONIGHT.  HOWEVER FEEL
THAT MAGNITUDE OF FORCING WILL STILL BE ENOUGH FOR POST FRONTAL PCPN
SO HAVE KEEP CATEGORICAL WORDING GOING IN SERN SECTIONS TONIGHT AND
EVEN LIKELIES INTO MON.

SHOULD SEE A BREAK MON NIGHT INTO TUE WITH NO NOTED FEATURE TO
EMPHASIZE.  WILL CONTINUE SLIGHT CHANCES OR LOW END CHANCES
HOWEVER.  NAM IS BEGINNING TO INCREASE THE SIGNAL BUT SREF/GFS/ECMWF
HAVE NOT REALLY INCREASED SCENARIO SO WILL NOT JUMP ON ANYTHING
QUITE YET.

DID NOT DEVIATE MUCH FROM TEMP GUIDANCE TODAY OR TONIGHT.  ETA MOS
SEEMS TOO WARM SO WILL CONTINUE SLIGHTLY COOLER AS SUGGESTED BY
SREF.  CANNOT ARGUE WITH MOS BLEND MON NIGHT/TUE EITHER.  NO CHANGES
TO LATER PERIODS WITH ACTIVE WX ALL NIGHT.  NEXT SIGNIFICANT
CONVECTION CHANCES STILL SEE TO BE AROUND THU.

&&

.AVIATION...08/18Z
WILL NOT BE ADDING TO THE CURRENT DISCUSSION DUE TO TIME CONCERNS...
OTHER THAN SLOW IMPROVEMENT ACROSS THE NORTH LATE THIS AFTERNOON/TNT
AS THE MAIN AREA OF THUNDER/IFR CONDITIONS BEGIN TO SHIFT SOUTH WITH
TIME. BY 12Z MON...KOTM WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE SOME MVFR/IFR
CONDITIONS WITH REMAINDER OF SITES TRANSITIONING TO VFR.

PREVIOUS...EXPECT PROLONGED THUNDERSTORM EVENT OF VARIED INTENSITIES
THROUGH MUCH OF SUN AFFECTING FOD/MCW/ALO INITIALLY AND THEN
GRADUALLY WORKING TOWARDS DSM/OTM.  COULD VERY WELL SEE IFR OR LOWER
CONDITIONS...BUT HAVE BROAD BRUSHED MVFR FOR STARTERS WITH TIMING OF
LOWER CONDITIONS VERY DIFFICULT TO TIME.  CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE
BY LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING FROM NW TO SE.

&&

.DMX...FLASH FLOOD WATCH ALONG AND NW OF LWD-CHC-OXV-GGI LINE TIL
00Z WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE FAR NORTHWEST WHICH HAS BEEN DROPPED.
