AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
650 PM CDT MON JUN 9 2008

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.DISCUSSION...
12 TO 15Z MORNING SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS WEAKENING BOUNDARY OVER
WI..IA..KS SOUTHWEST TO OK WITH MOISTURE POOLED SOUTH OF THE FRONT
AND DRIER AIR TO THE NORTH. ANOTHER COOL FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE
UPPER LVL SYSTEM TRACKING ACROSS CANADA HAS SWUNG EAST ACROSS THE
DAKOTAS AND MN. MAIN FOCUS OF THUNDER WILL REMAIN JUST SOUTHEAST OF
THE STATE TODAY. MODELS IN AGREEMENT OVER THE NEXT 24 TO 36 WITH
EVOLUTION OF NEXT LEE SIDE TROUGH EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE AREA WED
THROUGH FRIDAY. A MUCH NEEDED BREAK IN RAIN EXPECTED THROUGH
TOMORROW EVENING FOR MOST OF THE REGION EXCEPT FOR THE FAR NORTH
WHERE SOME SCT THUNDER MAY DEVELOP LATE TUES AFTERNOON ALONG AXIS OF
THETAE ADVECTION. BY TUES NIGHT LLJET BEGINS TO INCREASE OVER THE
REGION WITH INCREASING SFC MOISTURE. LOOKS LIKE NOCTURNAL THUNDER
WILL BE ONGOING BY AM HOURS OVER WESTERN/CENTRAL SECTIONS OF THE
STATE WITH POSSIBLE QUICK HIT AT QPF OF .25 TO .50 OR SO OVER THOSE
AREAS BEFORE THE OVERNIGHT CONVECTION WEAKENS WITH TIME. AS THE
FORECAST AREA BECOMES CAPPED WITH H700 10C LID...EXPECT MOST OF THE
THUNDER TO REMAIN NORTH OF THE AREA THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS WITH
SIGNIFICANTLY MORE UNCOMFORTABLE DAY ON THE WAY FOR THE REGION. AS
THE FRONT APPROACHES FOR WED NIGHT AND THURS...THUNDER CHANCES WILL
INCREASE WITH BETTER CHANCES FOR HEAVY RAINFALL ONCE AGAIN. MODELS
AT ODDS ON TIMING OF FRONTAL EXIT...AND FAVOR THE SLOWER EURO/GEM
OVER THE MORE PROGRESSIVE GFS...ESPECIALLY WITH THE STRENGTH OF THE
EASTERN RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE CURRENTLY ANCHORED OVER THE SOUTHEAST
US. TEMPS TO BE ON THE INCREASE OVER THE NEXT TWO DAYS...ESPECIALLY
WED AS THE WARM SECTOR OVERTAKES THE AREA. DEW POINTS WILL AGAIN
CLIMB INTO THE LOWER 70S AS WELL MAKING FOR UNCOMFORTABLE
CONDITIONS. CAPE TO RISE OVER 3000 J/KG BY WED PM WITH WEAK CAP OVER
THE AREA. SCT THUNDER STILL A GOOD BET FOR THE DAYTIME HOURS MOST
AREAS. BEST BULK SHEAR WED NIGHT AND THUR BEHIND THE FRONT WHICH
WILL SUPPORT HEAVY RAIN WITH STORMS ALONG THE BOUNDARY WITH SVR OUT
AHEAD OF IT. OVER THE WEEKEND THE FLOW TURNS MORE WEST
NORTHWESTERLY. NORMALLY A GOOD THING...BUT SOME INDICATION THAT A
FEW WAVES WILL TRANSITION SOUTHEAST FROM CANADA AND BRING SCT STORMS
TO THE AREA SAT NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY. AT THIS TIME...THE DEEPEST
MOISTURE WOULD LIKELY REMAIN SOUTH OF THE REGION WHICH WOULD
DECREASE HEAVY RAINFALL CHANCES...BUT LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN FOR MORE
SCT SVR STORMS THROUGH THE PERIOD AS WEAK SYSTEMS WIGGLE SOUTHEAST
WITH TIME. 12Z GFS IS NOW SHOWING A SIMILAR SCENARIO FOR SCT STORMS
AFTER THE WED-FRI EVENT...THOUGH THE TIMING IS NOT IN CONCERT WITH
THE OTHER MODELS...THOUGH CONFIDENCE IN TIMING IS ALWAYS AN ISSUE
AFTER 5 DAYS. AT LEAST THE PATTERN CHANGING TO A SLIGHTLY MORE
NORTHWEST FLOW WILL ALLOW FOR A FEW BREAKS FROM TIME TO TIME
PROVIDED THE SOUTHWEST US RIDGE DOES NOT BULGE NORTH AND INTENSIFY
THE WESTERLIES. TEMPS FOR THE EXTENDED HAVE BEEN DECREASED WITH
EXPECTED DROP IN THICKNESS...AND LIKELIHOOD THAT EITHER MORE CLOUDS
OR SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR WILL BE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

&&

.AVIATION...09/18Z
A FEW AREAS OF CONVECTION MOVING ACROSS IOWA THIS EVENING AND WILL
BEGIN TO WEAKEN TOWARD SUNSET. MAY HAVE VCTS NEAR DSM AND OTM THOUGH
NOT EXPECTED TO MOVE OVER SITES. VFR CONDITIONS AFTER 03Z SHOULD BE
WIDESPREAD ACRS CNTRL IA THROUGH THE PERIODS WITH WESTERLY SFC FLO.
