Area forecast discussion, Jun 11, 7:11 AM CDT, 4 hours 15 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
711 AM CDT WED JUN 11 2008

.UPDATE...
ADDED WIND ADVISORY WESTERN PORTIONS THROUGH 18Z.

&&

.SHORT TERM.../TODAY/
INITIAL CONCERN IS EVOLUTION OF DEVELOPING NE MCS.  RUC H8/H7 CIN
CONTINUES TO ERODE THROUGH 12Z WHICH ALSO COINCIDES WITH
STRENGTHENING 310K MOISTURE CONVERGENCE.  THIS IS PLAYING OUT MUCH
LIKE DEPICTED IN MOST DETERMINISTIC MODELS AND ENSEMBLES WHICH PUSH
IT EWD THROUGH IA...SO HAVE CONSIDERABLY BOOSTED POPS INTO LIKELIES
AND CATEGORICAL WRN SECTIONS.  EXPECT SVR THREAT TO CONTINUE MUCH
LIKE IS OCCURRING UPSTREAM.  +1000 J/KG MUCAPES MOVE INTO IA WITH
ADEQUATE DEEP SHEAR AND STEEPENING MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES.  LOCALLY
HEAVY RAINS EXPECTED TOO.  AMOUNTS SHOULD NOT GET TOO CRAZY BECAUSE
OF ITS SPEED AND COVERAGE LIMITATIONS...BUT IT WILL NOT TAKE MUCH
EITHER CONSIDERING OUR AMBIENT SOIL MOISTURE SO HAVE BUMPED UP WATCH
START TIME TO 12Z.  TEMPERED HIGHS BACK A BIT TOO CONSIDERING CLOUDS
AND EXPECTED PCPN.

.LONG TERM...
VERY DYNAMIC SYSTEM TO OUR WEST WILL BEGIN PUSHING EAST
TODAY.  SURFACE LOW OVER THE DAKOTAS AND ATTENDANT WARM FRONT ALONG
THE IA/MN BORDER WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE TO THE E.  CAPES AROUND 3500
J/KG OVER US TODAY AS MOISTURE INCREASING AND BULK SHEAR SUFFICIENT
FOR SUPER CELLS TODAY ALTHOUGH MODELS ARE BEGINNING PRECIP A BIT
LATER. THIS MORNING/S CONVECTION MAY MIX THE ATMOSPHERE SOME BUT IT
SHOULD REMAIN CAPPED THROUGH 21Z WITH RAPID EROSION AS THE COLD
FRONT MOVES INTO WESTERN IOWA.  STORMS SHOULD BE GOING BY 00Z THEN
MOVE EAST ACROSS THE CWA DURING THE NIGHT.  SHEAR PROFILES WILL
INCREASE IN RESPONSE TO A 60-70 KT LLJ.  MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO
POP/PRECIP AS THE INITIAL LINE SHOULD MOVE THROUGH THE CWA BY
THURSDAY MORNING THEN REFIRE OVER THE SOUTHEAST HALF OF IOWA DURING
THE AFTERNOON ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY.

AFTER THURSDAY THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN BEGINS TO CHANGE TO A
SOMEWHAT DRIER AND MORE PROGRESSIVE PATTERN.  STILL LOOKING FOR
ANOTHER FRONT AND UPPER LEVEL WAVE TO PASS ACROSS IOWA ON SUNDAY BUT
THE SYSTEM IS PROGRESSIVE AND HEAVY RAIN WON/T BE AS WIDE SPREAD.
ADJUSTED TEMPS DURING THE DAYS EXPECTING RAIN AS CLOUD COVER WILL BE
EXPANSIVE AND THIS SHOULD HOLD BACK TEMPS A DEGREE OR TWO.

&&

.AVIATION...11/12Z
SCT TSRA OCCURRING ON THE NOSE OF THE LLJ AND THE FRINGE OF WARM AIR
ALOFT.  THESE STORMS SHOULD SUSTAIN THEMSELVES ACROSS ALL THE TAF
SITES...ENDING AROUND 20Z IN THE ALO/OTM AREAS.  ADDITIONAL STORMS
WILL FIRE ALONG A FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER WESTERN IA LATE THIS
AFTN/EVE THEN MOVE ACROSS THE TAF SITES OVERNIGHT.  THESE STORMS
WILL BE STRONG TO SEVERE WITH WIND G55KT OR GREATER. MVFR COND XPCTD
THIS A.M. GOING TO VFR CIGS THROUGH 22Z.  CONDITIONS WILL FALL BACK
TO MVFR/LCL IFR AFT 23Z.
