AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
644 AM CDT FRI APR 25 2008

UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION

.SHORT TERM /TODAY/...
STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM BOTH AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT TO MOVE
OVER THE AREA TODAY. AS OF 2 AM...THE SFC LOW WAS IN CENTRAL
KANSAS AND POISED TO MOVE NORTHEAST ALONG FRONTAL BOUNDARY
EXTENDING NORTHEAST THROUGH WESTERN IOWA AND SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA.
WARM AND MOIST AIRMASS AHEAD OF THE LOW ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL AND
EASTERN IOWA...BUT ALREADY COOLING OFF TO THE NW WITH KEST ALREADY
DOWN TO 43 DEGREES AND A NORTH WIND GUSTING TO 35 MPH. EARLIER
CONVECTIVE COMPLEX EXITING NORTHEAST IOWA...BUT A LARGER MCS MOVING
INTO SW IOWA WITH MANY WARNINGS BEING ISSUED UPSTREAM. SVR TSTM
THREAT WILL CONTINUE EARLY THIS MORNING ACROSS SOUTHERN IA AS MUCAPES
REMAIN AROUND 1000 J/KG AND BULK SHEAR SUPPORTIVE OF STORM
ORGANIZATION. SFC LOW WILL MOVE RAPIDLY INTO NRN IA BY MIDDAY WITH
COLD FRONT SWEEPING EAST...AND LIKELY OUT OF CENTRAL IA BY MID
AFTERNOON. THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE AHEAD OF SFC LOW AND COLD
FRONT...BUT DRY SLOT WILL MOVE RAPIDLY UP THROUGH CENTRAL IA DURING
THE MORNING. DEFORMATION ZONE RAIN WILL OCCUR OVER NW IA WHERE
TEMPERATURES WILL BE FALLING INTO THE 30S. WILL HAVE TO WATCH THIS
AREA CAREFULLY FOR THE POTENTIAL OF LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS.
OTHERWISE...TEMPERATURES WILL FALL DRAMATICALLY BEHIND THE COLD
FRONT WITH SOME PLACES IN CENTRAL IA SOME 20 DEGREES COLDER AT
SUPPER TIME THAN AT BREAKFAST TODAY. WINDS WILL ALSO PICK UP BEHIND
THE FRONT AND COULD BE FLIRTING WITH ADVISORY CRITERIA. FLASH FLOOD
THREAT STILL THERE AS LONG AS THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST...THOUGH
THE NW EXTENT OF THE WATCH MAY NOT HAVE THE BEST CHANCES FOR
REALIZING FLOODING.

.LONG TERM /TONIGHT-THURSDAY/...
WILL DEAL WITH SOME WRAP AROUND PRECIP ACROSS THE NORTH EARLY
TONIGHT...WHICH WILL LIKELY FALL AS SNOW. BUT...WITH ONLY LIGHT
QPF EXPECTED...ANY SNOW ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD BE LIGHT. TREND IN
THE FORECAST WAS TO COOL TEMPS A BIT MORE OVER THE WEEKEND AND
INCREASE POPS FOR SATURDAY NIGHT. MODELS CONTINUE TO COME FARTHER
SOUTH WITH UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE AND A BIT STRONGER ON THE SFC
CYCLONGENESIS SOMEWHERE IN THE VICINTY OF NORTHERN MISSOURI. MODEL
CROSS SECTIONS PRETTY EMPHATIC WITH STRONG LIFT OVER CENTAL AND
SOUTHERN IA IN DEF ZONE. THIS HAS ME A BIT WORRIED WITH MUCH OF
THE SOUNDINGS BELOW ZERO UNTIL THE VERY LOWEST 25 TO 50 MB. WILL
CONTINUE TO ERR ON THE SIDE OF CLIMATOLOGY AND KEEP PRECIP MAINLY
LIQUID. BUT THIS DOES BEAR WATCHING. SUNDAY WILL BE THE COOLEST DAY
IN THE WAKE OF THIS SYSTEM WITH TEMPS 15 TO 20 DEGREES BELOW
NORMAL...AND THE POTENTIAL FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS...AND POSSIBLY SOME
THUNDER AND GRAUPEL. MADE NO CHANGES AND DID NOT HAVE A CHANCE TO
LOOK AT MUCH BEYOND MONDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...25/12Z
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ALONG WITH IFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE
FOR THE EASTERN SITES THROUGH MID TO LATE MORNING. PRECIP ENDS BY
17Z...BUT LOW CEILINGS AND GUSTY W TO NW WINDS WILL AFFECT TAF SITES
THROUGH EARLY TONIGHT. CEILINGS WILL LIKELY BECOME MVFR FOR NORTHERN
SITES...WHILE SOUTHERN SITES GRADUALLY CLEAR OUT AFTER 06Z.
