AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
337 PM CDT FRI JUN 27 2008

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT

ANOTHER INTERESTING FORECAST SCENARIO.  WE HAD AN MCV MOVE ACROSS
SRN IA WHICH PRODUCED CLEARING SKIES IN ITS WAKE.  THIS IS NOW
ALLOWING THE ATMOSPHERE TO DESTABILIZE AND WITH MID 60 DEWPOINTS AND
CAPES OF 2000-3000...THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE DEVELOPING OVER THE NEXT
HOUR OR SO.  TO OUR WEST...AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IS PUSHING THROUGH
THE DAKOTAS AND INTO NW IA.  A COUPLE OF VORT CENTERS ARE RIDING
THROUGH THE FLOW AND ENHANCING THE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT.  MEANWHILE
AT THE SURFACE...LOW PRESSURE OVER MN HAS AN ATTENDANT COLD FRONT
OVER OVER SE SDKTA INTO NCEN NEB.  THIS FEATURE SHOULD BE THE MAIN
SHOW AS THUNDERSTORMS ERUPT AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE IN SOME VERY
MOISTURE RICH AND UNSTABLE AIR.  ONCE THE STORMS GET GOING THEY
SHOULD BE PROGRESSIVE AND PUSH SOUTHEAST ACROSS CENTRAL IOWA THIS
EVENING.  THE ONE CAVEAT TO THIS SCENARIO IS THE GFS SOLUTION...
WHICH DEVELOPS AN MCS ALONG THE IA/MO BORDER AND TRUCKS THAT EAST
OVERNIGHT.  THE QPF THAT THE GFS PUTS OUT IS IN EXCESS OF 3
INCHES...WHICH WOULD NOT BE FAVORABLE.  IT IS HOWEVER THE OUTLIER SO
WHILE IT DESERVES MENTION GIVEN OUR PAST HEAVY RAINFALL...IT IS THE
LEAST FAVORED GIVEN THE CURRENT POSITION OF DEVELOPMENT.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH FRIDAY
LARGE UPPER LEVEL CLOSED LOW OVER SOUTHERN MANITOBA WILL DIVE
SOUTHEAST IN TO SOUTHERN MINNESOTA BY SATURDAY MORNING THEN CLIP
ACROSS NORTHEAST IOWA THROUGH THE DAY. THE 500 MB -20C COLD CORE
WILL MOVE OVER THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA BETWEEN
15Z-21Z. IF ANY SURFACE HEATING AT ALL CAN OCCUR AHEAD OF THE UPPER
LEVEL SYSTEM AND ARRIVAL OF THE COLD CORE...WILL BECOME A CLASSIC
COLD CORE PULSE SEVERE CASE. ANY STORMS THAT DEVELOP IN THESE CASES
TEND TO BE PROFICIENT SMALL HAIL PRODUCERS WITH A FEW REACHING UP TO
SEVERE LIMITS. IN ADDITION WITH THE PULSE NATURE OF THE STORMS AND
UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW...MICROBURSTS WITH GUSTS TO 60 MPH WILL BE
POSSIBLE. WITH THE UPPER LEVEL CIRCULATION PASSING OVERHEAD...CAN
NOT RULE OUT A FEW FUNNEL CLOUDS OVER THE NORTH DURING THE TIME
PERIOD SPECIFIED ABOVE. HIGHS ON SATURDAY WILL BE FAIRLY COOL WITH
HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 70S THOUGH CANNOT DISCOUNT POTENTIAL FOR
READINGS TO HOLD IN THE UPPER 60S NEAR THE MASON CITY AREA.

CYCLONIC FLOW WILL CONTINUE ON SUNDAY THOUGH BEST UPPER LEVEL ENERGY
ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM WILL BE TO THE EAST...A FEW
SHOWERS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE OVER THE EAST ESPECIALLY IN THE
AFTERNOON. THE STATE WILL REMAIN UNDER NORTHWEST FLOW THROUGH MID
NEXT WEEK. THE UPPER LEVEL LOW FROM THIS WEEKEND WILL LEAVE THE AREA
WASHED OUT SO TO SPEAK FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH ANY MOISTURE
SUPPRESSED WELL TO THE SOUTH. FOR WEDNESDAY AND BEYOND...HAVE
FOLLOWED THE MORE CONSISTENT AND PROGRESSIVE ECMWF WITH CHANCES FOR
THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WITH THE BOUNDARY THEN SETTLING
JUST TO THE SOUTH IN MISSOURI TO END THE WEEK. PLACEMENT OF WHERE
THE BOUNDARY STALLS WILL BE HIGHLY DEPENDANT ON THE STRENGTH OF THE
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING THROUGH THE GULF OF ALASKA WHICH WILL IN
TURN BUILD A RIDGE THROUGH THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN WEST. THE STRONGER THE
RIDGE BECOMES TO THE WEST...THE FARTHER SOUTH THE SFC BOUNDARY WILL
LIKELY SETTLE THEN STALL.

&&

.AVIATION....27/18Z
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND A COLD FRONT EXTENDING FROM A LOW OVER MN
WILL BE THE MAIN PLAYERS IN THE FORECAST.  THUNDERSTORMS WILL
DEVELOP OVER SDKTA AND NEB AND ROLL ACROSS CENTRAL IOWA DURING THE
LATE AFTERNOON THROUGH MID EVENING HOURS.  MVFR/IFR COND WL LIFT TO
VFR COND THROUGH 22Z THEN THERE WILL BE LCL MVFR/IFR COND IN TSRA.

&&

.DMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...FLASH FLOOD WATCH HIGHWAY 3
SOUTH TO MISSOURI BORDER UNTIL 00Z.
