AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
648 PM CDT WED JUN 11 2008

.DISCUSSION...
LARGE MID-LEVEL CYCLONE SITS OVER NORTHERN ROCKIES WITH SHORTWAVE
SWINGING AROUND ITS SOUTHERN PERIPHERY EVIDENT ON WV IMAGERY. SFC
ANALYSIS SHOWS LOW PRESSURE NEARLY STATIONARY IN EASTERN SD WITH
WARM/STATIONARY FRONT STRETCHED ACROSS SOUTHERN MN AND WI...AND COLD
FRONT EXTENDING THROUGH EASTERN NE AND CENTRAL/WESTERN KS. DEEP
SOUTHERLY FLOW IN THE WARM SECTOR HAS ALLOWED LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE TO
POOL UP ACROSS OUR AREA...WITH DEWPOINTS NOW IN THE MID/UPPER 60S
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN 2/3 OF THE STATE. SKIES HAVE LARGELY CLEARED OUT
BEHIND EARLIER CONVECTIVE CLUSTER AND ARE NOW PARTLY CLOUDY OVER
MUCH OF CENTRAL IOWA...ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO RISE INTO THE LOWER
80S IN SOME LOCATIONS.

WITH THE INCREASE IN LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE AND WARM AIR INSTABILITY IS
INCREASING SIGNIFICANTLY. WIND SHEAR ALSO HIGH WITH SWERLY FLOW
ALOFT AND AN 850 MB JET OVER WESTERN IA. AS THE MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE
REVOLVES AROUND THE SOUTHEASTERN PERIPHERY OF THE LOW THIS
EVENING...IT WILL KICK THE SURFACE LOW NORTHEAST BRINGING THE COLD
FRONT THROUGH CENTRAL IA OVERNIGHT. FIRST THREAT WILL BE ISOLATED
CONVECTION IN THE WARM SECTOR WELL AHEAD OF THE FRONT THIS
EVENING/EARLY TONIGHT...HOWEVER IT APPEARS THAT WARM AIR ABOVE THE
SFC WILL PROVIDE SUFFICIENT CAP TO KEEP THIS IN CHECK. ANYTHING THAT
DOES DEVELOP IN THIS TIMEFRAME WILL HAVE A GOOD CHANCE OF GOING
SEVERE GIVEN THE ENVIRONMENT. STORMS ALONG AND JUST AHEAD OF THE
COLD FRONT WILL ENTER OUR AREA BETWEEN 00Z AND 04Z...MOVING ACROSS
THROUGH THE NIGHT. PRIMARY SEVERE THREAT WILL BE NWERN HALF OF
CWA...WITH CONVECTION TRANSITIONING TO ELEVATED AND SEVERE THREAT
DIMINISHING BUT STILL PRESENT AFTER ABOUT MIDNIGHT. QPF DIFFICULT TO
PIN DOWN TONIGHT...BUT HEAVY RAIN WILL BE WIDESPREAD WITH THE
HIGHEST AMOUNTS LIKELY EARLIER IN THE NIGHT ACROSS THE NORTHWEST.

FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS IA ON THU AND MAY SEE ADNL TSRA
DURING THE AFTERNOON OVER THE SERN THIRD. THAT SHOULD MOVE SE OF
THE CWA BY SNST AND EXPECT IA TO MISS MOST OF THE CWA. PTRN CHNG
WILL GIVE IA A BREAK FRM THE ACTIVE WX FOR ABOUT A WEEK AS THE OVR
ALL PTRN BASICALLY SHIFTS 180 DEGREES. SOME PCPN ON TAP FOR THE
SUN INTO MON TIMEFRAME, BUT NOT AS WDSPRD OR HEAVY AS HAS BEEN THE
CASE OF LATE.

&&

.AVIATION...12/00Z
SVR SQUALL LINE ENTERING WRN IA WILL BE THE MAIN WX FEAT WITH THIS
SET.  TIMED THE SYS ACRS THE CWA OVR NGT WITH IT REACHING KFOD BY
AROUND 02Z AND KOTM ARND 08Z.  MAIN AREA LKLY TO LAST ABOUT 2 HRS
WITH SOME -TSRA AFT MAIN LINE.  OUTSIDE OF TSRA, GENL VFR CONDS WILL
HOLD THRU FCST PD.  WILL BE A CHANCE OF REDEVELOPMENT OVR THE SERN
TAFS BY THE MID DAY PERIOD ON THU...WITH ENTIRE AREA SHIFTING SWD BY
END OF TAF PD.
