955 PM CDT WED AUG 27 2008

.DISCUSSION...

AS EXPCD MAIN SHRA/TSRA DVLPG WITH MAIN CONVERGENCE ALG DVLPG FNTL
BOUNDARY FM SWRN MN TO NWRN IA AND NERN NE ATTM...AS MAIN SHORT WAVE
MOVES EWD OVER THE DKTS. SO PRECIP CHCS IN SD RAPIDLY DMNSHG REST OF
NGT AND WILL HAVE TO FINE TUNE THE PRECIP GRIDS SOME MORE. OVERALL
PREV FCST WORKING OUT WELL BUT MAY HAVE TO SPEED THINGS UP SOME.

RSR

&&

.AVIATION...

MVFR CIGS IN SC DECK AND MVFR VSBYS IN SCT TSRA FLWD BY AREAS OF
BR...MAINLY EAST OF I29 THRU 09Z. POTENTIAL FOR LOCAL IFR CIGS AND
VSBYS VCNTY OF NWRN IA...MAINLY IN AREAS OF FG FM 09Z TO 14Z.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
NOT MUCH GOING ON AS OF 19Z WITH FNT STALLED ACRS SE SD AND SW MN.
CAPPING STILL IN PLACE WITH SOME WAA AT H85. CLOUD COVER ALSO
PREVENTING GOOD MIXING NEAR FNT. SO WL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THIS EVE
WHEN S/W GETS CLOSER TO CWA. THIS SHUD START TO PRODUCE SOME SCT
ELEVATED STORMS NEAR THE FNT ACRS SW MN AND THEN BUILD SWWD ALONG
THE FNT INTO SE SD AND NW IA. LLM IS ALSO INCREASING AND AS STORMS
BEGIN TO DEVELOP...SHUD BE ABLE TO TAP INTO SOME OF THE LLM AS
COOLER AIR ALOFT WITH S/W BREAKS CAP. NOT TOO SURE THAT WE WILL SEE
A LOT OF SVR WX...BUT CUD SEE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS AS STORM MOTION WL
BE FM W TO E ALONG STALLED BNDRY. WL GO WITH HIGHEST POPS FM LATE
EVENING THRU ABOUT 06Z OR 07Z AND THEN CUT BACK POPS AGAIN AS S/W
PULLS AWAY. GFS HAS PRECIP HANGING BACK ACRS SRN CWA THRU 12Z
THU...SO WL NEED TO WATCH FOR THAT ESPEC FOR HEAVY RAINS. FURTHER
W...PBLY WL NOT SEE ANY PRECIP AS DRIER AIR IN PLACE...BUT CANNOT
RULE OUT A STRAY STORM THIS EVE AS FAR W AS THE JAMES VALLEY.

BY THURSDAY MORNING...BOUNDARY WILL BE LOCATED ACROSS OUR
NORTHWESTERN IOWA ZONES...AND COULD SEE A CONTINUATION OF CONVECTION
OVER THIS AREA THROUGH 15Z WITH LINGERING THETA E
ADVECTION/INSTABILITY INTERACTING WITH LAST IMPULSE ROUNDING THE
MAIN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. PRECIPITATION SHOULD WIND DOWN PRETTY
QUICKLY BY LATE MORNING AS THE MAIN ENERGY FINALLY SWINGS THROUGH TO
OUR NORTH...PULLING DYNAMICS TO THE EAST AS DRIER AIR WORKS INTO THE
REGION. WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY BREEZY BEHIND THE SYSTEM WITH
ENSUING LOWER/MIDLEVEL CAA AND SURFACE PRESSURE RISES ALLOWING
HIGHER WINDS FROM ALOFT TO MIX DOWN. TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE CLOSE TO
NORMAL...IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S. THURSDAY LOOKS LIKE A COOLER
NIGHT WITH DYING WINDS AND CLEAR SKIES.

ON FRIDAY...SOUTHERLY FLOW BEGINS TO RETURN TO THE REGION AS SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE AXIS SHIFTS TO OUR SOUTHEAST. THIS WILL RESULT IN
WARMER TEMPERATURES IN THE AFTERNOON...WITH A FEW MID CLOUDS OVER
OUR FAR NORTH WITH LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ZONE/WEAK SHORTWAVE
RESIDING FROM NORTHERN MINNESOTA THROUGH NORTHERN SOUTH DAKOTA.

MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE PATTERN FOR THE WEEKEND...AS UPPER
LEVEL RIDGING BUILDS INTO THE REGION. UNDER A STRONG SOUTHERLY
FLOW...TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB TO 4 TO 8 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FOR
THIS TIME OF YEAR...AS 850 MB READINGS GET INTO THE UPPER TEENS TO
LOWER 20S C. SUNDAY WILL BE THE WARMER DAY...IN THE UPPER 80S TO
LOWER 90S ACROSS THE CWA. DID STAY BELOW WARMEST GUIDANCE HOWEVER
WITH SURFACE WINDS OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST. WILL BE PRETTY BREEZY BOTH
DAYS...ESPECIALLY IN OUR WESTERN AREAS...AS A TIGHT PRESSURE
GRADIENT SETS UP ACROSS THE REGION IN RESPONSE TO A DEVELOPING
SURFACE TROUGH OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES/WESTERN HIGH PLAINS.

MODELS THEN BEGIN TO DIVERGE SOMEWHAT BY THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK
WITH RESPECT TO THE PROGRESSION OF AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH SWINGING
THROUGH THE WESTERN U.S. LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. EVEN SO...ALL
POINT TOWARD THE UPPER SYSTEM AND SURFACE REFLECTION GETTING INTO
OUR AREA IN THE TUESDAY TO EARLY WEDNESDAY TIME FRAME. WITH THAT IN
MIND...DID KEEP SMALL POPS IN THE FORECAST TOWARD THE END OF THE
EXTENDED PERIOD. WHILE TEMPERATURES WILL BEGIN TO COOL DOWN FOR THE
BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK...SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH RESPECT TO ONSET OF
COOLING IN CONSIDERATION OF ABOVE MENTIONED MODEL DISCREPANCIES.
