AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
427 AM CDT THU JUN 18 2009

.DISCUSSION...
MULTIPLE CONVECTIVE EVENTS ARE THE OBVIOUS FOCUS THIS MORNING.
CURRENT SITUATION HAS 100-130KT JET TOPPING CENTRAL CONUS RIDGE.
RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF MAX WINDS THROUGH MI HELPED FEED OUR
EXITING MCS.  NEXT SHORT WV MOVED OUT OF CO INTO NE OVERNIGHT AND IS
PRESENTLY DRIVING THAT MCS.  EXPECT THIS COMPLEX TO KEEP ON ROLLING
INTO IA THIS MORNING.  KINEMATIC FORCING SUSTAINS WITH HELP FROM
AXIS OF THETA-E ADVECTION FROM NE INTO IA...ALONG WITH ELEVATED
FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING WITH BACLIN ZONE ALOFT.  MOISTURE
CONVERGENCE ALONG 310K SFC SUGGESTS THIS AS WELL.  EXTREME ELEVATED
INSTABILITY AVAILABLE WITH 3-4K CAPES AND LITTLE CIN IN PLACE
THROUGH AT LEAST 15Z.   EFFECTIVE SHEAR 50 PLUS KTS ALONG BACLIN ZN
SO WOULD NOT BE AT ALL SURPRISED TO SEE MCS STRENGTHEN AS IT ENTERS
IA.  SHOULD THEN SEE A LULL THROUGH MUCH OF THE AFTERNOON AS WARM
TEMPS AND EML BUILD INTO IA A LA THE SPC DAY 1 OUTLOOK.  09Z SFC
ANLYS PLACES SYNOPTIC FRONT FROM ERN NE ALONG IA/MO BORDER WHICH
SHOULD SURGE NWD INTO STATE AS CAP TEMPORARILY BUILDS.  CONVERGENCE
ZONE IS EXPECTED TO THEN BE ACROSS NRN IA BY END OF PEAK HEATING.
WITH MLCAPES IN EXCESS OF 4K J/KG...STRONG DEEP SHEAR AND MORE THAN
ADEQUATE SHALLOW SHEAR CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY...
TORNADIC SUPERCELLS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP QUICKLY ONCE IT GOES HENCE
SVR WORDING IN ZONES.

UNLIKE PRESENT SITUATION...VEERING LLJ MAY PUSH MCS OUT OF AREA
LATER TONIGHT.  HOWEVER FORCING AHEAD OF NRN PLAINS THROUGH EXPECTED
TO DEVELOP YET ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION WITH FROPA ON FRI BEFORE
ENDING HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND.  WITH AIRMASS JUICED...HEAVY RAIN
AND FLOODING POSSIBLE BUT SECONDARY THREAT TO SVR.  BETTER HEAVY
RAINS CHANCES ARE NORTH...BUT THIS AREA CAN TAKE MORE RAIN AS WELL.
NO CHANGES TO FORECAST FOR WEEKEND AND BEYOND.

WE CERTAINLY HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO WARM UP GREATLY TODAY...BUT
STAYED JUST BELOW PERSISTENCE DUE TO APPROACHING MCS.  THIS WILL
HAVE TO BE WATCHED HOWEVER.  EXPECT ANOTHER WARM AND MUGGY NIGHT
TONIGHT WITH FAIRLY SEASONAL TEMPS AND RELATIVELY DRIER CONDITIONS
FOR THE WEEKEND...ESPECIALLY SAT.

&&

.AVIATION...18/06Z
MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS IN PLACE OVER IOWA.  SEVERAL CLUSTERS OF
STORMS APPROACHING THE TAF SITES THUS PERIODS OF STORMS WILL PERSIST
THROUGH 12Z.  ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT WILL OCCUR OVER TAF LOCATIONS
AFT 22Z AS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY RE-ESTABLISHES ITSELF ACROSS CENTRAL
IOWA. MVFR CONDITIONS IN THUNDERSTORMS OTHERWISE VFR CIGS ARE
FORECAST.
