AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
615 AM CDT THU AUG 27 2009

...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.SHORT TERM.../TODAY/
RAIN PERSISTS ACROSS ABOUT THE SOUTHEASTERN HALF OF OUR AREA...WITH
MODERATE/HEAVY RAIN CONFINED TO ROUGHLY SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 30 AND EAST
OF I-35. CIRCULATION APPARENT ON RADAR LOOPS WITHIN OVERALL PRECIP
SHIELD...AS RAIN IN OUR SOUTHEAST IS MOVING NORTHEAST AND RAIN
ACROSS OUR CENTRAL COUNTIES IS MOVING SOUTHWEST IN SOME AREAS.
HOWEVER...INTENSITY HAS BEEN DIMINISHING EVERYWHERE WITH
ACCUMULATION RATES NOW AROUND HALF AN INCH PER HOUR OR LESS AT ALL
LOCATIONS. EXPECTATION IS THAT PRECIP SHIELD WILL FINALLY BEGIN TO
MOVE SLOWLY SOUTHEAST AFTER SUNRISE...WITH INTENSITY CONTINUING TO
DIMINISH AS WELL. WILL ONCE AGAIN GO WITH A PRE-FIRST PERIOD AND
SLOWLY SHIFT POPS SOUTHEAST AND LOWER THEM BY THIS AFTERNOON.
THUNDER IS ALSO VERY LIMITED AS THE ATMOSHPERE HAS BEEN QUITE WORKED
OVER...SO LIMITED ITS MENTION TO JUST ISOLD IN THE FAR SOUTHEAST.
OTHER FORECAST QUESTION FOR TODAY IS HOW FAR THE CLOUD SHIELD WILL
CLEAR FROM OUR NORTHERN/WESTERN AREAS BY THIS AFTERNOON...AS IT IS
CURRENTLY EXPANDING SLOWLY NORTHWEST AND ALREADY COVERS OUR ENTIRE
CWA. STILL BELIEVE CLEARING WILL AFFECT AT LEAST OUR NORTHERN TIER
OR TWO OF COUNTIES THIS AFTERNOON...AND POSSIBLY OUR FAR WEST AS
WELL. HAVE LOWERED TEMPS AT MOST OTHER LOCATIONS DUE TO LIKELIHOOD
OF THICK CLOUD COVER AND POSSIBLY LIGHT RAIN PERSISTING ALL THE WAY
THROUGH THE DAY.

.LONG TERM.../TONIGHT THROUGH WED/
TWO PRECIP WINDOWS IN THIS PERIOD...POTENTIAL FOR LINGERING SHOWERS
TONIGHT AND THEN CONVECTION AGAIN LATE FRIDAY WITH APPROACH OF
CURRENT ALBERTA SHORT WAVE.  WILL FOLLOW BLEND OF 00Z GFS/ECMWF
TONIGHT AS THOSE MODELS SEEM TO BE HANDLING THE CURRENT SITUATION
THE BEST.  26/00Z GFS WAS RIGHT ON TARGET SLOWLY LIFTING MCV/SHORT
WV ACROSS IA.  NAM HAS CONTINUED RECENT BIAS OF BEING TOO SLOW AND
W/NW WITH PRECIP SHIELD.  GFS/ECMWF 305K ISENT SFCS BOTH SHOW LIFT
AND MOISTURE JUST EXITING SERN SECTIONS TONIGHT...HENCE CHANCES POPS.

BY LATE FRI ALBERTA SHORT WAVE WILL QUICKLY AMPLIFY AND CARVE
ATYPICAL CLOSED LOW INTO THE GREAT LAKES.  MUCH OF THE FORCING WILL
REMAIN TO OUR N AND E...HOWEVER SWRN EDGE WILL BRUSH IA AND BE
COINCIDENT WITH PEAK HEATING GENERATING JUST ENOUGH MLCAPE FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS.  HAVE NUDGED POPS JUST INTO
CHANCE CATEGORY.  MORE SIGNIFICANT WX WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL LIKELY
BE COOL DOWN WITH READINGS 10-15F BELOW NORMAL FOR THE
WEEKEND...POSSIBLY APPROACHING BUT NOT QUITE REACHING RECORD LOWS IN
SPOTS BY MON MORNING.  STAYED CLOSE TO GUIDANCE BLEND INTO SAT THEN
WENT JUST BELOW GFS MOS EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...27/12Z
LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN CONTINUES ACROSS PARTS OF
CENTRAL...EASTERN...AND SOUTHEASTERN IOWA THIS MORNING...AND WILL
PERSIST THROUGH TODAY ALTHOUGH COVERAGE SHOULD DECREASE AFTER MID
MORNING AND THE TERMINALS SHOULD BE CLEAR OF RAIN FOR THE MOST PART
AFTER 14Z OR 15Z. PRIMARY AVIATION FORECAST CONCERN WILL BE THICK
LOW CLOUDS...ESPECIALLY AT KDSM AND KOTM. AT THE NORTHERN SITES THE
CLOUDS WILL CLEAR SOONER...BEFORE 18Z AT KALO AND KFOD. AT KDSM CIGS
WILL BE IFR AT TIMES EARLY THIS MORNING...THEN IMPROVE TO MVFR AND
EVENTUALLY VFR BY THIS AFTERNOON. AT KOTM CONDITIONS WILL BE
WORSE...WITH LIFR CIGS FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS LIFTING ONLY TO
MVFR FOR THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. BR EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AGAIN
TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY AT KDSM AND KOTM...HOWEVER ATTM WILL ADVERTISE
ONLY MVFR DUE TO UNCERTAINTIES OF FOG DEVELOPMENT TIMING.

.DMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE.
