AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
712 PM CDT WED JUN 17 2009

...UPDATED AVIATION FORECAST...

.SHORT TERM.../TONIGHT/
TRICKY SCENARIO SHAPING UP TONIGHT ACROSS THE AREA...WITH ATMOSPHERE
QUITE UNSTABLE AND A COUPLE OF BOUNDARIES ACROSS/NEAR THE AREA.
MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER CONTINUES ACROSS AREA WHERE WATCH
ALREADY IN PLACE...BUT ONGOING DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES TO TRACK MORE
EAST SOUTHEAST AND MAY MISS/SKIRT SOUTHWEST/SOUTH CENTRAL IOWA.
POTENTIAL FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS IN THAT
AREA STILL...SO WILL CONTINUE WITH THE WATCH FOR NOW. NEXT PUSH OF
ENERGY MOVING INTO WRN/CNTRL NE AND MAY SET OFF SECONDARY AROUND OF
CONVECTION WHICH IS POISED TO MOVE THROUGH SOUTHERN CWA LATE THIS
EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT WITH DAMAGING WIND STILL THE MAIN SEVERE
THREAT.

OTHERWISE BOUNDARY IN PLACE ACROSS CENTRAL/NORTH CENTRAL CWA AS
WELL...WITH SPC MESOANALYSIS INDICATING DESTABILIZATION ALREADY IN
PROGRESS. LOOKS LIKE COULD GET SOME INITIAL DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE
NEXT FEW HOURS ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN PLACE. POTENTIAL COULD
ALSO LEAD TO HAVING TO WAIT FOR UPSTREAM ENERGY TO GET ANYTHING
GOING UNTIL LATE THIS EVENING...BUT THEN SOUNDINGS INDICATE MORE
ELEVATED ACTIVITY LIMITING THE SEVERE THREAT AT THIS TIME. EITHER
WAY MOISTURE ON THE INCREASE...AND TO REMAIN ACROSS THE AREA
LIMITING OVERNIGHT TEMPS FROM COOLING OFF TOO MUCH AS DEWPOINTS
EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S ACROSS THE AREA
WITH MOISTURE ADVECTION POINTED DIRECTLY INTO CENTRAL CWA OVERNIGHT.

.LONG TERM.../THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/
WILL SEE ACTIVE WX PERSIST INTO THURSDAY AS FRONTAL BOUNDARY LIFTS
NORTH THROUGH THE STATE.  WL LIKELY SEE THE CAP ACRS SOUTHERN IA
ENDING TSRA DURING THE MORNING...HOWEVER WL SEE STRONG INSTABILITY
AND EDGE OF CAP IN NORTHERN IA AND WL LIKELY SEE SEVERE STORMS BY
LATE AFTERNOON OR EVENING WITH PEAK HEATING.  GIVEN THE SUFFICIENT
SHEAR AND NEARBY TRIPLE POINT...MAY SEE DECENT TORNADO THREAT BY MID
TO LATE AFTERNOON ACRS NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHWEST AREAS OF IOWA.
MOST CONVECTION WL REMAIN ACRS THE NORTH THURSDAY NIGHT...BUT MAY
BEGIN TO SPREAD SOUTHWARD OVERNIGHT AS BOUNDARY SLIPS INTO THE
STATE.  NEXT ROUND OF STORMS EXPECTED ON FRIDAY WITH FINAL SHORTWAVE
PASSING THROUGH THE STATE.  ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE WEATHER IS
LIKELY WITH THIS SYSTEM PRIOR TO SHORTWAVE PASSAGE WITH PCPN ENDING
FROM WEST TO EAST ON LATE FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT.  WARMEST
TEMPERATURES OF THE SEASON ARE EXPECTED ON THURSDAY WITH THERMAL
RIDGE AND CAP IN PLACE ACRS THE SOUTH ALLOWING READINGS INTO THE
LOWER 90S THERE. WL SEE SOME QUIET WEATHER ON SATURDAY WITH RIDGING
PASSING THROUGH THE AREA...HOWEVER WL BEGIN TO SEE RETURN OF HEAT ON
MOISTURE ON SUNDAY WITH THE THREAT OF CONVECTION BEGINNING BY SUNDAY
AFTERNOON.  AFTER THAT POINT...TIMING AND PLACEMENT OF TSRA CHANCES
BECOMES QUITE DIFFICULT AS MEDIUM RANGE MODELS DEPART FROM ONE
ANOTHER.  HOWEVER...IT DOES APPEAR THAT MUCH MORE SUMMER LIKE
TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN STORE WITH READINGS AT OR ABOVE NORMAL FOR
NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...18/00Z
MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS IN PLACE OVER IOWA.  SEVERAL LINES OF
STORMS APPROACHING THE TAF SITES.  I EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS IN THE WRN
TAF LOCATIONS AROUND 06Z SPREADING SE AFT 08Z THROUGH THURSDAY
MORNING.  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.

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