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.
