AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
339 AM CDT THU JUL 22 2010

.DISCUSSION /TODAY THROUGH MONDAY/...ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN
CONTINUES ACROSS THE REGION AS WESTERLY FLOW PERSISTS THROUGH
FRIDAY BEFORE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION. LEANED
TOWARDS A GFS SOLUTION OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS IT HAS BEEN THE
MOST CONSISTENT THIS WEEK WITH ONGOING MCS AND COLD FRONTAL
PASSAGE FRIDAY NIGHT.

TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING...WARM FRONT LOOKS TO BULGE NORTHWARD
DURING THE AFTERNOON AS SHORTWAVE PUSHES EASTWARD ACROSS NORTHERN
IOWA/SOUTHERN MINNESOTA. ONGOING MCS WILL MEANDER EASTWARD WITH
SHORTWAVE AND IS LIKELY TO EXIT THE CWA BY AROUND 15Z...AT LEAST
THE HEAVIEST RAIN. LATEST RUNS OF THE HRRR AND WRF HAVE THIS
TREND FORECAST AND MUCH OF THE CWA TODAY WILL SEE SOME STRONG WAA
DEVELOP DURING THE AFTERNOON BEHIND THE MCS. WENT AHEAD AND ISSUED
HEAT ADVISORY ACROSS THE SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON WITH DEW POINTS IN
THE MID 70S AND TEMPERATURES RISING INTO THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 90S.
DEPENDING ON HOW QUICKLY THIS MCS EXITS EASTWARD...AIR MASS WILL
DESTABILIZE DURING THE AFTERNOON ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTH.
HIGHEST MU CAPE VALUES INCREASE TO 3500-5000 J/KG BY 00Z FRIDAY AND
SHEAR VALUES LOOK DECENT BUT ARE MAINLY UNIDIRECTIONAL ACROSS THE
CWA. THERE IS SOME VEERING IN THE LOWER LEVELS BY THIS AFTERNOON.
MODERATELY STRONG CAP STAYS IN PLACE ACROSS MUCH OF CWA THROUGH
00Z FRIDAY...SO NOT ANTICIPATING STORMS TO RE-DEVELOP UNTIL THIS
EVENING. HOWEVER...MAY HAVE SOME OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES HANGING AROUND
ACROSS NORTHERN IOWA AND MAY SPARK ADDITIONAL STORMS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON...SO KEPT WITH MENTION OF THUNDER ACROSS THE NORTH PAST
18Z.

THE BOUNDARY LAYS UP ALONG THE NORTHERN BORDER TONIGHT AND A PAIR
OF SHORTWAVES EJECTING OUT OF THE ROCKIES...EXPECTING ANOTHER MCS
TO DEVELOP IN THE SD/NE AREA AND RIDE EASTWARD ALONG THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY INTO NORTHERN IOWA OVERNIGHT TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING.
HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL AGAIN WITH PW VALUES IN THE 1.5-2 INCH RANGE
BUT BUFR SOUNDINGS NOT AS IMPRESSIVE WITH THE DEEP SATURATED
COLUMN THEY HAVE BEEN SUGGESTING WITH THIS CURRENT MCS. AS A
RESULT...EXTENDED FFA ACROSS THE NORTH THROUGH MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.
ALSO...HAVE TO BELIEVE A DAMAGING WIND AND MAYBE HAIL THREAT
OVERNIGHT TONIGHT WITH STRONG LLJ IN PLACE AND SOME DRIER AIR
AVAILABLE. MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE MODERATELY STEEP AND GOOD
CONVERGENCE ACROSS CENTRAL TO NORTHERN IOWA TONIGHT. AFTER ALL
THAT...INCREASED POPS THIS EVENING OVER CENTRAL TO NORTHERN
SECTIONS OF THE CWA.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING...COLD FRONT AND UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE PUSH ACROSS THE REGION AND WILL
PROVIDE ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS DURING THIS TIME FRAME. MODELS
ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT WITH STORMS DEVELOPING OUT AHEAD OF FRONT
FRIDAY AFTERNOON. INCREASED POPS SLIGHTLY ACROSS THE NORTH DURING
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS INTO SATURDAY MORNING. COLD FRONT SHOULD CLEAR
THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE STATE BY EARLY SATURDAY MORNING AND
WILL DIMINISH ANY THUNDERSTORM CHANCES PAST 12Z SATURDAY.

SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY...SURFACE HIGH BUILDS INTO THE
REGION DURING THE BULK OF THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
GFS DOES KEEP BOUNDARY OVER NORTHERN IOWA AND HAS HINTED ON A
VORT MAX AFFECTING SOUTHERN IOWA BY MONDAY MORNING. KEPT WITH DRY
FORECAST ATTM AS THIS WAS FIRST MENTION OF IT BY GFS AND ECMWF
KEEPS THINGS DRY THROUGH MONDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...22/06Z
APPEARS LIKELY TO MCS WILL MOVE ACRS THE NORTHERN HALF OF IA
OVERNIGHT WITH HEAVY RAINFALL.  MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS WILL BECOME
LIKELY WITH THE STORMS AS CIGS AND VSBYS BECOME RESTRICTED.  IN
SOUTHERN IA...KDSM AND KOTM MORE LIKELY TO STAY VFR AS BULK OF
SYSTEM REMAINS TO THE NORTH.  THUNDERSTORMS ACTIVITY EXPECTED TO
GRADUALLY DIMINISH ON THURSDAY MORNING WITH VFR CONDITIONS RETURNING
FOR MOST AREAS BY AFTERNOON.  WINDS FROM THE SOUTHEAST TO SOUTH WILL
BE EXPECTED AS MUCH OF THE STATE WILL BE IN THE WARM SECTOR.

&&
