River Flood Warning 137, NWS Des Moines, IA

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
635 PM CDT FRI JUN 25 2010

.SHORT TERM /TODAY/...
FORECAST FOR TONIGHT IS HEAVILY DICTATED BY CONVECTIVE EVOLUTION OF
THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP TO OUR NORTH LATER THIS AFTERNOON.
A WEAK SURFACE LOW IS DRIFTING SLOWLY EASTWARD BETWEEN PIERRE AND
ABERDEEN...WITH A STATIONARY SURFACE BOUNDARY EXTENDING ENE ACROSS
SOUTHERN/CENTRAL MN OVER INTO NW WISC. A MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE IS
APPROACHING THESE AREAS FROM THE WEST WHILE IN THE LOWER LEVELS
SOUTHERLY FLOW IS LEADING TO RAPID DESTABILIZATION ACROSS THE REGION
SOUTH OF THE AFOREMENTIONED BOUNDARY. 70S SFC DEWPTS HAVE SURGED
FROM SOUTHERN KS EARLIER THIS MORNING INTO THE IA/SDAK/MN REGION AS
OF EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...STRONG CAPPING REMAINS IN PLACE
ACROSS OUR AREA WITH CU FIELD/STORM DEVELOPMENT CURRENTLY LIMITED TO
AREAS NEAR THE BOUNDARY WELL TO OUR NORTH. EXPECT THAT LATER THIS
AFTERNOON AS THE SHORTWAVE APPROACHES THE CAP WILL WEAKEN AND STORMS
WILL DEVELOP RAPIDLY FROM EASTERN SDAK INTO MN. INITIALLY THIS
CONVECTION SHOULD MOVE EAST OR ESE IN THE MEAN FLOW BUT THEN EXPECT
IT WILL TURN MORE SE TOWARD THE GREATER INSTABILITY THIS EVENING
INTO TONIGHT. SPC IS MAINTAINING A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER
ACROSS ABOUT OUR NORTHERN HALF WITH A MODERATE RISK IN OUR FAR
NORTHERN TIER OR TWO OF COUNTIES. HAVE UPDATED POPS TONIGHT TO
REFLECT THINKING ABOVE AND HAVE INCLUDED SEVERE WORDING ROUGHLY
ALONG/NORTH OF HWY 20 THIS EVENING AS FURTHER SOUTH THE POTENTIAL
APPEARS LIMITED BY WEAKER BULK SHEAR AND A LIKELY LATER ARRIVAL
TIME. THERE IS STILL CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY REGARDING HOW FAR
SOUTH THE STORMS WILL PENETRATE OUR AREA...BUT IT APPEARS
INCREASINGLY LIKELY THAT AREAS FROM AROUND CLARION TO MARSHALLTOWN
TO TAMA COULD SEE SOME STORMS IF THEY DO INDEED MAKE THAT TURN TO
THE SOUTHEAST. TIMING OF THE STORMS IS ALSO DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE
AT THIS TIME BUT MOST LIKELY WINDOW APPEARS TO BE FROM AROUND 00Z IN
OUR FAR N/NW TO AROUND 06Z IN OUR E/NE. OTHER THAN CONVECTIVE
ELEMENTS FEW CHANGES MADE TO GRIDS/FORECAST FOR TONIGHT.

.LONG TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SHORT TERM HRRR/WRF/NAM SUGGEST QUIET SATURDAY MORNING BEHIND
CONVECTIVE SYSTEM TONIGHT AND HAVE KEPT POPS NIL BEFORE MIDDAY.
WILL SEE INSTABILITY INCREASE RAPIDLY BY AFTERNOON WITH DEEP LAYER
SHEAR BEST IN NORTHERN IA CLOSEST TO THE WESTERLIES.  ANTICIPATE
INITIAL DEVELOPMENT NEAR THE IA/MN BORDER BY LATE AFTERNOON WITH ALL
MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE AT THAT TIME. SOME CONCERN WITH
HYDRO AS WELL AS FORCING WILL CONTINUE IN THAT AREA THROUGH THE
NIGHT WITH MODERATE LOW LEVEL FLOW POINTING INTO THE STATE.  NOT
UNTIL THE FRONT/SHORT WAVE ARRIVE EARLY SUNDAY MORNING WILL THE PCPN
MOVE IN BODY ACRS THE STATE AND OUT OF IA ON SUNDAY. THEREAFTER...
LARGE EASTERN TROF DEVELOPS WITH QUIET WEATHER PERSISTING THROUGH
MUCH OF THE WORK WEEK.  APPEARS THAT 850MB FLOW WILL BE FROM THE
NORTHEAST WITH RELATIVELY COOL TEMPERATURES INTO NEXT WEEK ALONG
WITH THE CALM WEATHER.  NOT UNTIL LATE IN THE WEEK AND THE 4TH OF
JULY WEEKEND DOES IT APPEAR THAT IA WILL HAVE CHANCES OF PCPN.
