SMALLWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this tornado warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Des Moines, IA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at Jun 17, 3:15 PM CDT, 1 hour 15 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 17, 3:15 PM CDT, 1 hour 15 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA 315 PM CDT THU JUN 17 2010 .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/... STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW WITH ABUNDANT MOISTURE CONTINUES TO SURGE INTO THE STATE THIS AFTERNOON AHEAD OF STRONG SHORTWAVE AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT EJECTING ACROSS THE CENTRAL TO NORTHERN PLAINS. SEVERAL CONCERNS RELATED TO SEVERE WEATHER AND HYDROLOGY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. MODELS IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING...WITH THE NAM A LITTLE MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH THE QPF...BUT OVERALL WENT WITH THE A BLEND OF GFS/NAM/SREF. INITIATION EXPECTED BETWEEN 21 TO 00Z ACROSS NORTHWEST IOWA WITH A PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH OR POSSIBLY WEAK DRY LINE SURGING INTO EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA AND NORTHEAST NEBRASKA. SURFACE DEW POINTS RANGE IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF THE STATE. UNCAPPED LARGE AREA OF MUCAPE VALUES RANGING FROM 1500 TO NEAR OVER 4000 J/KG...WITH 0-3 KM CAPE RANGING 50-200 J/KG ACCORDING TO THE SREF. IMPRESSIVE SHEAR VALUES...0-6KM BULK SHEAR 30-45KTS...0-1KM SHEAR RANGING AROUND 25 KTS. THIS COMBINED WITH HIGH HELICITY VALUES AND LCL HEIGHTS AROUND 2000 FEET WILL LEAD TO THE POTENTIAL FOR TORNADIC SUPERCELLS WITH INITIAL DEVELOPMENT LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING. LATER TONIGHT...WITH LLJ DEVELOPING AND COLD FRONT ENTERING THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE STATE...EXPECTING MERGING INTO MORE OF A LINEAR STORM TYPE. CORFIDI VECTORS HAVE STORMS DEVELOPING SOUTH AND EAST...AND STORM MOTION VECTORS COINCIDE WITH THE SOUTHEAST MOVEMENT. EXPECTING DAMAGING WINDS TO BE THE MAIN THREAT LATER THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS MCS MAINTENANCE PROBABILITY OVER 80 PERCENT BY TONIGHT. PW RANGE IN THE 1 TO 2 INCHES TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTH WHERE THINKING THE MCS WILL PROPAGATE ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA. WITH 3HR-FFG RANGING UNDER 2INCHES OVER MUCH OF THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA...ISSUED FFA THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY AS IT WILL NOT TAKE MUCH TO GET SOME FLOODING ISSUES OVER THE SOUTH. .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... VERY ACTIVE PATTERN THROUGHOUT DAYS 2-7. STRONG UPPER TROUGH MOVING ENE INTO SRN CANADA TONIGHT AND FRIDAY PUSHING SYNOPTIC FRONTAL BOUNDARY INTO NRN PLAINS AND ACROSS IA. UPPER PATTERN BECOMES ALMOST ZONAL LATE THIS WEEKEND OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST NORTH OF LARGE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHERN CONUS. ATMOSPHERE SHOULD RECOVER QUICKLY ON FRIDAY IN THE WAKE OF TONIGHT/S THUNDERSTORMS SETTING UP ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS FOR FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. IF THE FRONT PUSHES SOUTH OF IA FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...THERE MIGHT BE A 18-24 HOUR BREAK IN THE PRECIPITATION. MOISTURE AND THE BOUNDARY RETURN SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. SEE NO REASON WHY A MCS WILL NOT DEVELOP NEAR WRN IA OR POINTS WEST SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING AND THEN MOVE EAST ACROSS IA LATE SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. AFTER THAT...OVERALL PATTERN REMAINS THE SAME BUT THE DETAILS BECOME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT DUE TO ALL OF THE CONVECTION. FORECASTED PERSISTENCE WITH SLIGHTLY HIGHER PCPN PROBABILITIES AT NIGHT VS DAY. TEMPERATURES NOT A HUGE CONCERN. WENT A LITTLE COOLER SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. SATURDAY SINCE IA SHOULD BE NORTH OF THE FRONT AND SUNDAY DUE TO CLOUDS AND PCPN. WILL ISSUE ESF FOR ALL OF THE FORECAST RAIN AND POTENTIAL FLOOD/FLASH FLOOD ISSUES. && .AVIATION... 17/18Z...SIGNIFICANT WEATHER ANTICIPATED LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT AHEAD OF A STRONG SHORTWAVE AND SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. REAL CONCERN FOR STRONG THUNDERSTORMS AFFECTING ALL TAF SITES AS EARLY AS 21Z THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE NORTH AND RAPIDLY REDUCING CONDITIONS TO IFR/MVFR WITHIN THE STRONGEST STORMS. 15Z HRRR AND 12Z 4KM WRF HAVE STORMS DEVELOPING PAST 20Z NEAR FOD/MCW AREAS. MENTIONED THE HEAVY TSTM AND STRONG WINDS WITH TEMPO GROUP FOR FOD AS MORE CONFIDENT IN TIMING OF DEVELOPMENT THAN WITH MCW/ALO. MVFR CIGS/VIS CONDITIONS CONTINUE OVERNIGHT ACROSS DSM/OTM WITH MCS DRIFTING SOUTHWARD LATE THIS EVENING. && .DMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
