AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
651 PM CDT TUE JUN 22 2010

...UPDATED FOR 00Z AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...
COMPLEX FORECAST FOR TONIGHT...WITH POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE THROUGH THE
EVENING HOURS AND POSSIBLY OVERNIGHT.  HEAVY RAINFALL ALSO LIKELY
FROM THE SYSTEM EJECTING OUT OF COLORADO LATE THIS AFTERNOON DUE TO
STRONG UPPER LEVEL WINDS AND FORCING...COMBINED WITH MUCH STRONGER
LL JET TONIGHT INCREASING TO 45 TO 50 KTS INTO THE WARM FRONTAL
BOUNDARY AFT 06Z. DAYTIME CONVECTION HAS BEEN MUTED SO FAR DUE TO
VARIOUS OUTFLOWS AND OLD MCS CONTAMINATION.  SFC MAPS SHOW A LOT OF
FEATURES WITH COLD FRONT CROSSING NORTHERN PLAINS HEADING
SOUTHEAST...WEAK LOW NEAR OMA WITH WARM FRONT NOW LIFTING INTO
CENTRAL IA...MAIN SFC SHORT WAVE OVER EASTERN COLORADO WHICH IS
EXPECTED TO LIFT NORTH LATER TONIGHT.  MOISTURE POOL PLAGUING MID
SECTIONS PAST 2 WEEKS REMAINS INTACT AND WILL STRONGLY FEED SYSTEM
TONIGHT.  LATE AFTERNOON VISSAT SHOWS CU POOLING IN SOUTHEAST
NEBRASKA WITH H700 FLOW AND BOUNDARIES FAVORING AN EASTWARD
TRANSLATION INTO IOWA THIS EVENING. AS SUCH...EVENING HOURS WOULD
FAVOR SOME SEVERE ALONG WITH HEAVY RAINFALL. WITH A NORTHEAST
TRANSLATION OF WARM FRONT TONIGHT...BEST MOISTURE TRANSPORT WILL
FOCUS ALONG AND NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY WITH HEAVY RAINFALL AXIS
SHIFTING OVER CENTRAL TO NORTHEAST SECTIONS OF FORECAST AREA BETWEEN
I80 AND HIGHWAY 18. MOST OF THE SOUTH CANNOT TAKE ANY ADDITIONAL
HEAVY RAINFALL...NW CAN FOR NOW...AND THE REST OF THE FORECAST AREA
IS BETWEEN 1 AND 2 INCHES PER HOUR FOR FFG. HAVE INCLUDED THE ENTIRE
FORECAST AREA IN WATCH...DUE TO COMBINATION OF HEAVY RAINFALL
POTENTIAL NORTH...AND THE PROBLEMS AREAS OVER THE SOUTH THAT CANNOT
TAKE ANY MORE RAIN FOR NOW.  FEEL THAT THE AXIS OF HEAVY RAINFALL
WILL LINE UP MAINLY BETWEEN I80 AND 18...BUT MCS MAY OUTFLOW FARTHER
SOUTH.  ANOTHER COMPLICATING FACTOR IS WHETHER A SEVERE WIND EVENT
DEVELOPS LATE TNT. BEST INSTABILITY WILL BE ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE
FRONT...FAVORING CENTRAL SECTIONS. WITH H500 JET AND H850 LOW LEVEL
JET LATE TONIGHT...AMOUNTS OF 3 TO 5 INCHES MAY OCCUR IN THE AXIS OF
HEAVIEST RAINFALL...POTENTIALLY MORE IF BACK BUILDING. CORFIDI
VECTOR VERY WEAK OVER CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN IOWA LATER TONIGHT
THROUGH 12Z.

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
CDFNT WL MAKE ITS WAY THRU THE CWA WED AND WILL BRING THE SVR THREAT
EWD WITH IT.  ONGOING TSRA WILL BE ACTIVE IN THE ERN CWA WITH IPVG
CONDS FM THE WEST DURG THE DAY.  FEEL MOST OF THE PCPN WILL BE OUT
OF THE AREA BY NOON OR SO.  ONLY EXCEPTION WILL BE THE FAR SE.  A
BRIEF BREAK IN THE ACTION FOR WED NIGHT THRU FRI AS HI PRES BLDS
INTO THE STATE.  HI PRES WL MOV OF WITH WAA SETTING IN BY SAT NGT
INTO SUN AND WILL UP POPS FOR THAT TIME FRAME.  EXPECT TO SEE THE
RESUMPTION OF MCS ACTVTY FOR LATER SAT NGT INTO SUN.  SHOULD SEE A
COUPLE DRY DAYS HEADING INTO THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK.  ECMWF AND
GFS BOTH SUGGEST THE UPR RDG RETROGRADING TO THE W OF IA INTO THE
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.  PREFER THE SOLNS OF PUSHING THE RDG EWD
QUICKER LIKE THE ECMWF DOES BASED ON THE PRESSENT STATE OF
MJO...SUCH THAT IT IS...AND THE -PNA THAT HAS BEEN SO PERSISTENT OF
LATE AND WILL CONTINUE INTO WK 2.

&&

.AVIATION...
23/00Z...THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO AFFECT IOWA THIS TONIGHT AND
INTO WED. STORMS MOVING INTO WEST CENTRAL IOWA NOW WILL BE IN KDSM
VICINITY NEXT FEW HOURS. THUNDERSTORM THREAT WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT
AND SOME SHOULD PRODUCE STRONG GUSTY WINDS. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE
THROUGH IOWA ON WEDNESDAY. EXPECT WINDS TO GRADUALLY VEER FROM
SOUTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST THEN BECOME NORTHWEST WITH FROPA. A FEW SCT
STORMS ARE POSSIBLE MAINLY NEAR KALO AND KOTM ARE POSSIBLE WED AFT.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
BOTH SHORT-TERM FLASH FLOODING AND LONGER-TERM RIVER FLOODING ARE
ONGOING NOW...AND WILL REMAIN THREATS OVER AT LEAST THE NEXT COUPLE
DAYS. CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECASTS OF FLASH FLOODING AND RIVER
FLOODING REMAINS LOWER THAN AVERAGE...DUE TO UNCERTAINTY IN AMOUNTS
AND LOCATION OF THE QPF THROUGH TONIGHT.

PRESENT QPF CALLS FOR HEAVY RAINFALL TONIGHT ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE
NORTHERN HALF OF OUR CWA. LOOKING ON THE POSITIVE SIDE...THE
NORTHERN HALF OF OUR CWA IS LESS PRONE TO FLASH FLOODING AS IT HAS
SEEN RELATIVELY LOW QPE OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS. IN CONTRAST...THE
SOUTHERN HALF OF OUR CWA IS MUCH MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO FLASH FLOODING
BECAUSE IT HAS SEEN A LOT OF RAINFALL RECENTLY. THE 72-HR Q2
RADAR-ONLY QPE DATA SHOWS LESS THAN 1 IN HAS FALLEN N AND NE OF A
LINE THROUGH ALGONA...DES MOINES AND MONTEZUMA. QPE OF AT LEAST 1.5
TO 2 IN HAS FALLEN SOUTH OF A LINE THROUGH SAC CITY...DES MOINES AND
OSKALOOSA. CPC SOIL MOISTURE RANKING PERCENTILES SHOW THAT OUR
ENTIRE CWA IS ABOVE NORMAL...WITH SOIL WETNESS INCREASING SOUTHWARD.
THE SOUTHERN THIRD OF OUR CWA IS AT THE 95TH TO 99TH PERCENTILES.

ONE CONCERN IS THAT THE MODELS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO LIFT THE SURFACE
BOUNDARY FARTHER NORTH THAN REALITY OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS. AS A
RESULT...THE HEAVY RAINFALL HAS TENDED TO OCCUR FARTHER SOUTH THAN
THE MODELS INDICATE. IF THIS DOES OCCUR THEN TONIGHT/S HEAVY
RAINFALL MAY BE DISPLACED SOUTH...AND CLOSER TO LOCATIONS WHICH ARE
MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO SIGNIFICANT RUNOFF.

FOR LOCATIONS WHERE RIVER FLOOD WARNINGS ARE ALREADY IN
EFFECT...THOSE FLOOD WARNINGS WERE CONTINUED AND INCLUDED PROLONGED
FLOODING DUE TO THE QPF. THE NEW RIVER FORECAST GUIDANCE FOR SEVERAL
OTHER LOCATIONS CALLED FOR NEW FLOODING. AT MOST OF THOSE LOCATIONS
WE EITHER LOWERED THE FORECAST CRESTS AND/OR ISSUED A HYDROLOGIC
OUTLOOK INSTEAD OF A FLOOD WARNING...TO CALL ATTENTION TO THE
UNCERTAINTY IN THE FORECAST.
