AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
1238 PM CDT SUN MAY 29 2011

...UPDATED FOR 18Z AVIATION DISCUSSION...

.SHORT TERM /TODAY/...
NORTHWARD ADVANCING WARM FRONT AND ASSOCIATED MOISTURE ADVECTION
WILL BE MAIN CONCERN FOR WEATHER TODAY. CURRENTLY...INSTABILITY AXIS
JUST SOUTH OF IA AND POISED TO MOVE NORTHWARD DURING THE DAY AS WARM
FRONT LIFTS INTO THE STATE. ALREADY CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED ALONG
THE I-70 CORRIDOR IN MISSOURI WHERE DEEP MOISTURE CONVERGENCE IS
OCCURRING FED BY A 50KT LLJ. THIS ELEVATED CONVECTION SHOULD
CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTHEAST EARLY THIS MORNING CROSSING INTO IA BY
SUNRISE. EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR IS SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT ORGANIZED
UPDRAFTS WHICH WILL PRODUCE A LARGE HAIL THREAT FROM THESE STORMS AS
THEY MOVE INTO SOUTHERN IA THIS MORNING. ANOTHER AREA OF PCPN IS SET
TO AFFECT NORTHERN AREAS OF THE CWA THIS MORNING AS A SHORTWAVE
MOVES QUICKLY THROUGH NEBRASKA AND INTO NORTHERN IA. THIS PCPN WILL
LACK THE INSTABILITY OF THE PCPN FARTHER SOUTH AND HAVE LIMITED
WORDING TO SHOWERS AND ISOLD THUNDERSTORMS AND DONT ANTICIPATE A
SEVERE THREAT FROM THIS PCPN. BY AFTERNOON HOWEVER...THE WARM FRONT
WILL PUSH INTO SOUTHERN IOWA WITH BEST THETA-E ADVECTION SHIFTING
INTO NORTHERN IA AND SOUTHERN MN. AMPLE INSTABILITY WILL EXIST AHEAD
OF AN ELEVATED MIXED LAYER WHICH WILL BE APPROACHING FROM THE
SOUTHWEST. THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY FORM NORTH OF THE FRONT ON EDGE
OF CAP AND SOME SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH LARGE HAIL ONCE
AGAIN A BIG THREAT. FARTHER SOUTH...THE EML SHOULD EFFECTIVELY CAP
THE ATMOSPHERE SOUTH OF I-80 WITH TEMPERATURES WARMING QUICKLY INTO
THE 80S. IN FACT...CURRENT FORECAST HIGHS MAY NEED TO BE REVISED
UPWARDS SHOULD THE SUN COME OUT EARLIER THAN ANTICIPATED.

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
LITTLE CHANGE IN LONG TERM FORECAST THINKING FROM LAST NIGHT. WARM
FRONT DISCUSSED IN SHORT TERM SECTION ABOVE WILL LIFT NORTHWARD
ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES THIS EVENING AND EARLY
TONIGHT...LYING ACROSS SOUTHERN MINNESOTA BY MONDAY MORNING. THERE
WILL BE A LINGERING SEVERE WEATHER THREAT IN OUR FAR NORTH THIS
EVENING...WITH LARGE HAIL THE PRIMARY THREAT...BEFORE THE STORMS
MOVE NORTHWARD OUT OF THE AREA AND HAVE UPDATED POP TRENDS TONIGHT
TO REFLECT THIS.

ON MONDAY...MEMORIAL DAY...THE APPROACHING LOW TO OUR WEST WILL
TIGHTEN THE PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS IOWA RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANTLY
STRONGER SOUTHERLY BREEZES AND A WIND ADVISORY MAY BE
WARRANTED...THIS WILL BE EXAMINED CLOSELY BY SUBSEQUENT SHIFTS. A
SIGNIFICANT CAPPING INVERSION WILL INHIBIT ANY PRECIPITATION...AND
STRONG WARM AIR ADVECTION AND MIXING WILL PROMOTE VERY WARM
TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 80S TO LOWER 90S. ANYONE PLANNING OUTDOOR
ACTIVITIES SHOULD THUS EXPECT A HOT AND WINDY BUT DRY DAY ACROSS THE
AREA.

ON LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING THE LARGE LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM TO OUR NORTHWEST WILL PIVOT RAPIDLY FROM EASTERN MONTANA UP
INTO CANADA...DRAGGING A TRAILING TROUGH ACROSS IOWA LIKELY
GENERATING A QUICK SHOT OF SHOWERS AND STORMS ACROSS THE CWA MAINLY
LATE MONDAY NIGHT. THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT APPEARS LIMITED TO OUR
FAR NORTHWESTERN AREAS AND MORE UP INTO SIOUXLAND AS THE BEST
FORCING AND DYNAMICS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PARENT SHORTWAVE WILL BE
QUICKLY MOVING UP ACROSS MINNESOTA AND THE EASTERN DAKOTAS. COVERAGE
OF PRECIP IS DIFFICULT TO PREDICT DURING THIS TIME AS WE SHOULD SEE
GOOD CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT BUT DEEPER FORCING WILL REALLY BE
PETERING OUT AS THE TROUGH PROGRESSES EASTWARD ACROSS OUR AREA. HAVE
CONTINUED LIKELY POPS FROM 06-12Z BUT AM WONDERING IF THIS MAY BE
OVERDONE MAINLY ACROSS OUR EAST AND SOUTHEAST.

FROM TUESDAY THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK THINGS LOOK RELATIVELY
QUIET...DRY...AND MILD BENEATH A DEEP LAYER RIDGE WITH ONE EXCEPTION
- SOME MODEL RUNS ARE STILL GENERATING A FAIRLY SUBTLE 500 MB
SHORTWAVE THAT RIDES THROUGH AND OVER THE TOP OF THE RIDGE NEAR OUR
AREA AROUND MIDWEEK...GENERATING QPFS FROM LATE WEDNESDAY INTO
THURSDAY. THE LACK OF CONSISTENCY IN FORECAST SOLUTIONS OF THIS
FEATURE PRECLUDES GOING HIGHER THAN LOW TO MID-CHANCE POPS AT THIS
TIME...HOWEVER THIS SCENARIO DOES SEEM QUITE REASONABLE AND IF THE
WAVE DOES CROSS OVER OUR AREA WE WOULD LIKELY SEE A NEARLY
STATIONARY BOUNDARY SET UP WITH PLENTY OF JUICE SO STORMS WOULD BE
LIKELY AT THAT POINT. WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS POSSIBILITY
OVER THE COMING DAYS.

&&

.AVIATION...29/12Z
WARM FRONT OVER NRN MISSOURI EARLY THIS AFTERNOON WILL LIFT NORTH
TODAY AND PASS THROUGH KDSM AND KOTM BY LATE AFTERNOON AND THROUGH
THE OTHER SITES THIS EVENING. LOW MVFR TO IFR STRATUS AND FOG IS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE NORTHERN SITES THIS AFTERNOON AHEAD OF
THE BOUNDARY AND WILL REMAIN IN PLACE UNTIL THE FRONTAL PASSAGE.
PRIMARILY VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AFTER FRONTAL PASSAGE THROUGH
SOME MVFR VSBYS MAY LINGER BEFORE 13Z. GUSTY SOUTH WINDS WILL
DEVELOP MONDAY MORNING WITH GUSTS APPROACHING 35 KTS TOWARD 18Z.
