AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA 650 PM CDT TUE MAR 22 2011 .UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION... .SHORT TERM /THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT/... THREAT FOR SEVERE WX CONTINUES FOR MID TO LATE AFTERNOON THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. UPPER LEVEL CLOSED LOW IS OVER WYOMING AND MONTANA THIS AFTERNOON WITH A STRONG IMPULSE ROTATING THROUGH CNTRL KANSAS/NEBRASKA AND TOWARDS IA ALONG STRONG SW FLOW. SFC LOW PRESSURE IS CENTERED OVER EAST CNTRL NEBRASKA WITH WARM FRONT EXTENDING THE SW THIRD OF IA AND A DRY LINE HAS REACHED CNTRL KS. LARGE SCALE FEATURES ARE CONSISTENT WITH PAST LOW TOPPED SUPERCELL OUTBREAKS THAT HAVE OCCURRED IN LATE MARCH THROUGH EARLY APRIL ACROSS IOWA. CLOUD COVER ACROSS THE WARM SECTOR NOT MUCH OF A CONCERN AT THE MOMENT WITH BKN MVFR CIGS COMMON 1 TO 3 HOURS PRIOR SIGNIFICANT LOW TOPPED SUPERCELL EVENTS. OVERALL...WARM FRONT SHOULD ADVANCE A LITTLE FARTHER NORTH. STORMS SHOULD INITIATE OVER SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA BY MID THIS AFTERNOON THEN RAPIDLY ADVANCE NORTHEAST INTO SW IA AND CNTRL IA BY LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. 0-1KM EFFECTIVE SHEAR PROFILES OF 250-300 M2/S2 ARE SIMILAR WITH IA LOW TOPPED TORNADIC EVENTS FROM 2004-2010 OF 340 M2/S2. PRIMARY QUESTION IS SFC DEWPOINTS WHICH ARE IN THE MID TO UPPER 50S WITH NOTHING HIGHER TO ADVECT IN WITH THIS EVENT. THAT SAID...IF SFC BASED CONVECTION DOES INITIATE...THE LOW LEVEL SHEAR PROFILES WILL TAKE OVER AND SHOULD HAVE SEVERAL ROTATING STORMS AND A FEW TORNADOES...POSSIBLY THAT COULD BECOME STRONG. CONSIDERING THE STRONG LOW LEVEL SHEAR...TORNADIC THREAT WILL CONTINUE AFTER SUNSET. THE ACTIVITY WILL BE MOSTLY OUT OF THE AREA BY 04Z. .LONG TERM... FAIRLY ACTIVE PATTERN LOOKS TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK AND INTO THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEKEND. MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT THROUGH FRIDAY...BEFORE VERY NOTICEABLE DISCREPANCIES SHOW UP DURING THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. LEANED TOWARD A BLEND OF ECMWF/GFS DURING THE EXTENDED. WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...CURRENT SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WILL QUICKLY PUSH OUT OF THE STATE BY WEDNESDAY MORNING...WITH ANOTHER UPPER LOW PUSHING ACROSS SOUTHERN MN/NORTHERN IA DURING THE DAY TOMORROW. HAVE CHANCES OF RAIN ACROSS NORTHERN IOWA THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY WEDNESDAY...BEFORE THE COLDER TEMPS FILTER INTO THE STATE TOMORROW NIGHT WHERE SHOULD SEE A BETTER SHOT OF LIGHT SNOW ACROSS NORTHERN IOWA. NOT ANTICIPATING MUCH SNOW ACCUMULATION WITH THIS SYSTEM. A SECOND SHORTWAVE COMBINED WITH SOME DECENT ISENTROPIC LIFT MOVES INTO THE STATE EARLY FRIDAY. BEST MOISTURE AVAILABLE OVER SOUTHERN IOWA WHERE HAVE THE HIGHEST POPS GOING DURING THE DAY FRIDAY. BRIEF PERIOD OF LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATION BUT WITH TEMPS WARMING ABOVE FREEZING DURING THE DAY FRIDAY...NOT EXPECTING MUCH TO REMAIN ON GROUND. SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...WENT A BIT DRIER SATURDAY AS ECMWF AND EVEN GFS HAS BACKED OFF QUITE A BIT FROM PREVIOUS RUNS WRT TO QPF SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. SOUNDINGS ARE DRY AND NOT MUCH LIFT AS WELL DURING THE AFOREMENTIONED TIME FRAME...SO COMPLETELY TOOK OUT POPS SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. NEXT SYSTEM LOOKS TO AFFECT THE FORECAST AREA LATE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. THE 12Z ECMWF IS MORE IN LINE WITH THE 12Z GFS WHICH PLACES THE SURFACE LOW FURTHER SOUTH INTO MISSOURI AND LOW CONFIDENCE AT THIS TIME WITH POPS GOING ON TUESDAY. && .AVIATION...23/00Z STRONG SURFACE LOW OVER SW IA WITH A WARM FRONT JUST SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE 80 CORRIDOR AT 23Z WILL SHIFT EAST THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE EVENING AND WILL BE EAST OF KOTM BY 08Z. EXPECT STRONG THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS KDSM AND KOTM THROUGH 06Z. NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT LIFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH 12Z AND PERHAPS LONGER. AS COLD AIR MOVES IN BEHIND THIS LOW AFT 23/16Z NORTH/NORTHWEST WIND WILL INCREASE TO 15-30KT WITH STRONGER GUSTS AT TIMES. CONDITIONS SHOULD BECOME MVFR OR BETTER AFTER 21Z. && .DMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && SHORT TERM...DONAVON LONG TERM...PODRAZIK AVIATION...FAB
