THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES FOR

* PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL IOWA AND SOUTHEAST IOWA...INCLUDING 
  THE FOLLOWING AREAS...IN SOUTH CENTRAL IOWA...APPANOOSE... 
  MAHASKA AND MONROE. IN SOUTHEAST IOWA...DAVIS AND WAPELLO. 

* UNTIL 9 AM CDT THIS MORNING

* SLOW MOVING AND THUNDERSTORMS...SOME WITH HEAVY RAIN...ARE
  POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. ALTHOUGH THE FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL
  IS NOW LOWER THAN IT WAS EARLIER...IT STILL REMAINS A THREAT.
  ANY STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO PRODUCE
  RAINFALL AMOUNTS AS HIGH AS 1 TO 2 INCHES PER HOUR...AND PERSIST
  FOR A FEW HOURS. FLASH FLOODING MAY THEN OCCUR.

* IF FLASH FLOODING DOES OCCUR...IT WILL BE RELATIVELY ISOLATED.
  BE ESPECIALLY CAREFUL WHEN DRIVING DURING THE NIGHTTIME
  HOURS...AS IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO SEE THE FLOODING.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP THAT LEAD
TO FLASH FLOODING. FLASH FLOODING IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

YOU SHOULD MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND BE PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION
SHOULD FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS BE ISSUED.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
640 PM CDT THU MAY 3 2012

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...
COMPLEX CONVECTIVE FORECAST FOR LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY
TONIGHT. STORMS CURRENTLY FIRING ACROSS OUR NORTHERN TWO TIERS ARE
ANCHORED TO A NEARLY STATIONARY BOUNDARY AND ARE THERMODYNAMICALLY
DRIVEN...THESE SHOULD DEVELOP A BIT FURTHER EAST TOWARD MASON CITY
AND WATERLOO THEN DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET AS WE LOSE OUR HEATING.
MEANWHILE A BOUNDARY ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI SHOULD PROVIDE A FOCUS
FOR MORE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT LATER THIS AFTERNOON OR
EVENING...WITH ANY RESULTING STORMS MOVING EAST NORTHEAST AND
POSSIBLY CLIPPING OUR SOUTHERN AND SOUTHEASTERN COUNTIES. AFTER
AROUND MIDNIGHT EXPECT BOTH AREAS TO BE QUIETER...AND HAVE TAPERED
OFF POPS SUBSTANTIALLY LATER TONIGHT. OTHERWISE EXPECT LIGHT WINDS
AND CONTINUED MILD AND HUMID CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT. THERE IS SOME
POTENTIAL FOR FOG DEVELOPMENT PARTICULARLY IN AREAS THAT RECEIVE
RAINFALL THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. COVERAGE AND DENSITY OF ANY
SUCH FOG ARE UNCERTAIN...BUT IT SEEMS MOST LIKELY ACROSS OUR
NORTHWEST AND WEST NEAR THE SYNOPTIC TROUGH BOUNDARY WHERE FOG AND
STRATUS DEVELOPED LAST NIGHT...SO HAVE INCLUDED PATCHY FOG IN THOSE
AREAS LATE TONIGHT.

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
COMPLICATED FORECAST MOVING FORWARD OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. WITH
MORE MESOSCALE DRIVEN THAN SYNOPTIC IN THE NEAR TERM...LOOKING FOR
OVERALL TRENDS RATHER THAN ABSOLUTES THIS FORECAST CYCLE. WHATEVER
OVERNIGHT ACTIVITY DEVELOPS SHOULD BE NEARLY COMPLETE BY 12Z FRIDAY
WITH RELATIVELY QUIET PERIOD EXPECTED FOR THE BALANCE OF TOMORROW.
MEANWHILE NEXT UPSTREAM LEE SIDE TROUGH WILL DEVELOP WEST WITH
INCREASING OPPORTUNITY FOR NEARLY STATIONARY BOUNDARY OVER NORTHERN
KANSAS AND MISSOURI TO DRIFT NORTH WITH TIME. INSTABILITY WILL NOT
BE A PROBLEM IN THE FORECAST PERIOD THROUGH SUNDAY...MAIN CONCERNS
ABOUT INITIATION WILL BE EXTEND OF TRIGGER IN THE FORM OF SFC
CONVERGENCE...STRONGER DYNAMICS OR UPSTREAM MCS OVERTAKING THE
SYNOPTIC SPHERE AND RULING THE DAY. MODELS HAVE SOME CONSENSUS WITH
THE INCREASED LIKELIHOOD THAT CONVECTION WILL REFIRE FRIDAY NIGHT
NORTHWEST SECTIONS AND DRIVE EAST SOUTHEAST ALONG THE WEAK SFC
BOUNDARY IN THE AXIS OF HIGHER INSTABILITY. INCREASING BULK SHEAR
OVER THE DAKOTAS AND WESTERN MN WILL FOCUS THE INITIATION WITH THE
STORMS FAVORED TO TRACK SOUTHEAST INTO IOWA. CORFIDI VECTORS OF 25
TO 35 KTS SUGGEST THIS AS WELL BY 06Z SATURDAY...WEAKENING BY 12Z.
THOUGH MODELS ALWAYS HAVE DIFFICULTY WITH THE MESO/SYNOPTIC
INTERACTIONS ANY MCS WOULD LIKELY SUPPRESS THE WARM FRONT SOMEWHAT
ON SATURDAY MORNING PRIOR TO THE FRONT LIFTING NORTH LATER IN THE
AFTERNOON. THE BETTER CHANCES FOR STORMS WILL SHIFT ALONG THE
BOUNDARY AS A STRONGER H500 WAVE FINALLY ARRIVES BY SATURDAY EVENING
AND SUNDAY. BOTH 00Z/12Z SOLNS OF MOST MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE
THAT THE BEST CHANCES FOR WIDESPREAD THUNDER WILL BE ON SUNDAY.
GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY OVER THE NEXT 72 HOURS...MOST STORMS
HAVE A CHANCE OF BEING SEVERE. THE MAIN THREAT WILL REMAIN WIND AND
HAIL FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. THE TORNADO THREAT IS LOW BUT GIVEN
THE HIGH INSTABILITY CANNOT BE DISCOUNTED EARLY IN ANY DEVELOPING
EVENT. THUS...SLIGHT RISKS ARE WARRANTED THROUGH THE PERIOD. WITH
THE STRONGER WAVE COMING THROUGH SUNDAY...THE PERSISTENT TROUGH OVER
THE CENTRAL US WILL FINALLY MOVE EAST WITH A BREAK IN THE ACTIVE
WEATHER PATTERN THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD. COOLER WEATHER WILL
BE THE RULE AS WELL. HIGHS IN THE NEXT 2 TO 3 DAYS WILL REMAIN ABOVE
AVERAGE WITH 70S TO MID 80S AND HUMID LOWS IN THE 60S. NEXT WEEK
OFFERS MORE SEASONAL HIGHS/LOWS IN THE 60S TO LOWER 70S FOR HIGHS
AND 40S TO NEAR 50 FOR MINS. RAINFALL AMOUNTS AGAIN LOOK ROBUST
THROUGH SUNDAY WITH 1 TO 3 INCH TOTALS POSSIBLE ON AVERAGE WITH
LOCALIZED HIGHER AMOUNTS FOR THE 4 DAY TOTAL. FOR NOW...NO FAVORED
AREA OF HIGH IMPACT SO HEADLINES FOR ANY HYDRO ISSUES WILL NOT BE
CONSIDERED AT THIS TIME BUT EVALUATED EACH PACKAGE FOR ANY
PERSISTENT TRENDS.

&&

.AVIATION...04/00Z
AVIATION FORECAST CONTINUES TO BE TRICKY WITH REGARDS TO
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IN THE NEXT 6 TO 12 HOURS. HAVE AN AREA OF
STORMS THAT FORM ACROSS NORTHERN IOWA...THAT SHOULD MAINLY IMPACT
KMCW IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. HOWEVER WILL HAVE TO MONITOR TO SEE IF
DEVELOPMENT SHOVES A BIT FURTHER SOUTH...AS THEN COULD IMPACT KALO
AND KFOD. OTHERWISE BOUNDARY LIFTING NORTH WITH A FEW SHOWERS
DEVELOPING ATTM. EXPECT THIS AREA TO BE THE FOCUS FOR POSSIBLY MORE
ROBUST THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT BY LATE EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS...MAINLY IMPACTING KOTM...AND MAYBE BRIEFLY IN THE EVENING
KDSM. OTHERWISE EXPECT SOME LINGERING CLOUD COVER POSSIBLE INTO
FRIDAY...WITH CU FIELD INCREASING IN THE AFTERNOON HOURS AT KDSM AND
KOTM FRIDAY.

313 PM CDT THU MAY 3 2012

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL IOWA.

.DAY ONE...THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT

THUNDERSTORMS ARE DEVELOPING AND WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT AS WELL.
THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL EXIST ALONG
AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY OVER NORTHERN IOWA AND ALSO OVER SOUTHEAST
IOWA NEARER A STATIONARY BOUNDARY IN NORTHERN MISSOURI. INSTABILITY
WILL ALSO INCREASE OVER WEST CENTRAL IOWA THIS EVENING WITH SOME
SCATTERED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE.

LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING THUNDERSTORM WINDS ARE THE MAIN THREATS
THOUGH AN ISOLATED TORNADO IS POSSIBLE. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS AND
FLASH FLOODING ARE ALSO POSSIBLE IN SOME OF THE SLOWER MOVING
STORMS AS MOISTURE LEVELS REMAIN HIGH ACROSS THE REGION.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

OUR RECENT ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN WILL CHANGE LITTLE THROUGH THE
WEEKEND WITH OFF AND ON CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS. A FEW OF THESE
STORMS MAY STILL BE SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS THE
PRIMARY THREATS. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS AND FLASH FLOODING REMAIN POSSIBLE
AS WELL. THE BEST CHANCES FOR WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY ACROSS THE REGION.

OTHER LESSER THUNDERSTORM CHANCES ARE IN THE FORECAST EARLY NEXT
WEEK...BUT THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER APPEARS LOW AT THIS
TIME.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED FROM TIME TO TIME THROUGH THE
WEEKEND BEGINNING THIS EVENING AND ENDING SUNDAY NIGHT.
