AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
617 AM CDT FRI JUN 21 2013

.SHORT TERM.../TODAY/...
ISSUED AT 331 AM CDT FRI JUN 21 2013

LARGE CONVECTIVE COMPLEX OVER MN BEGINNING TO TURN SOUTHEAST AND
BATTLING H700 CAP AT THIS TIME AS IT DOES.  CONTINUED CONCERNS EARLY
THIS MORNING AS TO HOW FAR SOUTH THIS WILL TURN BEFORE THE CAP
BECOMES TOO STRONG FOR ANY FURTHER SOUTH DRIFT. COLD POOL HAS
DEVELOPED WITH SFC WINDS AND OUTFLOW PROPAGATING BACK TO THE
SOUTHWEST. THIS SUGGESTS THAT IT MAY CLIP NORTHERN IOWA WITH STORMS
THIS MORNING BETWEEN 4 AND 8 AM...IF THE LINE IS ABLE TO CONTINUE
BREAKING THE CAP BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST...MAY SEE ADDITIONAL STORMS
INTO CENTRAL IOWA. CURRENT MESO MODELS ARE LACKING IN ANY AGREEMENT
BUT THE HRRR HAS BEEN MORE REALISTIC WITH FEATURES SO FAR AND IT
ONLY SCRAPES NORTHERN IOWA EARLY TODAY WITH THIS COMPLEX OF STORMS.
ONCE SYSTEM MOVES EAST WILL BE LEFT WITH ANOTHER VERY WARM AND HUMID
DAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S THIS
AFTERNOON WITH SOUTH WINDS AND GENEROUS DEW POINTS IN THE 60S AND
LOWER 70S. MORE CONVECTION MAY DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON NORTH OF
HIGHWAY 20 ALONG ANY LINGERING OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM THE OVERNIGHT
CONVECTIVE COMPLEX AND THIS IS MORE LIKELY AFT 19Z THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON. WILL BE MONITORING CONVECTIVE TRENDS
THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS.

.LONG TERM.../TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
ISSUED AT 331 AM CDT FRI JUN 21 2013

EXTENDED FORECAST CONTINUES TO CENTER AROUND LARGE UPPER LEVEL LOW
ACROSS PAC NW...AND SURFACE LOW ACROSS NORTHERN PLAINS WITH WARM
FRONT IN SOUTHERN SD/MN. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE FOCUS FOR
AFTERNOON CONVECTION...AND MODELS AGAIN SUGGEST MCS DEVELOPMENT
OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER..AS UPPER LOW PUSHES EASTWARD...RIDGE PUSHES
NORTH OF IOWA...AND UPPER LEVEL FLOW IS EXPECTED TO TAKE ANY
OVERNIGHT MCS NORTH OF IOWA. THOUGH...CURRENTLY ONGOING MCS ACROSS
SOUTHERN MINNESOTA MAY PRODUCE AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY INTO NORTHERN
IOWA...WHICH MAY ALLOW FOR TRACK OF MCS TO BE FURTHER SOUTH INTO
NORTHERN IOWA. THOUGH GIVEN STRENGTH OF UPPER LEVEL LOW...STILL
PREFER NORTHERN SOLUTION...AND HAVE KEPT POPS CONFINED TO
NORTHERN IOWA OVERNIGHT.

SATURDAY NIGHT LOOKS TO BE ACTIVE AS WELL...WITH FRONTAL BOUNDARY
PUSHING INTO NORTHWESTERN IOWA. THIS COULD BE FOCUS FOR AFTERNOON
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT...WITH AGAIN OVERNIGHT MCS...THOUGH WITH
INFLUENCE FROM UPPER LOW MODELS CONTINUE TO PULL CONVECTION
NORTHWEST OF IOWA...AND HAVE KEPT POPS AGAIN CONFINED TO THE
NORTH...AS WARM MID LEVEL TEMPS WILL HELP TO KEEP CAP ACROSS MOST
OF CENTRAL IOWA. SUNDAY FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL PUSH INTO CENTRAL
IOWA...WITH ENOUGH FORCING TO LEAD TO PROLONGED PERIODS OF
PRECIPITATION THROUGH THE DAY AND OVERNIGHT...THOUGH WILL PUSH EAST
OF REGION BY MONDAY. SHORTWAVE PUSHING ACROSS NE/SD BORDER WILL
BRING ADDITIONAL SHOT OF PRECIPITATION FOR TUESDAY...LINGERING IN
THE EAST THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE HOT THROUGH THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD AS
SOUTHERLY SURFACE FLOW AND WAA PERSISTS UNDER RIDGE. THIS WILL
ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB INTO THE 90S ACROSS MUCH OF THE
CWA...THOUGH COULD GO HIGHER THAN GOING IF ABLE TO MIX WELL. HEAT
INDEX VALUES WILL BE NEAR 100 THROUGH THE WEEKEND IN THE
AFTERNOONS. THIS WILL BE THE FIRST EXPOSURE SUMMER LIKE
HEAT/HUMIDITY FOR MUCH OF THE REGION...AND MAY BE TAXING.
HOWEVER...OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO COOL INTO THE 70S AND
WILL PROVIDE SOME RELIEF. IN ADDITION...BEHIND FRONTAL BOUNDARY
MONDAY TEMPERATURES WILL COOL SOMEWHAT...BUT WILL QUICKLY REBOUND
BACK INTO THE UPPER 80S AND LOW 80S FOR MOST OF THE REMAINDER OF
THE PERIOD.

.AVIATION...21/12Z
ISSUED AT 617 AM CDT FRI JUN 21 2013

MAIN CONCERN WILL BE CONVECTION EARLY TODAY AND AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON
AND NIGHT. AMBIENT WINDS WILL ALSO POSE SOME ISSUES AS GRADIENT
REMAINS STRONG WITH SOUTH WINDS THROUGH THE DAY MIXING TO ABOUT 20
TO 25 KTS ACROSS THE REGION. OLD MCC IN MINNESOTA EARLY TODAY
CONTINUES TO PUSH EAST WITH OUTFLOW BOUNDARY CONVECTION NOW ENTERING
NORTHERN IOWA. THIS WILL MAINLY AFFECT KMCW EARLY TODAY AND POSSIBLY
KALO TO A LESSER EXTENT. WINDS MAY PICK UP AS BOUNDARY INTERACTS
WITH MORE UNSTABLE AIR THROUGH ABOUT 16Z AND WILL MONITOR FOR STRONG
WIND GUST POTENTIAL AT KMCW AND KALO. ONCE CONVECTION PUSHES EAST...
GRADIENT WINDS WILL INCREASE FROM THE SOUTH AFT 16Z. OLD OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY MAY BE FOCUS FOR AFTERNOON CONVECTION NORTH SITES ONCE
AGAIN BUT STRONG CAP AT H700 WILL INHIBIT ANY CONVECTION FOR KFOD
KDSM...AND KOTM THROUGH REMAINDER OF PERIOD. AS NIGHTFALL APPROACHES
ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION MAY DEVELOP NORTH OF STATE AND AGAIN
AFFECT NORTHERN SITES BETWEEN 04 AND 09Z ON THE 22ND.
