.SHORT TERM.../TODAY /...
ISSUED AT 332 AM CDT MON JUN 24 2013

ONGOING CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE I-80 CORRIDOR AND
NORTH THIS MORNING. WARM CLOUD DEPTHS ARE AROUND 15KFT SO LARGE
HAIL NOT MUCH OF A THREAT. WE COULD NOT GET MORE THAN HALF INCH
HAIL FROM STORMS ALL NIGHT BUT RAINFALL RATES OF 2 TO 3 INCHES AN
HOUR WERE COMMON. WE ARE IN FOR SEVERAL ROUNDS OF STORMS TODAY.
CURRENT CONVECTION IS A RESULT MODERATE INSTABILITY AS A SHORTWAVE
LIFTS ACROSS THE AREA. CURRENT CONVECTION WILL LIKELY WEAKEN OR
DISSIPATE BY LATE MORNING BUT ANOTHER AREA OF STORMS OVER EASTERN
NEBRASKA IS MOVING EAST AND OTHER STORMS AHEAD OF THIS LINE ARE
STARTING TO DEVELOP AND SHOULD MOVE ACROSS THE I-80 CORRIDOR. I
HAVE ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE I80 TO HIGHWAY 20 CORRIDOR
THROUGH 4 PM FOR THIS CONVECTION. IN ADDITION...ADDITIONAL
SHORTWAVES WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA TODAY WITH THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY OVER THE AREA EXPECTED TO RETREAT BACK NORTH AS A WARM
FRONT. SHEAR IS SUFFICIENT FOR STRONG/SEVERE STORMS FROM EARLY
AFTERNOON AND BEYOND. THIS AFTERNOON SHOULD SEE ACTIVE WEATHER
WITH POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE AND HEAVY RAIN. AS THE FRONT SHIFTS
NORTH LATER THIS AFTERNOON...THE THREAT FOR HEAVY RAIN WILL FOLLOW
SO A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS ALSO POSTED NORTH OF HIGHWAY 20 FOR
LATER AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

.LONG TERM.../TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
ISSUED AT 332 AM CDT MON JUN 24 2013

MORE OF THE SAME FOR TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY AS WE WILL CONTINUE
TO CONTEND WITH A QUASI STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY...A LOW LEVEL
JET AND SEVERAL SHORTWAVES TO CROSS THE STATE. STORMS WILL LIKELY
BE ONGOING FROM THE AFTERNOON AND LIKELY RE-INTENSIFY BY MID
EVENING ACROSS THE NORTH. IT WILL LIKELY START OUT WITH SOME
SEVERE POTENTIAL THEN TRANSITION INTO ANOTHER HEAVY RAIN EVENT.

BEYOND TUESDAY THERE HAS NOT BEEN MUCH CHANGE TO THE GOING
FORECAST. UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL DEVELOP OVER THE ROCKIES
PLACING IOWA IN NORTHWEST FLOW WITH A COUPLE OF SHORT WAVES
PUSHING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. ONE SUCH WAVE WILL PUSH ACROSS
NORTHERN/EASTERN IOWA WEDNESDAY THEN AGAIN THURSDAY NIGHT. BEYOND
THAT CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW TO INCLUDE ANY KIND OF POP. COOLER
TEMPS IN STORE FOR THE WEEKEND AS A RESULT OF THE NORTHWEST FLOW.
