AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
641 AM CDT WED MAY 29 2013

.SHORT TERM.../TODAY/...
ISSUED AT 330 AM CDT WED MAY 29 2013

MAIN CONCERN FOR FORECAST TODAY ONCE AGAIN BECOMES PRECIPITATION
CHANCES. OVERNIGHT PRECIPITATION WILL PULL EAST OF THE AREA.
HOWEVER...MODELS INDICATE PRECIPITATION DEVELOPMENT NEAR EASTERN KS
WITH NOSE OF LLJ BEGINNING TO PUSH INTO THE REGION ALONG WITH
FORCING. DO NOT HAVE HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THIS DEVELOPMENT...THOUGH
THERE ARE SOME HINTS ON RADAR THAT SOME DEVELOPMENT MAY BE BEGINNING
IN THE AREA...AND WILL INCLUDE CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION IN THE
MORNING HOURS ACROSS THE SOUTH/SOUTHWEST LIFTING QUICKLY NORTH
THROUGH THE MORNING. IF PRECIPITATION OCCURS MAY LINGER ACROSS THE
NORTH INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS WITH BOUNDARY EXPECTED TO
LIFT NORTH. MAIN CONCERN HOWEVER IS WITH AFTERNOON DEVELOPMENT OF
CONVECTION. EXPECT DEVELOPMENT IN EASTERN NEBRASKA/WESTERN IOWA IN
THE MID/LATE AFTERNOON WITH FRONT/DRY LINE IN CENTRAL KANSAS
EXPECTED TO PUSH EAST. CAPE VALUES ARE ONCE AGAIN HIGH ACROSS THE
WEST...2000-3000 J/KG WITH GOOD SHEAR AS WELL. THUNDERSTORMS MAY
BECOME SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS THE MAIN THREATS.

FOG WILL ONCE AGAIN PERSIST ACROSS THE NORTH THROUGH THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS. HOWEVER...WITH SLIGHTLY DRIER CONDITIONS IN THE
NORTH/DEW POINTS DO NOT ANTICIPATE WIDESPREAD DENSE FOG AND WILL NOT
ISSUE AND ADVISORY ATTM...THOUGH LOCALIZED AREAS OF DENSE FOG ARE
POSSIBLE THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLIGHTLY
COOLER THAN TUESDAY BEHIND BOUNDARY...THOUGH ONCE AGAIN COULD SEE
HIGHER TEMPS IF SKIES CLEAR ACROSS THE CWA.

.LONG TERM.../TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
ISSUED AT 330 AM CDT WED MAY 29 2013

WITH MCS AGAIN FORCING OUTFLOW SOUTH OF REGION LAST NIGHT...NOT MUCH
CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS CONDITIONS THROUGH EARLY PORTION OF FORECAST
PERIOD OTHER THAN APPROACH OF MAIN SHORTWAVE TO AFFECT IOWA FROM
TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY.  LOW OVER EASTERN COLORADO TONIGHT
WILL BEGIN TO LIFT NORTHEAST AS STRONGER WESTERLIES GET CLOSER TO
ROCKIES BY 12Z WED. THIS WILL FINALLY ALLOW FOR THE ENTIRE SYSTEM TO
MAKE A TRANSITION EAST OF AREA BY FRIDAY NIGHT...BUT THERE WILL BE
PLENTY TO DEAL WITH BEFORE ITS ALL OVER.  AS THE FIRST OF TWO UPPER
LEVEL SHORT WAVES ARRIVE TONIGHT...STRENGTHENING WIND FIELDS ALOFT
WILL SUPPORT MORE ORGANIZED STORMS JUST TO THE WEST OF REGION IN
EASTERN NEBRASKA AND KANSAS EARLY IN THE PERIOD MOVING EAST
OVERNIGHT THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND SOME
SEVERE WEATHER IS A POSSIBILITY OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY THURSDAY
MORNING WITH THE GREATER THREAT FOR HEAVY RAIN INITIALLY WEST. AS A
CLUSTER OF STORMS MOVES EAST OVERNIGHT...THE THREAT OF HEAVY RAIN
MOVES WITH IT THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS AND CONTINUES INTO
THURSDAY. WITH THE WIND FIELDS RATHER STRONG OVERNIGHT...SOME
POTENTIAL FOR LATE NIGHT OR EARLY MORNING SUPERCELLS ACROSS THE
SOUTH ENHANCED BY THE LOW AND MID LEVEL FLOW. THE FIRST CLUSTER OF
STORMS SHOULD MOVE NORTHEAST WITH A BRIEF BREAK BEFORE ANOTHER
ROUND OF STORMS QUICKLY FORMS AS THE SECOND SHORT WAVE APPROACHES
THE AREA THURSDAY MORNING. THE STRONGER H500 SHORT WAVE WILL
CONTINUE STORMS FOR MOST OF THE DAY ON THURSDAY BRINGING THE
POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL TO THE AREA. HIGHS ON
THURSDAY WILL BE TEMPERED DOWN INTO THE LOWER TO MID 70S ACROSS
THE REGION DUE TO THE OVERCAST AND RAINFALL. SOME QUESTIONS AS TO
THE STRENGTH OF SEVERE WEATHER ON THURSDAY. THOUGH THE WIND FIELDS
SUPPORT BETTER CHANCES FOR SEVERE WEATHER...THE ONGOING CONVECTION
AND CLOUDS MAY SUPPRESS THE OVERALL INSTABILITY AND FAVOR
AGAIN...HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS THE AREA. WITH ANOTHER PERIOD OF
EXTENDED RAINS...POTENTIAL FOR AT TWO PERIODS OF 1-2 INCH RAINS A
REAL POSSIBILITY FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS
COULD LEAD TO MORE FLASH FLOODING AND RIVER RISES THROUGH THE END
OF THE WEEK. AT THIS TIME THERE IS LITTLE CONSENSUS IN THE
PLACEMENT OF THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL OVER THE NEXT 72 HOURS...A
PERSISTENT CHALLENGE OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS FOR EACH EVENT.
LOOKING AT ALL THE DATA...THE PREFERRED AREAS APPEAR TO BE THE
SOUTHEAST ONCE AGAIN FROM ABOUT A LINE FROM NEAR WATERLOO
SOUTHWEST TO AUDUBON. WILL LET THE DAY SHIFT LOOK OVER ONE MORE
SET OF MODEL RUNS TO DETERMINE THE EXTENT OF ANY HEADLINES FOR
THIS UPCOMING EVENT. AFTER THIS SYSTEM PASSES TO THE EAST...
TEMPERATURES COOL OFF OVER THE WEEKEND WITH A GRADUAL WARMUP AGAIN
EARLY NEXT WEEK. AS THAT OCCURS...WILL BE LOOKING AT ADDITIONAL
WARM AIR ADVECTION RAINFALL ACROSS THE REGION BEGINNING ON
TUESDAY.

.AVIATION...29/12Z
 ISSUED AT 635 AM CDT WED MAY 29 2013

LOW IFR CEILINGS WERE PRESENT AT KOTM BEHIND DEPARTING
PRECIPITATION...AND ADDITIONAL IFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES AT KMCW
WITH FOG. THESE CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE EARLY IN THE PERIOD...WITH
VFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AT SITES. WINDS
WILL REMAIN FROM THE SOUTH BUT WILL BE GUSTY THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. ADDITIONAL CHANCES FOR TSRA AT SITES AGAIN
OVERNIGHT...AND COULD SEE CEILING AND VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS WITH
STORMS. HOWEVER...DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH CONFIDENCE IN TIMING AND
LOCATION TO INCLUDE MENTION ATTM.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 330 AM CDT WED MAY 29 2013

WITH A MORE SIGNIFICANT STORM APPROACHING LATE TONIGHT THROUGH
THURSDAY EVENING THE THREAT FOR ADDITIONAL LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL
WILL ONCE AGAIN INCREASE ACROSS THE REGION. THE MAIN FOCUS OF ANY
REPEATED RAINFALL LOOKS ONCE AGAIN TO FAVOR THE SOUTHEAST THIRD TO
HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. WITH AT LEAST TWO ROUNDS OF 1-2 INCH
RAINFALL EXPECTED FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY...THERE
MAY AGAIN BE A RISK OF MORE FLASH FLOODING ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE
FORECAST AREA ALONG WITH ADDITIONAL PRESSURE ON RIVER LEVELS OVER
THE NEXT 3 TO 5 DAYS. LOOK TO LATER STATEMENTS OR POSSIBLE WATCHES
CONCERNING THIS UPCOMING RAINFALL EVENT.
