...HEAVY SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW CONTINUES THIS MORNING...

.A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER ILLINOIS WILL CONTINUE TO PRESS
FURTHER EAST AND ALLOW FOR THE HEAVY SNOW TO SLOWLY TAPER OFF LATE
THIS MORNING INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. STRONG WINDS WILL
BRING WIDESPREAD BLOWING SNOW AND REDUCED VISIBILITY INTO THE
AFTERNOON HOURS. MUCH COLDER AIR WILL FILTER INTO THE STATE AND
PRODUCE VERY DANGEROUS WIND CHILLS TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY OVER THE
NORTHERN HALF OF IOWA.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR HEAVY SNOW MEANS SEVERE WINTER WEATHER
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OR OCCURRING.  SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF
SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW ARE FORECAST THAT WILL MAKE TRAVEL
DANGEROUS. ONLY TRAVEL IN AN EMERGENCY. IF YOU MUST TRAVEL...KEEP
AN EXTRA FLASHLIGHT...FOOD...AND WATER IN YOUR VEHICLE IN CASE OF

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
1112 AM CST TUE JAN 29 2013

...CHANGES TO HEADLINE TYPE EXPECTED TO BE OUT AROUND NOON...

.UPDATE...
HAVE UPDATED TO REFLECT CURRENT TRENDS WITH POPS FOR THE
MORNING...REMOVING FROM ALL BUT THE FAR SOUTHEAST FOR HATE MOST PART
WITH SOME LIGHT SNOW/DRIZZLE POSSIBLY MOVING INTO THE SOUTHWEST BY
NOON...WITH BETTER CHANCES FOR PRECIP THIS AFTERNOON. LARGE AREA OF
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS TO SLIDE NORTHEASTWARD INTO
EASTERN/SOUTHEASTERN CWA BY THIS AFTERNOON. ALSO UPDATED SFC
TEMPS...WITH THE LATEST OBS AND CONTINUED THE NEAR STEADY OR FALLING
TEMPS THROUGH THE DAY. ADDED IN BLOWING SNOW TO GRIDS FOR LATE
TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING...WITH STRONG CAA AND STRONG WINDS
EXPECTED ON THE BACK SIDE OF THIS SYSTEM.

.SHORT TERM /TODAY/...
DOUBLE BARREL LOW MOVING NORTHEAST ALONG THE COLD FRONT THIS
MORNING.  THE FIRST LOW HAS PUSHED INTO NORTHERN IA THIS MORNING.
SECOND LOW NOW MOVING INTO SOUTHWEST IA NEAR CRESTON ON THE LATEST
CHART AND WILL PUSH NORTHEAST AT 50 TO 60 KTS.  ONCE SECOND LOW
PASSES THE COLD FRONT SHOULD BEGIN TO MAKE PROGRESS TO THE
SOUTHEAST.  VERY WARM AIR IN PLACE OVER SOUTHEAST IA THIS MORNING
WITH RECORD MAXES FALLING DURING THE PREDAWN HOURS.  TEMPS WILL FALL
THROUGH THE DAY WITH NWLY WINDS GRADUALLY INCREASING THROUGH THE
DAY.  TEMPS WILL FALL THROUGH OUT THE DAY WITH PRECIPITATION BEING
BEING SQUEEZED SOUTHEAST WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE LOW OVER SOUTHWEST
IA.  NEXT WAVE WILL BEGIN LIFTING NORTHEAST ALONG THE FRONT THIS
AFTERNOON AND START SPREAD PRECIP INTO WESTERN IA.  RAIN EXPECTED
SOUTHEAST WITH A MIXTURE OF RAIN/SNOW AND SOME ICE PELLETS OVER THE
NORTHWEST BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON.

.LONG TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
BIG CHANGES IN STORE FOR BEGINNING OF EXTENDED WITH POSSIBLE
WINTER STORM BEGINNING TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. LATEST MODEL
RUNS HAVE DEVIATED SIGNIFICANTLY FROM PREVIOUS RUNS...TRACKING
DEEPENING SURFACE LOW NE FROM OKLAHOMA THROUGH MISSOURI. WAVE
ROUNDING RIDGE IS SET TO TRACK ACROSS KS/IOWA BEHIND
LOW...BRINGING INCREASED CHANCES FOR DEF ZONE PRECIPITATION TO
CENTRAL IOWA. FORCING WITH THIS SYSTEM IS SIGNIFICANT WITH
FRONTOGENESIS AND DIV Q FORCING STRETCHING ACROSS CENTRAL IOWA
BEGINNING NEAR 00Z AND SLOWLY LIFTING NE THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY. IN
ADDITION...TEMPERATURES BEHIND LOW WILL QUICKLY FALL WITH
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW AND CAA...CAUSING RAIN TO TRANSITION TO SNOW
EARLY WEDNESDAY EVENING ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA. WITH GOOD FORCING
COULD SEE SOME IMPRESSIVE SNOWFALL RATES...ESPECIALLY AS
TEMPERATURES COOL AND SATURATION WITHIN THE DENDRITIC ZONE
INCREASES. WEAK EPV INDICATES SOME POTENTIAL FOR BANDING OF
SNOW...THOUGH THIS DOES NOT LAST LONG AFTER CHANGE OVER TO
SNOW. AMOUNT OF MOISTURE AVAILABLE AND TIMING OF CHANGE OVER TO
SNOW WILL IMPACT SNOWFALL AMOUNTS...WITH MODELS SUGGESTING AROUND
A QUARTER OF AN INCH OF QPF ACROSS CENTRAL IOWA. HOWEVER...MODELS
HAVE BEEN A BIT HOT WITH QPF LATELY...AND DO NOT HAVE HIGH
CONFIDENCE IN THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE AVAILABLE BEHIND LOW.
THEREFORE HAVE KEPT QPF...AND THUS SNOWFALL TOTALS...SLIGHTLY
BELOW GUIDANCE. HOWEVER...SNOWFALL TOTALS MAY BE AS HIGH AS 5 TO 6
INCHES IN PLACES OVERNIGHT WEDNESDAY. HEAVIEST TOTALS ATTM LOOK TO
BE ALONG A CRESTON...DES MOINES...WATERLOO LINE.

HAVE ISSUED WINTER STORM WATCH FOR THIS SYSTEM. GIVEN RECENT MODEL
TRENDS TOWARDS THIS SYSTEM...DID NOT HAVE HIGH CONFIDENCE IN
PLACEMENT OF HEAVIEST BANDS OF SNOWFALL AS SYSTEM CONTINUES TO PULL
SLIGHTLY SE. IN ADDITION...LATEST MODEL RUNS HAVE BACKED OFF A BIT
MORE ON QPF. HOWEVER...A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IS LIKELY TO BE
NEEDED FOR PORTIONS OF THE CWA FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT. A WINTER STORM
WARNING MAY BE JUSTIFIED AS WINDS INCREASE OVERNIGHT AND
CONTRIBUTE TO BLOW AND DRIFTING OF FALLING SNOW. WINDS WILL
INCREASE ALONG TIGHT SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT IN CAA BEHIND LOW.
WINDS WILL BE 20 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 35 TO 40 MPH POSSIBLE.
IN ADDITION...INITIAL SNOWFALL MAY BE WET IN TRANSITION FROM RAIN
TO SNOW...CAUSING IT TO STICK TO TREES...POWER LINES AND OTHER
SURFACES. DAY SHIFT WILL MONITOR LATEST MODEL RUNS TO ENSURE
PROPER PLACEMENT OF HEADLINES.

SYSTEM WILL PUSH QUICKLY TO THE EAST...WITH LINGERING
PRECIPITATION ENDING BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT. AS UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
BUILDS IN...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL PUSH SE KEEPING CONDITIONS
MOSTLY DRY FOR THE EXTENDED...HOWEVER TEMPERATURES WILL COOL
SHARPLY. TEMPERATURES FOR THURSDAY NIGHT WILL BE NEAR ZERO ACROSS
THE SOUTH AND WELL BELOW ZERO IN THE NORTH. WITH STRONGER WINDS
ACROSS THE NORTH THURSDAY NIGHT...WILL LIKELY SEE WINDCHILL VALUES
10 TO 20 BELOW. CONDITIONS WILL WARM SLIGHTLY FOR THE WEEKEND AS
WAA RETURNS. A WAVE PUSHING SE ACROSS IOWA MAY BRING CHANCES FOR
PRECIPITATION FOR SATURDAY...BUT DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO
INCLUDE MENTION ATTM. CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO WARM THROUGH END
OF PERIOD WITH HIGHS IN THE 30S AND 40S.

&&

.AVIATION...29/12Z
LOW PRESSURE NEAR KALO WILL MOVE NORTHEAST AS A COLD FRONT TRAILING
FROM THE LOW MOVE SOUTHEAST OF IOWA BY EARLY THIS AFTERNOON.
WIDESPREAD MVFR AND IFR CONDITIONS IN STRATUS REMAIN BEHIND THE COLD
FRONT.  LOW PRESSURE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER OK THIS AFTERNOON WILL
MOVE NORTHEAST ALONG THE STALLING COLD FRONT EAST OF IOWA.
CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT WITH
