AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
1155 AM CST MON FEB 25 2013

.SHORT TERM /TODAY/...
A WEAK BOUNDARY STRETCHED ACROSS IOWA EARLY MONDAY MORNING MAY BE
FOCUS FOR LIGHT SNOW IN THE MORNING HOURS ACROSS THE WEST AS A
SHORTWAVE PUSHES ACROSS IOWA. HOWEVER...WITH LACK OF UPSTREAM
PRECIPITATION HAVE BACKED OFF ON PRECIP CHANCES FOR THIS MORNING.
FORCING DECREASES QUICKLY AFTER 12Z...BUT MOISTURE STILL IN PLACE
ESPECIALLY AT LOW LEVELS AND MAY SEE SOME LIGHT SNOW BEFORE NOON
BEFORE WAVE PUSHES EAST. TEMPERATURES WILL BE TRICKY WITH CLOUD
COVER ACROSS THE STATE. CLOUDS HAVE KEPT TEMPERATURES UP
OVERNIGHT...AND HAVE RAISED TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES FOR
TODAY...CLOSE TO GUIDANCE.

.LONG TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MAIN CHALLENGE AGAIN WILL BE THE WINTER STORM TO REACH THE AREA BY
TUESDAY MORNING. BECAUSE THE MODELS CONTINUE TO WAVER ON TRACK AND
EVENTUAL AMOUNTS OF PRECIPITATION AND THUS SNOWFALL...WILL HOLD ONTO
CURRENT HEADLINES FOR NOW.  DEFORMATION AXIS AND AXIS OF HEAVIER
SNOWFALL STILL APPEARS TO FAVOR THE FAR SOUTHEAST WITH FIRST PASS AT
ALL 12Z/00Z MODEL SOLUTIONS LOOKED AT THIS MORNING. WITH THE 00Z
EURO NOW IN...FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT A MORE SOUTHERN SOLUTION MIGHT
BE THE FINAL WORD ON THIS EVENT. THIS WOULD YIELD SIMILAR SNOW
TOTALS TO WHAT WE HAVE BEEN THINKING IN THE PREVIOUS PACKAGES. THERE
ARE SOME RATHER UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT COMPLICATE THIS FORECAST.
ONE IS THE STRONG HIGH TO THE NORTH WHICH HAS CONTINUED TO PUSH
DRIER AIR INTO THE SYSTEM ON THE NORTH SIDE...ESPECIALLY AS IT
BEGINS TOMORROW MORNING SHORTLY BEFORE SUNRISE SOUTH. EVEN THOUGH
THE GFS AND NAM BOTH HAVE A BROADER QPF OUTPUT ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA THEN BOTH THE GEM AND 00Z EURO...BUFR SOUNDINGS AND TIME HEIGHT
CROSS SECTIONS OF OTTUMWA SHOW A SUBSTANTIAL DRY LAYER NEAR THE SFC
THAT NEEDS TO BE OVERCOME PRIOR TO DECENT SNOWFALL BEGINNING TO
OCCUR. WITH THAT BEING SAID...IT MAY TAKE A LITTLE LONGER TO
SATURATE INITIALLY OVER THE SOUTH NEAR THE BORDER AS THE STORM
BEGINS TOMORROW MORNING. THE SECOND COMPLICATING FEATURE IS THAT THE
MODELS HAVE NOT TOTALLY AGREED ON THE TRACK OF THE STORM...OR THE
STRENGTH. THE NAM CONTINUES WITH A MORE NORTHERLY BIAS AND HIGHER
WATER OUTPUT WHILE THE GFS SEEMS MORE REASONABLE...IT STILL SEEMS TO
HAVE TOO BROAD A SHIELD OF PRECIPITATION FOR THE ENTIRE EVENT. AT
THIS TIME THE PREFERENCE IS FOR A SOLUTION THAT LEANS TOWARD THE
EURO/GEM WITH SOME COMPROMISE WITH THE GFS WHICH ISNT TOO
DISSIMILAR. THE BULK OF THE SNOW THAT DOES FALL SHOULD OCCUR AS THE
DEFORMATION ZONE CROSSES THE SOUTHEAST PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA
BETWEEN 12Z AND 20Z WITH GENERALLY LIGHT SNOW RATES OF UNDER AN INCH
PER HOUR FOR A 6 TO 8 HOUR PERIOD. ALONG WITH THAT THOUGH WILL BE
INCREASING NORTHERLY WINDS WHICH APPEAR TO BE SUSTAINED AT ABOUT 20
TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 35 MPH OR SLIGHTLY HIGHER. THIS WILL NEED TO
BE WATCHED FOR VISIBILITY CONCERNS DURING THE LATE MORNING AND
AFTERNOON. BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW AND THE HIGHEST IMPACTS SHOULD
OCCUR OVER THE FAR SOUTHEAST WHERE MORE SNOW IS EXPECTED. WITH
TEMPERATURES NEAR THE FREEZING MARK...THIS MAY HELP MITIGATE SOME OF
THE BLOWING SNOW BUT THERE WILL BE SOME IMPACTS FROM THE WIND.  AS
THE SYSTEM LIFTS NORTHEAST DURING THE AFTERNOON THE LIFT SHIFTS TO
EASTERN IOWA AND SNOWFALL RATES SHOULD BEGIN TO DIMINISH OVER THE
EAST AND SOUTHEAST. NORTHWEST OF THE HEAVIER SNOW...THERE WILL BE AN
AREA OF ADVISORY CRITERIA SNOWFALL WHICH MIGHT COVER UP TO ABOUT A
THIRD OF THE FORECAST AREA FROM SOUTHEAST OF A TAMA TO RINGGOLD
COUNTY LINE. THIS WILL NEED TO BE DEFINED AS WELL TODAY AS THE TRACK
OF THE LOW BECOMES MORE APPARENT AND THE INFLUENCE OF THE HIGH AND
HOW MUCH DRY AIR UNDERCUTS THE SNOW TOTALS ALSO BECOMES MORE
APPARENT. THERE COULD BE A VERY DISTINCT CUT OFF FROM LITTLE IF ANY
SNOW TO THE HEAVIER SNOW IN THE SOUTHEAST AND WITH THIS
UNCERTAINTY...A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION NEEDS TO BE GATHERED PRIOR
TO UPGRADING HEADLINES. AFTER THE STORM PASSES...LITTLE COLD AIR TO
FOLLOW FOR THE BALANCE OF THE WEEK. TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN IN
THE 20S TO 30S AND LOWS IN THE TEENS AND 20S. LITTLE IF ANY
PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED AS WELL THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION...25/18Z

IFR TO LIFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES HAVE PERSISTED THIS MORNING
ACROSS MUCH OF NORTHWEST IOWA WHILE THE REST OF THE FORECAST AREA
HAS IMPROVED TO VFR OR HIGH MVFR. THE LEADING EDGE OF THE LOW
CLOUDS EXTENDS FROM FXY SOUTHWEST TO FOD AND DNS. THE BAND MAY
SPREAD FURTHER SOUTH INTO WEST CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST IOWA...BUT
DRIER AIR INFILTRATING FROM THE EAST SHOULD PREVENT THE CLOUDS
FROM ADVANCING MUCH FURTHER EAST. HAVE OPTIMISTICALLY KEPT LOW
CLOUDS OUT OF MCW FOR THE TIME BEING. CONDITIONS OVER NORTHWEST
IOWA SHOULD IMPROVE MARGINALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON...BUT EXPECT
LOW CEILINGS TO REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT.
