AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
318 PM CST SUN MAR 3 2013

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT /...
MAIN CONCERN TONIGHT WILL BE PTYPE. MODELS SETTLING ON SOLUTION OF
2 PART SYSTEM. FIRST PART IS STRONG WARM AIR ADVECTION WHICH WILL
OVERRIDE THE REGION TONIGHT AS WARM FRONT REMAINS GENERALLY WEST
OF AREA DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND WAVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN
PLAINS DROPS SOUTHEAST WITH TIME. TEMPERATURES ARE ABOVE FREEZING
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND AIRMASS REMAINS DRY. HOWEVER...SATURATION
SHOULD BEGIN TO TAKE PLACE BETWEEN 00Z AND 03Z NORTH AND WEST AND
THIS WILL COOL AIRMASS DYNAMICALLY. PTYPE WILL CHANGE OVERNIGHT AS
COOLING BECOMES ESTABLISHED NORTHWEST. AS AREA OF PRECIP SLIDES
SOUTHEAST...PTYPE WILL BE MOSTLY SNOW NORTHWEST WITH A ZONE OF
LIGHT FZRA AND SNOW ON THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE BAND AND SOME
LIGHT RAIN AS WELL FROM ABOUT I80 SOUTH AND WEST OF I35 INITIALLY.
THIS AREA WILL EVOLVE LITTLE OVERNIGHT WITH A FZRA/SN MIX WITH
MAINLY SNOW NORTH. HIGHEST ACCUMS OF SNOW WILL FALL NORTH OF
HIGHWAY 20-30 WITH 1 TO 2 INCHES ON THE SOUTHERN SIDE TO UP TO 2
TO 4 INCHES ALONG THE IOWA MINNESOTA BORDER. THE AREA OF FREEZING
RAIN WILL SEE BETWEEN VERY LIGHT AMOUNTS TO NEARLY A TENTH OF AN
INCH. GIVEN THE QUICKER START WEST AREAS...AT THIS TIME THE HIGHER
TOTALS OF ICE LOOK TO BE FROM NEAR POCAHONTAS COUNTY SOUTHEAST TO
ABOUT NORTHERN DALLAS COUNTY WHERE .05 TO .10 IS EXPECTED. AS THE
MAIN BAND OF PRECIPITATION SHIFTS EAST THERE WILL BE LESS ICE
INTRODUCTION ALOFT TOWARD 12Z WEST AND SOUTHWEST. THIS WILL LEAD
TO A TRANSITION OF -ZR/SN TO FZDZ OR VERY LIGHT FZRA AND -SN
TOWARD 12Z. THAT SHOULD CONTINUE INTO MONDAY MORNING. WINDS WILL
INCREASE AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM WITH SOUTHEAST WINDS OF 15 TO 20 MPH
AND SLIGHTLY HIGHER GUSTS OVERNIGHT. SOME MINOR BLOWING AND
DRIFTING OF SNOW MAY OCCUR...BUT WITH SNOWFALL RATIOS THAT ARE NOT
ALL THAT HIGH...NOT EXPECTING TOO MUCH. MINS OVERNIGHT WILL SETTLE
TOWARD 25 NORTHEAST AND IN THE UPPER 20S TO NEAR 30 SOUTH. DUE TO
THE ICY TRAVEL CONDITIONS THAT WILL BE POSSIBLE SOUTH
PORTIONS...HEADLINES WILL BE INCLUDED ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA FOR
WINTER WX MIXTURE OVERNIGHT. FAR NORTH WILL SEE WARNING HEADLINES
AS SNOW WILL PILE UP MORE QUICKLY THERE OVERNIGHT AND REALIZATION
THAT SECOND BATCH WILL BE ARRIVING BY MONDAY AFTERNOON.

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE FORECAST EVOLUTION OF THE APPROACHING WINTER STORM SYSTEM AND
ITS EFFECTS ON IOWA FROM TOMORROW INTO TUESDAY HAVE BECOME MUCH
MESSIER TODAY DUE TO FORCING...THERMAL...AND MOISTURE DEPTH
ISSUES. THE INITIAL WARM AIR ADVECTION BAND OF SNOW CROSSING THE
AREA TONIGHT...AS DISCUSSED ABOVE...WILL LINGER IN THE NORTHEAST
ON MONDAY MORNING BEFORE MOVING OFF. BEHIND THIS INITIAL BAND
LARGE SCALE FORCING WILL BE MUCH WEAKER AND MORE NEBULOUS DURING
THE DAY WITH TEMPERATURES WARMING ABOVE FREEZING ACROSS AT LEAST
THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA. PROGNOSTIC MODELS ARE MOSTLY
PRODUCING NO QPF ACROSS THESE AREAS ON MONDAY...HOWEVER...FORECAST
SOUNDINGS UNANIMOUSLY AND CONSISTENTLY DEPICT A SATURATED LAYER
FROM THE SURFACE UP TO 8-12 KFT FOR MOST OR ALL OF THE DAY.
DESPITE THE WEAK FORCING WITHIN THIS LAYER EXPECT THAT IT WILL BE
SUFFICIENT TO PRODUCE LIGHT PRECIPITATION AT LEAST INTERMITTENTLY.
IN ADDITION...FOR MUCH OF THE DAY THE TOP OF THIS NEAR-SURFACE
CLOUD LAYER IS ONLY AT ABOUT -5 TO -8 C INDICATING THAT ICE
CRYSTAL INTRODUCTION WILL BE UNLIKELY. THUS THE FORECAST CALLS FOR
FREEZING DRIZZLE OR LIGHT FREEZING RAIN INITIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTH
AND WEST MONDAY MORNING...THEN SPREADING NORTHEAST IN THE AFTERNOON
WITH WARMING TEMPERATURES RESULTING IN DRIZZLE ACROSS THE SOUTH
AND WEST DURING THAT TIME. ANY FREEZING DRIZZLE/FREEZING RAIN
ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD BE LIGHT GIVEN THE RELATIVELY NARROW TEMPORAL
WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY...PERHAPS A TENTH OF AN INCH AT MOST AND IN
MOST AREAS ONLY A COUPLE OF HUNDREDTHS...HOWEVER IF IT IS ABLE TO
FREEZE ONTO PAVED SURFACES THEN IT WILL CREATE HAZARDOUS
CONDITIONS ESPECIALLY COMING DURING THE MORNING COMMUTE HOURS. THE
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR LATE TONIGHT HAS THUS BEEN KEPT VALID
UNTIL NOON TOMORROW...AT WHICH POINT ANY FREEZING PRECIPITATION
SHOULD BE FALLING WITHIN THE WARNING AREA TO THE NORTHEAST.

ON MONDAY EVENING AS THE 500 MB LOW APPROACHES FROM THE
NORTHWEST...AND THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW DEEPENS ACROSS THE
OZARKS...A SURFACE TROUGH WILL SHARPEN AND MOVE ACROSS THE AREA
COINCIDENT WITH A SURGE IN BROAD SCALE LIFT. THIS WILL RESULT IN
A SECOND ROUND OF MORE INTENSE PRECIPITATION AND A QUICK
CHANGEOVER TO ALL SNOW FROM NORTH TO SOUTH BEFORE MIDNIGHT MONDAY
NIGHT. THE SNOW WILL THEN SLOWLY MOVE OFF TOWARD THE EAST LATER ON
MONDAY NIGHT AND TAPER OFF AREAWIDE ON TUESDAY AS THE 500 MB LOW
MOVES OVERHEAD AND OFF TO THE SOUTHEAST. THE MODERATE TO HEAVY
ACCUMULATIONS EXPECTED IN OUR NORTH AND EAST FROM THIS SECOND
ROUND OF SNOW HAVE PROMPTED THE WINTER STORM WARNING FOR THE
NORTHEAST TO REMAIN VALID UNTIL NOON ON TUESDAY.

FROM TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT A LARGE SURFACE RIDGE WILL
MOVE ACROSS IOWA...RESULTING IN A COUPLE OF COOL NIGHTS ESPECIALLY
OVER AREAS WITH FRESH SNOW PACK AS WINDS TO LIGHT. BY THURSDAY THE
RIDGE WILL MOVE OF TO THE EAST...BRINGING A RETURN OF SOUTH
SOUTHEAST SURFACE FLOW AND A SHARP WARMING TREND TO END THE WORK
WEEK. BY NEXT WEEKEND A LARGE STORM SYSTEM WILL BE TAKING SHAPE
OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN U.S. AND WILL LIKELY SPREAD PRECIPITATION UP
INTO OUR REGION SOMETIME BETWEEN SATURDAY AND MONDAY OF NEXT
WEEK...HOWEVER AT THIS RANGE THE DETAILS ARE VERY SKETCHY AND IT
APPEARS THAT TEMPERATURES WILL BE SUPPORTIVE OF MIXED RAIN/SNOW
PRECIPITATION TYPES. THIS SYSTEM WILL BE MONITORED THROUGH THE
COMING WEEK.

.AVIATION...03/18Z
MAIN CONCERNS THIS PERIOD WILL BE AFT 00Z WITH APPROACHING SYSTEM.
WARM AIR ALOFT WILL KEEP CHANCES FOR MIXED PRECIP AND SOME ICE
ACROSS THE SOUTH THIRD OVERNIGHT/EARLY MONDAY WHILE NORTHERN SITES
INITIALLY FAVOR EARLY MIX -FZRASN AT KFOD AND QUICKLY TRANSITION TO
SN 04-06Z. MAJORITY OF EARLY PRECIP AT KALO AND KMCW WILL BE ALL -SN
WITH LOWERING CIGS AND VSBY. AFT INITIAL SHOT OF STRONG WARM AIR
ADVECTION PRECIP...BUFR SOUNDINGS NEARLY REGION WIDE SHOW LOSS OF
ICE INTRODUCTION WHICH LEADS TO FZDZ FOR A GOOD SHARE OF THE
REMAINDER OF THE TAF PERIOD AT KFOD...KDSM...KMCW AND LESSER EXTENT
AT KALO AND KOTM. WITH WARMER AIR HEADING INTO THE SOUTH TOWARD END
OF PERIOD MAY SEE CHANGEOVER TO LIGHT DZ AT KDSM AND KOTM. WINDS TO
REMAIN GENERALLY SOUTHEAST AT NEARLY 15-20KT WITH HIGHER GUSTS AS
WELL THIS PERIOD.
