&&

.SHORT TERM /TODAY/...
ISSUED AT 317 AM CDT MON JUN 30 2014

A DYNAMIC WEATHER SITUATION WITH A COOL SEASON STRENGTH LOW
PRESSURE OVER SRN CANADA IN A SUMMER ATMOSPHERE. CONVECTION IS
ONGOING WITH THE MAIN HEAVY RAIN THREAT MOVING INTO WESTERN IA
THIS MORNING AND PROGRESSING ACROSS THE STATE DURING THE DAY. HAVE
EXTENDED THE FFA THROUGH THE DAY TODAY WITH FFG VALUES QUITE LOW.
EXPECT TO SEE WIDESPREAD 1 TO 2.5 INCH RAINFALL AMOUNTS WITH LOCAL

.LONG TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
ISSUED AT 317 AM CDT MON JUN 30 2014

LINGERING THUNDERSTORMS IN THE SOUTHEAST THIS EVENING WILL EXIT
THE CWA BEFORE MIDNIGHT. THAT WILL BE THE END OF THE SEVERE THREAT

MIDDLE OF THE WEEK WITH HIGHS ON WEDNESDAY APPROACHING RECORD COOL
MAXES FOR THE DATE. A WARM UP IS ON TAP FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK.
WILL SEE THE PATTERN BECOME MORE ACTIVE HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND
AS THE WARMER AIR MOVES IN AND THE UPPER RIDGE MOVES CLOSER. WILL
KEEP AN EYE ON THE POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT OF "ARTHUR" ALONG THE
