346 PM CDT TUE JUN 17 2014

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...
ISSUED AT 346 PM CDT TUE JUN 17 2014

ANOTHER ACTIVE NIGHT EXPECTED ACROSS THE
STATE TONIGHT...WITH SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT AND ANOTHER IMPULSE OF
ENERGY EVIDENT ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS
LIFTING NORTHEASTWARD TOWARD THE REGION. SFC LOW CENTERED ACROSS
CENTRAL NE/KS...WITH AN ASSOCIATED WARM FRONT STRETCHING ACROSS
NORTHERN IOWA FROM FAR NORTHWEST IA SOUTHEASTWARD INTO EAST CENTRAL
IOWA. DECENT CU FIELD HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS THE CWA WITH STRONG
INSTABILITY...HOWEVER DECENT CAP IN PLACE WITH H7 TEMPS IN THE +13C
TO +14C ACROSS THE MAJORITY OF THE CWA. WARM FRONT IS EXPECTED TO
LIFT NORTHWARD SOME...WITH STORM INITIATION EXPECTED IN VICINITY OF
THE FRONT TOWARD VERY LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING TOWARD 00Z
FURTHER NORTH ALONG THE MN/IA BORDER OR JUST NORTH. MOISTURE
TRANSPORT REMAINS ORIENTED INTO THE STATE OVERNIGHT...WITH A
STRENGTHENING LLJ THEREFORE EXPECT ACTIVITY TO DIVE SOUTH
SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH CENTRAL/EASTERN CWA BY LATE EVENING INTO THE
EARLY OVERNIGHT HOURS. A SECONDARY ROUND OF STORMS FROM ACTIVITY
OVER SD WILL POTENTIALLY PUSH SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE CWA LATE
TONIGHT. SEVERE PARAMETERS REMAIN FAVORABLE FOR ALL MODES OF SEVERE
WEATHER...WITH DECENT TURNING IN THE HODOGRAPHS ACROSS NORTHERN IOWA
WHICH IS STORMS ARE GOING EARLY ENOUGH COULD PRESENT A TORNADO
THREAT/HAIL THREAT. AS THE EVENING WEARS ON...THREAT TRANSITIONS
MORE TO A DAMAGING WIND AND HEAVY RAIN THREAT. WITH MUCH OF THE
NORTHERN CWA HAVING RECEIVED HEAVY RAINFALL LAST NIGHT...AND
POTENTIAL FOR ONE MAYBE TWO COMPLEXES PUSHING THROUGH THE AREA
TONIGHT HAVE ISSUED ANOTHER FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE
NORTHERN/EASTERN THIRD TO HALF OF THE CWA. OVERALL DO NOT ANTICIPATE
RAINFALL AMOUNTS QUITE AS HIGH IN SOME LOCATIONS AS IN THE PREVIOUS
NIGHT...BUT WITH SOILS SATURATED FROM THE PREVIOUS RAINFALL IT WILL
NOT TAKE MUCH TO CREATE ADDITIONAL FLOODING ISSUES.

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
ISSUED AT 346 PM CDT TUE JUN 17 2014

CONTINUED ACTIVE PATTERN FOR NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...WITH SEVERE STORMS
AND HEAVY RAINFALL|FLASH FLOODING POTENTIAL TO REMAIN HIGHER THAN
NORMAL. PERSISTENT H500 TROUGH OVER THE WEST AND SUBTROPICAL HIGH
ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST US CONTINUES TO FEED HIGH MOISTURE INTO THE
CENTRAL PLAINS. SUBJECTIVE H850 ANALYSIS AT 12Z TUES SHOWED WIDE
PLUME OF 15C DEW POINTS FROM SOUTH TEXAS NORTH TO EASTERN WYOMING.
WITH LONG WAVE TROUGH IN PLACE...SEVERAL SHORT WAVES EXPECTED TO
TRACK EAST. BY EARLY WED...DECAYING MCS FROM OVERNIGHT SHOULD BE
OVER EASTERN IOWA. OVERNIGHT CONVECTION LIKELY TO KEEP WARM FRONT
TRAPPED ACROSS CENTRAL IOWA. LEFTOVER DEBRIS CLOUDS AND MORNING
OUTFLOW MAY KEEP BOUNDARY FIXED OVER THE AREA WITH RAPID HEATING
OVER NEBRASKA AND SOUTHWEST IOWA SETTING THE STAGE FOR NEARLY A
REPEAT OF THE PAST TWO DAYS. EXPECTING ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDER TO
DEVELOP BY LATE MORNING OR AFTERNOON OVER THE EAST/NORTHEAST...
POTENTIALLY BACK BUILDING INTO CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN IOWA FROM 21-
06Z. MODELS CONTINUE TO DIFFER ON DETAILS WITH EURO BEING MORE
CONSISTENT/STATIONARY AND GFS MORE PROGRESSIVE WITH EASTERLY
MOVEMENT OF CONVECTION. AT THIS TIME...EURO SEEMS MORE CORRECT GIVEN
POTENTIAL FOR MESO SCALE PROCESSES TO OVERTAKE THE SYNOPTIC FORCING
WHICH WILL MAINTAIN THE BOUNDARY IN IOWA. CONSEQUENTLY...MORE ROUNDS
OF SVR WEATHER AND HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE AND WILL NEED TO EVALUATE
POTENTIAL FOR ANY FLASH FLOODING AREAL COVERAGE AND TIMING FOR
WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. HIGHS WILL BE QUITE WARM TO HOT AGAIN SW
SECTIONS WED...WITH WARM READINGS OVER THE NORTHEAST. UPPER LEVEL
H500 WAVE WILL FINALLY LIFT NORTHEAST INTO SOUTHERN CANADA BY 00Z
SATURDAY...ENDING THE WIDESPREAD THREAT FOR HEAVY RAIN AND SEVERE
WEATHER. OVER THE NEXT 36 TO 48 HOURS...PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES
WILL CONTINUE 1.5 TO 2 INCH RANGE. WARM CLOUD DEPTHS ARE VERY
FAVORABLE FOR HEAVY RAINFALL ONCE AGAIN WITH A LARGE PART OF IOWA
CONTINUING BETWEEN 3500 AND 4000 METERS...11500 AND 13000 FEET IN
DEPTH. CORFIDI VECTORS SUGGEST WEAK FORWARD PROPAGATION
WEDNESDAY/WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND MAY SEE AN MCS OVER EASTERN IOWA LATE
WEDNESDAY MORNING BACKBUILD ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE AFTERNOON
AND EVENING HOURS. THE UNUSUAL COMBINATION OF FACTORS MAY LEAD TO
HIGH RAINFALL RATES AND THE POTENTIAL FOR 2 TO 4 INCHES OF RAINFALL
IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. WIND FIELDS ALOFT ARE NOT APPRECIABLY
STRONG WEDNESDAY...THOUGH SEVERE WEATHER WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE THE
FOCUS MAY SHIFT TO A GREATER RISK OF HEAVY RAINFALL. BY THURSDAY...
WIND FIELDS INCREASE ALOFT SHIFTING THE FOCUS BACK SLIGHTLY TOWARD
SEVERE WEATHER.

WARM AND HUMID WEATHER TO REMAIN THROUGH SATURDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE
80S AND LOWS IN THE 60S TO NEAR 70. SOME RELIEF IS EXPECTED LATER IN
THE WEEKEND TO EARLY NEXT WEEK. GEM/EURO SUGGEST CANADIAN HIGH WILL
IMPACT THE AREA BY LATE SUNDAY/MONDAY WITH DRIER WEATHER EXPECTED...
AND COOLER TEMPERATURES. GFS MAY BE BRINGING STORMS AND RAINFALL
BACK TOO QUICKLY. IF THE HIGH HOLDS A BREAK FROM THE ACTIVE WEATHER
SHOULD LAST FOR SEVERAL DAYS.

.AVIATION...17/18Z
ISSUED AT 1235 PM CDT TUE JUN 17 2014

CU FIELD TO FILL IN ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON...WITH MAINLY
LOW VFR CIGS. THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THE
MN/IA BORDER TOWARD LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING AND SPREAD
SOUTH/SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE STATE THIS EVENING INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. HAVE NARROWED DOWN THE BEST CHANCES FOR PRECIP AT
THE TAF SITES WITH VCSH AT THE WESTERN TAF SITES WHICH WILL BE
MORE ON THE WESTERN EDGE OF EXPECTED ACTIVITY AND KEPT MORE ROBUST
VCTS WORDING AT KMCW AND KALO WHERE BEST CHANCES EXIST. ADDITIONAL
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES ARE EXPECTED JUST BEYOND THE CURRENT TAF
FORECAST PERIOD FOR WEDNESDAY.

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 346 PM CDT TUE JUN 17 2014

SEVERAL ROUNDS OF HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE
PERIOD. TONIGHTS CONVECTION WILL BE CONCENTRATED OVER NORTHERN IOWA
AND PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST AND CENTRAL IOWA MAINLY ALONG AND NORTH OF
US HIGHWAY 30. ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED LATE
WEDNESDAY MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON/EVENING HOURS...POSSIBLY BACK
BUILDING ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN IOWA DURING THE AFTERNOON.
ADDITIONALLY...MORE RAIN IS POSSIBLE THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT.
FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO LOWER WITH EACH RAIN EVENT. MOST
OF THE NORTH TWO THIRDS OF THE AREA IS LOOKING AT 1 HOUR FFG OF 1.25
TO 1.75 INCHES WITH THE SOUTHERN THIRD 2 TO 2.5 INCHES. 3 HOUR
GUIDANCE IS 1.88 TO ABOUT 3 INCHES. WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR 2 TO 4
INCHES IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME...FLASH FLOODING WILL BE A
POSSIBILITY TONIGHT ACROSS THE NORTH AND POSSIBLY OVER MORE OF THE
AREA WEDNESDAY.

RECENT AND FORECAST RAINFALL HAVE RESULTED IN SIGNIFICANT RISES ON
RIVERS IN THE NORTHERN CWA...WITH SOME RIVERS ALREADY ABOVE FLOOD
STAGE. RIVER FLOOD WARNINGS CONTINUE FOR PORTIONS OF THE DES MOINES
RIVER BASIN UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

CONCERN IS THE IMPACT OF SUCCESSIVE RAINFALL EVENTS ON THE
STREAMS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CWA. QPF
ENSEMBLE HYDROGRAPHS SUGGEST THAT ADDITIONAL RAINFALL WILL LIKELY
PROLONG THE FLOODING IN LOCATIONS ALREADY WARNED...AND MAY RESULT IN
NEW FLOODING. FOR EXAMPLE...QPF ENSEMBLE HYDROGRAPHS SUGGEST THE
POSSIBILITY OF MODERATE FLOODING IN THE NORTHERN DES MOINES RIVER
BASIN...WITH MINOR FLOODING POSSIBLE DOWN TO SAYLORVILLE RESERVOIR.
THEY SHOW MINOR TO LOW-END MODERATE FLOODING POSSIBLE ON OTHER
STREAMS.
