AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
406 AM CST SAT JAN 25 2014

.SHORT TERM /TODAY/...
ISSUED AT 400 AM CST SAT JAN 25 2014

MAIN FORECAST CONCERN IS WITH WINDS AND TEMPERATURES TODAY
AS STRONG CAA CONTINUES TO FILTER INTO THE STATE THIS MORNING. THE
MAJORITY OF MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES TODAY HAVE ALREADY OCCURRED AS
TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO DROP THIS MORNING OVER CENTRAL IOWA. MAY
SEE ANOTHER BRIEF WARM-UP THIS AFTERNOON OVER THE FAR SOUTHWEST WITH
THE SURFACE HIGH BUILDING INTO WESTERN IOWA THIS AFTERNOON AND ALLOW
WINDS TO SHIFT WEST. LEANED TOWARD A ECMWF/SREF BLEND FOR
TEMPERATURES AND TEMPERATURE TRENDS TODAY. A WEAK BAND OF PRECIP
ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LEVEL JET LEFT EXIT REGION WILL QUICKLY
DEPART THE FORECAST AREA BY 12Z AND NOT EXPECTING ANY PRECIPITATION
AFTER THAT TIME FRAME. THE 25.06Z HOPWRF HAS LITTLE TO NO PRECIP IN
THE SOUTHWEST THIS MORNING AND ONLY KEPT SLIGHT POPS GOING TO
COINCIDE WITH CURRENT RADAR TRENDS. OTHERWISE...THE STRONGEST WINDS
WILL BE THIS MORNING WITH THE INITIAL PUSH OF PVA THROUGH 15Z. WINDS
ATOP THE MIXED LAYER RANGE AROUND 30 KNOTS THIS MORNING AND THEN
GRADUALLY DECREASE THIS AFTERNOON WITH SUBSIDENCE MOVING INTO THE
STATE.

.LONG TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
ISSUED AT 400 AM CST SAT JAN 25 2014

SEVERAL ISSUES TO DEAL WITH OVER THE NEXT 60 HOURS. STRONG THETA-E
ADVECTION WILL BE ONGOING OVER WESTERN IOWA BY EARLY THIS EVENING
WITH SNOW MOVING INTO THE FAR NORTHWEST THEN SPREADING SOUTHEAST.
THE SNOW WILL IMPACT MAINLY THE NORTHEAST HALF OF THE FORECAST
AREA OR GENERALLY NORTHEAST OF A DENISON TO DES MOINES TO OTTUMWA
LINE. GENERAL QPF WITH THIS SYSTEM IS ONE TO TWO TENTHS OF AN INCH
OVER THE NORTHEAST. CRYSTAL MORPHOLOGY WITH THESE WARM ADVECTION
EVENTS TENDS TO PROMOTE MORE SMALLER PLATES AND NEEDLES AS OPPOSED
TO DENDRITES WITH MUCH OF THE LIFT OCCURRING IN A LAYER WARMER
THAN THE OPTIMAL DENDRITIC GROWTH REGION. THIS WILL LIMIT SNOW
RATIOS AND COMBINED WITH A FAST MOVING SYSTEM...SHOULD RESULT IN
SNOWFALL OF 1 TO 3 INCHES IN THE REGION SPECIFIED. THEREFORE...NO
HEADLINES TONIGHT.

PRIMARILY WESTERLY DOWNSLOPE FLOW WILL FOLLOW SUNDAY
MORNING. THIS FLOW SHOULD PUSH TEMPERATURES ABOVE FREEZING FOR A
LARGE PORTION OF CENTRAL IOWA AHEAD OF A STRONG COLD FRONT THAT
WILL REACH NORTH CENTRAL IOWA BY MID AFTERNOON. THIS WARMING MAY
CAUSE SEVERAL POTENTIAL PROBLEMS FOR SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
FIRST IT WILL PROMOTE GOOD MIXING WITH STRONG WINDS OF 50 TO 55
KTS MOVING INTO THE MIXED LAYER. WEAK SFC INSTABILITY APPEARS
LIKELY TO DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING ARCTIC BOUNDARY AND
UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE. SOUNDING PROFILES OVER THE NORTHERN HALF
OF IOWA ARE VERY SIMILAR TO THE JAN 16TH DES MOINES PROFILE THAT
RESULTED IN THUNDERSNOW AND NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS FOR ONE TO
TWO HOURS. THIS PROFILE HAD DEEP SATURATION TO NEAR 700 MB WITH A
GOOD PORTION OF IT WITH IN THE DENDRITIC GROWTH REGION. THE THIRD
ISSUE WILL BE THE HEATING OF ROADWAYS WITH ANY PRECIPITATION
FALLING SUNDAY AFTERNOON MELTING INITIALLY THEN QUICKLY REFREEZING
AS THE ARCTIC AIR SURGES IN. WITH A LARGE PORTION OF THE AREA
HAVING LITTLE TO NO SNOW COVER...THE POTENTIAL FOR BLIZZARD
CONDITIONS IS HIGHLY CONTINGENT ON SNOW TONIGHT THEN AGAIN SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. THE CURRENT BLIZZARD WATCH HAS THE PRIMARY AREA
HIGHLIGHTED WELL WITH THE OTHER AREAS LESS LIKELY TO HAVE SNOW
TONIGHT AND ANY CONVECTIVE INSTABILITY SHOULD WANE AS IT ARRIVES
FARTHER SOUTH SUNDAY EVENING. WILL HOWEVER INCLUDE SEVERAL
COUNTIES IN A HIGH WIND WATCH THAT ARE EXPECTED TO HAVE LITTLE TO
NOW SNOW. THE WIND WITH THIS SYSTEM LOOKS POTENT. A SIGNIFICANT
TROP FOLD WILL ARRIVE COINCIDENT AND BEHIND THE BOUNDARY SUNDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH THE STRONG COLD ADVECTION AND EXCELLENT
MOMENTUM TRANSFER. A FEW PROFILES OVER THE WEST SHOWING 60+ KTS IN
THE MIXED LAYER.

DANGEROUS WIND CHILLS REMAIN A CONCERN SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH
MONDAY AND WILL BE IN THE 20 TO 40 BELOW RANGE BY MONDAY MORNING.
THESE WIND CHILLS WILL REQUIRE HEADLINES BUT WILL NEED TO DEAL
WITH THE OTHER CONCERNS FIRST AND WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT THE
WIND CHILLS WITH THE OTHER PRODUCTS. MONDAY NIGHT COULD BE QUITE
COLD AS THE ARCTIC HIGH BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST. TEMPERATURES 15 TO
25 BELOW WILL BE LIKELY OVER AREAS WITH SNOW COVER. SOME
MODERATION BY WEDNESDAY AS THE HIGH SETTLES TO THE SOUTHEAST AND
BRINGING RETURN FLOW.

.AVIATION...25/06Z
ISSUED AT 1126 PM CST FRI JAN 24 2014

VFR CONDITIONS WILL RETURN TO SITES BY 12Z BEHIND -SN/-RASN
PUSHING OUT OF AREA...THOUGH SITES WILL SEE MVFR OR LOWER
CONDITIONS AT TIMES THROUGH 12Z. WINDS WILL REMAIN FROM THE
NORTHWEST AND GUSTY THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. GUSTS WILL DECREASE
NEAR 00Z...AS WINDS SHIFT TO THE SOUTH NEAR 06Z...AHEAD OF ANOTHER
APPROACHING SYSTEM WHICH MAY BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF MVFR OF LOWER
CONDITIONS TO SITES.
