AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
316 PM CDT TUE MAY 20 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 302 PM CDT TUE MAY 20 2014

COLD FRONT ACROSS IOWA WILL MOVE SOUTH OF THE STATE BY WED MORNING
AND BECOME STATIONARY TO THE SOUTH. HIGH PRESSURE EXPECTED TO
RIDGE INTO THE NORTH CENTRAL U.S. AND SETTLE OVER THE GREAT LAKES
BY THE WEEKEND. HIGH WILL FINALLY MOVE OFF SUNDAY WITH A
DEVELOPING FRONTAL SYSTEM IN THE ROCKIES MOVING TOWARD THE AREA
SUNDAY AND MONDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...
ISSUED AT 302 PM CDT TUE MAY 20 2014

BRIEF WINDOW FOR SEVERE CONVECTION LATE AFTERNOON INTO
THE EARLY EVENING HOURS AS STORMS WILL BE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON
DAYTIME HEATING. FRONT REMAINS LAID UP ACROSS CENTRAL IOWA AND IS
ORIENTED FROM SW IOWA TOWARDS WATERLOO. VERY LITTLE...IF ANY SURFACE
CONVERGENCE OVER CENTRAL IOWA...WITH SOME CONVERGENCE PRESENT ACROSS
SOUTHWEST IOWA. AS OF 19Z...CAP IS BEGINNING TO SHOW SIGNS OF
ERODING AND MUCAPE VALUES HAVE INCREASED TO 2000 J/KG ACROSS
CENTRAL TO SOUTHERN IOWA. HOWEVER...THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO 0-1KM BULK
SHEAR PRESENT AND THE DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS MARGINAL FOR SUSTAINABLE
UPDRAFTS. DCAPE VALUES RANGE FROM 900 TO 1100 J/KG ALONG AND SOUTH
OF THE FRONT...SO DOWNBURST THREAT IS VIABLE. IF STORMS DO
DEVELOP...STILL ANTICIPATING THE MAIN THREAT TO BE LARGE HAIL AND
DAMAGING WINDS. THE 20.15Z HOPWRF KEEPS CONVECTION INITIATION IN
EASTERN IOWA...WHILE THE 20.17Z HRRR IS MORE BULLISH WITH THE
CONVECTION DEVELOPING OVER WESTERN IOWA. THE SPC 20.12Z 4KM WRF
SEEMED LIKE A DECENT BLEND BETWEEN THE TWO. REGARDLESS...AS
MENTIONED...STORMS WILL BE HIGHLY SUNSHINE DEPENDENT AND NOT
EXPECTING CONVECTION TO LAST MUCH LATER THAN 02Z...WINDOW OF SEVERE
WEATHER OPPORTUNITY WILL BE FROM 21Z TO 02Z. HAVE SEVERE MENTION FOR
LIKELY POPS DURING THE AFOREMENTIONED TIME FRAME AND WENT DRY PAST
06Z TONIGHT FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA.

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
ISSUED AT 302 PM CDT TUE MAY 20 2014

HIGH PRESSURE WILL NOSE INTO IOWA ON WEDNESDAY AND DOMINATE THE
WEATHER ACROSS THE STATE THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK. HIGH IS
LIKELY TO BECOME ANCHORED FOR A WHILE OVER THE COLD GREAT LAKES.
TYPICAL OF THIS TIME OF THE YEAR...BUT EVEN MORE LIKELY THIS YEAR
GIVEN THE COLDER THAN NORMAL WATER TEMPS AND THE PATTERN NOT IN AN
OVERLY PROGRESSIVE STATE.

AS THE HIGH BEGINS TO MOVE OFF AND LOSE ITS INFLUENCE
THUNDERSTORMS THAT WILL BE BRUSHING THE FAR SOUTHWEST PART OF IOWA
WILL BEGIN ADVANCING EAST. MODELS HAVE COME INTO CLOSER AGREEMENT
WITH THE OVERALL PROGRESSION. UPPER LOW WILL IMPINGE ON THE UPPER
RIDGE ADVERTISED IN THE MODELS IS ACCEPTED. A MILD AND WET PERIOD
IS ON TAP LOOKING AT THE BULK OF NEXT WEEK WITH THE SLOW MOVING
UPPER SYSTEM AND A NEGATIVE PNA SETTING UP.

&&

.AVIATION...20/18Z
ISSUED AT 1227 PM CDT TUE MAY 20 2014

MAIN CONCERN IS WITH CONVECTION DEVELOPING LATE THIS AFTERNOON
INTO THE EVENING HOURS AND WHICH TAF SITE IT WILL AFFECT. HAVE
THUNDER MENTIONED AT DSM/ALO/OTM PAST 23Z TODAY WITH THE BETTER
CHANCE OF STORMS AT ALO AND OTM. HOWEVER WITH THE ISOLATED NATURE
ANTICIPATED...LOW CONFIDENCE IN TIMING. OTHERWISE...KEPT
CONDITIONS VFR THROUGH TOMORROW.

&&

.DMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.
