Area forecast discussion, Jun 3, 1:17 PM CDT, 2 hours 30 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
117 PM CDT TUE JUN 3 2014

.SHORT TERM /TODAY/...
ISSUED AT 407 AM CDT TUE JUN 3 2014

WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL TRAVERSE THE STATE TODAY WITH A QUITE DAY
FOR THE MOST PART.  AS THE AXIS PASSES EAST...MOISTURE RETURN WILL
BE QUITE RAPID WITH THE RETURNING WARM FRONT  WILL SLOW DOWN THE
ONSET OF THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT A LITTLE FROM THE PREVIOUS
FORECAST WITH ONLY THE FAR WESTERN COUNTIES AFFECTED LATE THIS
AFTERNOON.  ONCE INITIATION TAKES PLACE...DEVELOPMENT AND SPREADING
IS EXPECTED TO BE RAPID WITH THE POTENTIAL OF THE FIRST SEVERE
WEATHER TAKING PLACE WITH AN HOUR OR SO OF INITIATION.  WENT A
LITTLE ABOVE MOS TEMPS AGAIN TODAY...FITTING WITH THE TREND OF THE
PAST SEVERAL DAYS.

.LONG TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
ISSUED AT 407 AM CDT TUE JUN 3 2014

MAIN FORECAST CONCERN WAS FOCUSED ON HEAVY RAIN AND SEVERE
WEATHER POTENTIAL TONIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE
03.00Z MODEL RUNS ARE IN BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF
THE NAM BEING THE FARTHEST NORTH WITH THE HEAVY PRECIP SHIELD
TONIGHT. UTILIZED A GFS/ECMWF/SREF BLEND TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY
AS THE 03.00Z NAM REMAINS THE OUTLIER. HOWEVER...THE 03.06Z HAS
COME INTO A LITTLE BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THE 03.00Z GFS/ECMWF.

TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...STRONG 500MB SHORTWAVE WILL EJECT OUT
OF THE CENTRAL ROCKIES AND QUICKLY PUSH EAST THROUGH THE CENTRAL
PLAINS TODAY. THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW WILL DEVELOP OVER WESTERN
NE/WESTERN KS/EASTERN CO TODAY WITH A WARM FRONT EXTENDING FROM
NORTHEAST NE THROUGH CENTRAL IOWA. CUT BACK ON TIMING OF POPS
TONIGHT AS INITIATION LOOKS BE AROUND 21Z TO 00Z IN FAR NORTHEAST
NE AND SOUTHEAST SD BUT WILL QUICKLY MOVE INTO WESTERN IOWA
BETWEEN 00Z AND 03Z WEDNESDAY. PER 06Z SPC DISCUSSION...AGREE
WITH THE MAIN SEVERE THREAT BEING DAMAGING WINDS AS STORMS LOOK TO
EVOLVE INTO BOWING SEGMENTS AS THEY WILL FOLLOW THE INSTABILITY
AXIS ORIENTED EAST-SOUTHEAST ACROSS CENTRAL TO SOUTHERN IOWA
TONIGHT. 0-3KM SHEAR VALUES IN THE 40 TO 50 KNOT RANGE AND THE
DEEP LAYER SHEAR FROM 50 TO NEAR 75 KNOTS BY LATE THIS EVENING.
CERTAINLY LARGE HAIL WILL ACCOMPANY THIS STRONG WIND AND CANNOT
RULE OUT THE TORNADO THREAT WITH THE HODOGRAPH DEPICTING THE
CLASSIC SICKLE SHAPE BY AROUND 01Z TONIGHT AT CRL. HAVE SEVERE
THREAT MENTIONED ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-80 THROUGH 06Z TONIGHT
BEFORE STORMS TRANSITION INTO MORE OF A HEAVY RAIN THREAT AND
CONFIDENCE DECREASES OVERNIGHT WITH THE SEVERE POTENTIAL.

AS MENTIONED...IN ADDITION TO THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT...VERY
HEAVY RAIN IS HIGHLY LIKELY. IMPRESSIVE MOISTURE TRANSPORT AND
ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE ALONG THE 305K TO 315K ISENTROPIC SURFACE
TONIGHT INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS INTO CENTRAL IOWA. STRONG
THETA-E ADVECTION BETWEEN THE SURFACE TO 700MB AND CORFIDI
VECTORS WOULD SUGGEST TRAINING THUNDERSTORMS BY LATE THIS EVENING
INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. WARM LAYER CLOUD DEPTHS INCREASE TO
12500FT TO JUST OVER 13KFT SOUTH OF I-80 WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER
IN THE 1.5 TO 2.25 INCHES. VERY EFFICIENT RAIN PRODUCERS
ANTICIPATED TONIGHT INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND ISSUED FLASH
FLOOD WATCH FOR THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA.

THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY...COOLER AND DRIER CONDITIONS EXPECTED ON
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY BEFORE ANOTHER SHORTWAVE AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE
LOW PUSH ACROSS THE CENTRAL U.S. ECMWF AND GFS ARE IN DECENT
AGREEMENT WITH THE TIMING...BUT THE GFS IS A BIT FURTHER NORTH WITH
SURFACE LOW TRACK.

&&

.AVIATION...03/18Z
ISSUED AT 109 PM CDT TUE JUN 3 2014

PRIMARY AVIATION THREAT THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL BE THUNDERSTORM
POTENTIAL AND LOCATIONS AND STRONG THUNDERSTORM WINDS OVER THE
SOUTH. VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON WITH
THUNDERSTORMS BECOMING MORE WIDESPREAD THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT.
POTENTIAL FOR MVFR/IFR STRATUS TO LINGER POST CONVECTION THROUGH
WEDNESDAY MORNING.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 407 AM CDT TUE JUN 3 2014

PRECIPITATION RATES OF 3 TO 5 INCHES PER HOUR WILL BE WIDESPREAD
ACROSS CENTRAL TO SOUTHERN IOWA LATE THIS EVENING. QPF AMOUNTS
LOOK TO RANGE IN THE 2 TO 4 INCHES IN A SHORT TIME FRAME. COULD
POSSIBLY SEE A FEW ISOLATED 5 INCH OR GREATER AMOUNTS AS WELL.
THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH BEGINS AT 01Z WEDNESDAY AND ENDS AT 13Z
WEDNESDAY. FROM 03Z TO 09Z IS THE PERIOD OF HIGHEST CONFIDENCE
WHEN THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL WILL OCCUR. POTENTIALLY COULD SEE
WIDESPREAD FLASH FLOODING ISSUES OVER CENTRAL TO SOUTHERN IOWA.

SMALLER STREAMS AND CREEKS TYPICALLY PRONE TO FLASH FLOODING ARE
LIKELY TO SEE MUCH OF THIS RAINFALL TONIGHT. ESPECIALLY IN THE DES
MOINES AREA WHERE THE WALNUT CREEK AND FOURMILE CREEK HAVE HAD
HISTORY OF RISING RAPIDLY. OTHER POTENTIAL SMALLER CREEKS/STREAMS
WOULD INCLUDE THE MUCHAKINOCK CREEK...WHITE BREAST CREEK...EAST FORK
102 RIVER...THOMPSON RIVER...AND THE CHARITON RIVER TO NAME A FEW.
