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

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...
ISSUED AT 345 PM CDT TUE JUN 3 2014

SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER EVENT EXPECTED LATE THIS AFTERNOON
THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING WITH AN INTENSE HP SUPERCELL MOVING ALONG
THE INSTABILITY AXIS INTO IOWA. THE INSTABILITY AXIS HAS LIFTED
FURTHER NORTH INTO IOWA AHEAD OF THIS STORM WHICH COULD LEAD TO
ANOTHER EASTWARD SHIFT IN THE STORM MOTION SOON THAT COULD MOVE THIS
CELL FURTHER INTO CENTRAL IOWA. IN COORDINATION WITH SPC...A HIGH
RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER HAS BEEN ISSUED IN ADVANCE OF THIS CELL.
ADDITIONAL SUPERCELLS ARE LIKELY WITH THE ADVANCING THETA-E
ADVECTION AND THE SFC BOUNDARY OVER SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA AND NORTHERN
MISSOURI WHERE MIXED LAYER CAPE VALUES HAVE INCREASED TO OVER 2500
J/KG. EFFECTIVE DEEP LAYER SHEAR VALUES OF 50 TO 70 KTS WILL BE
SUFFICIENT FOR THESE SUPERCELLS TO BE THE PRIMARY MODE INITIALLY.
THIS INITIAL ROUND OF STORMS WILL PUSH THROUGH.

EXPECT RATHER QUICK DESTABILIZATION AGAIN BEHIND THE STORMS AS THE
LOW LEVEL JET OF 65+ KTS INCREASES THROUGH THE EVENING AND FOCUSES
INTO IOWA. THE INSTABILITY AXIS WILL BE FOCUSED OVER THE STATE AS
THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE LIFTS NORTHEAST INTO SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA AND
INTO SOUTHWEST IOWA. WILL KEEP A DAMAGING WIND THREAT WITH 50 TO 60
KTS OF WIND JUST OFF THE SFC. WITH SATURATING PROFILES THE HAIL
THREAT WILL DECREASE HOWEVER EFFECTIVE SRH VALUES INCREASING TO
EXTREMELY HIGH VALUES OF 300 TO 600 M2/S2 WILL INCREASE THE
POTENTIAL OF MESOVORTICY DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE LEADING EDGE OF ANY
COLD POOL DEVELOPMENT. CERTAINLY POTENTIAL FOR A QLCS DEVELOPING
WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND A FEW TORNADOES POSSIBLE THROUGH 3 AM.
INTENSE RAINFALL RATES REMAIN HIGHLY LIKELY OVERNIGHT WITH RAINFALL
RATES APPROACHING 3 TO 5 INCHES PER HOUR WITH PWAT VALUES INCREASING
TO NEAR 2 INCHES AND WARM CLOUD DEPTHS TO NEAR 13 KFT. SHOULD HAVE
AN AREA WITH TRAINING ELEVATED CELLS JUST NORTH OF THE SFC BOUNDARY
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN INTERSTATE 80 AND HIGHWAY 20 WITH POTENTIAL FOR
WIDESPREAD 2 TO 4 INCHES AND MORE LOCALIZED HIGHER AMOUNTS. THESE
AMOUNTS ALSO POSSIBLE SOUTH BUT WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH MORE SURFACE
BASED CONVECTION AND MORE INTENSE RAIN RATES.

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
ISSUED AT 345 PM CDT TUE JUN 3 2014

ANTICIPATED OVERNIGHT CONVECTION WILL BE PUSHING EAST OF THE CWA
BY THE BEGINNING OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. HAVE CONTINUED TO CUT
BACK ON POPS THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING. BEHIND SYSTEM TEMPERATURES
WILL BE MUCH COOLER...AND WILL REMAIN SO THROUGHOUT THE EXTENDED
WITH TEMPERATURES NEAR OR SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL PUSH INTO THE STATE WITH A WEAK RIDGE...WHICH WILL HELP TO
KEEP PRECIPITATION CHANCES SOUTH AND WEST OF THE AREA THROUGHOUT
THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. WEEKEND WILL SEE ADDITIONAL CHANCES FOR
PRECIPITATION HOWEVER AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKS ACROSS
CANADA AND ASSOCIATED FRONTAL BOUNDARY BEGINS TO AFFECT WESTERN
IOWA BY SATURDAY. IN ADDITION...LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL PUSH EAST
ACROSS KS AND WILL BEGIN TO LIFT BOUNDARY INTO IOWA AS WELL BY
SATURDAY. THEREFORE...HAVE KEPT ONGOING POPS THROUGHOUT THE
WEEKEND. THOUGH WILL LIKELY SEE BEST CHANCES SATURDAY ACROSS
SOUTHERN IOWA...WHILE BEST CHANCES ACROSS WEST AND NORTH WILL COME
LATER. ANOTHER AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL PUSH IN FOR
MONDAY...THOUGH LITTLE MODEL AGREEMENT ON HOW LONG HIGH LINGERS
BEFORE ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKS ACROSS NORTHERN US.

&&

.AVIATION...04/00Z
ISSUED AT 706 PM CDT TUE JUN 3 2014

CONVECTIVE TRENDS WILL OBVIOUSLY BE THE CONCERN THROUGH THE NIGHT.
EXPECT A PROLONGED PERIOD OF VFR THUNDERSTORMS AFFECTING KDSM AND
KOTM WITH MORE INTERMITTENT SHOWERS AND MORE LIMITED THUNDER FARTHER
NORTH. CIGS SHOULD LOWER TO MVFR OR LESS LATER THIS EVENING AND
INTO WED MORNING.  PRECIPITATION MAY NOT DEPART SIGNIFICANTLY
UNTIL WED MORNING WITH VFR IMPROVEMENT NOT LIKELY UNTIL AFTERNOON.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 345 PM CDT TUE JUN 3 2014

IN ADDITION TO THE HEAVY RAINFALL DISCUSSION IN THE SHORT TERM
SECTION...THE INTENSE RAINFALL RATES ARE THE PRIMARY CONCERN LEADING
TO HIGH RUNOFF RATES AS WELL. THIS WILL RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT
PONDING INTO ADDITION TO RISES ALONG SMALLER STREAMS AND CREEKS.
AREAS OF FLASH FLOODING IS EXPECTED ESPECIALLY IN URBAN AREAS AND
LOW LYING AREAS.

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.
