AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
324 PM CDT SAT APR 12 2014

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...
ISSUED AT 324 PM CDT SAT APR 12 2014

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING IS THE
PRIMARY FOCUS. GOOD ENVIRONMENT SET UP FOR SEVERAL SEVERE STORMS
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. HIGH RES MODELS
AND LATEST NEAR STORM ENVIRONMENT WOULD SUGGEST FOCUS FOR
THUNDERSTORM INITIATION WILL BE FROM NEAR WAVERLY TO WATERLOO BACK
WEST TOWARDS FORT DODGE AND SOUTHWEST TO CARROLL AND AUDUBON.
MLCAPES NEAR 2000 J/KG WITH EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR VALUES OF 35 TO 45
WOULD SUPPORT SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT AS THE MID LEVEL CAP DISSOLVES
AS COOLING AND DYNAMIC FORCING ARRIVE WITH THE APPROACH OF A STRONG
SHORT WAVE FROM THE SOUTHWEST. TORNADO POTENTIAL WILL BE LIMITED
GIVEN THE HIGH LCL VALUES IN EXCESS OF 3000 FT AND EFFECTIVE SRH
VALUES LESS THAN 100 M2/S2 WITH SFC WINDS HAVING A WESTERLY
COMPONENT. STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND SOME MID LEVEL DRY AIR
WOULD SUPPORT FAT CAPES AND GOOD VERTICAL ACCELERATION FOR ENHANCED
UPDRAFTS AND VERY LARGE HAIL POTENTIAL UP TO 2 INCHES IN DIAMETER.
DCAPES NEAR 1000 J/KG IN ADDITION TO HAIL ENHANCING COLD POOL
DEVELOPMENT AND DAMAGING WIND THREAT WITH WIND POTENTIAL TO 70 MPH
POSSIBLE.

THUNDERSTORMS WILL GRADUALLY BECOME MORE MULTICELLULAR AS THE ENTIRE
LINE SINKS SOUTHEAST THIS EVENING. THE HAIL AND WIND THREAT WILL
CONTINUE BUT LOWER TO MORE QUARTER SIZED HAIL AND 60 MPH WINDS.
POTENTIAL FOR EFFICIENT RAIN POTENTIAL RAIN DEVELOPING WITH RAINFALL
AMOUNTS IN EXCESS OF ONE INCH IS POSSIBLE. NO HYDROLOGY CONCERNS
OVERALL DUE TO THE DRY WEATHER AND SOIL BUT CERTAINLY HEAVY
DOWNPOURS COULD RESULT IN PONDING. A LULL IN ACTIVITY IS POSSIBLE
AFTER MIDNIGHT BEFORE THE LOW LEVEL JET INCREASES THROUGH EASTERN
KANSAS AND WESTERN MISSOURI WITH MUCAPES APPROACHING 1500 J/KG ALONG
AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80 AFTER 09Z. COULD BE A FEW ELEVATED HAIL
STORMS WITH THIS ACTIVITY.

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
ISSUED AT 324 PM CDT SAT APR 12 2014

AS THE FRONT MOVING THROUGH TONIGHT EXITS TO THE SOUTHEAST
TOMORROW...THE BROAD ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH AN APPROACHING 500 MB
TROUGH AND SUBSTANTIAL ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE IN PLACE WILL ALLOW FOR
WIDESPREAD RAIN AND SOME THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS ABOUT THE SOUTHEAST
HALF ON SUNDAY. HAVE INCREASED POPS AND QPF FURTHER FOR MOST OF THE
AREA ACCORDINGLY. HOWEVER...INSTABILITY WILL BE MUCH LOWER THAN
TODAY AND SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT ANTICIPATED. HEAVY RAIN WILL BE
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY OVER THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST...BUT GIVEN THE
ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS ANY FLOODING SHOULD BE MINIMAL AND LIMITED TO
AREAS THAT ARE ABLE TO RECEIVE RAINFALL AT A RAPID RATE. ALL IN ALL
SUNDAY WILL BE COOL...WINDY...AND VERY WET ACROSS MOST OF IOWA. AS
THE SYSTEM AND PRECIP DEPART TO THE SOUTHEAST ON SUNDAY NIGHT COOLER
AIR SURGING IN BEHIND THE FRONT MAY CAUSE THE RAIN TO CHANGE OVER TO
SNOW FOR A SHORT PERIOD...BUT LITTLE TO NO ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED
GIVEN MARGINAL TEMPERATURES AND LIGHT QPF BY THAT TIME.

FROM MONDAY INTO TUESDAY A MUCH COLDER AIRMASS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
REGION LEADING TO QUIET WEATHER BUT WITH TEMPERATURES WELL BELOW
NORMAL...BOTTOMING OUT ON TUESDAY MORNING WITH LOWS IN THE 20S
STATEWIDE AND A FEW UPPER TEENS POSSIBLE. BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON A
WARMING TREND WILL KICK IN AS SOUTHERLY FLOW RETURNS AHEAD OF A
BROAD TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING OVER THE WESTERN HIGH
PLAINS...COINCIDENT WITH MODEST THERMAL RIDGING ALOFT. BY WEDNESDAY
HIGHS WILL ALREADY BE BACK INTO THE 50S AND LOWER 60S...BUT A COLD
FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED TROUGH WILL BE APPROACHING
FROM THE NORTHWEST. THE FRONT SHOULD NOT AFFECT OUR AREA...OTHER
THAN POSSIBLY THE FAR NORTH/NORTHWEST...DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY
LEADING TO THE AFOREMENTIONED WARM TEMPERATURES. THIS FRONT WILL BE
SPURRED ON BY A 500 MB TROUGH MOVING FROM THE WESTERN INTO THE
CENTRAL CONUS...HOWEVER...THERE HAS BEEN MUCH DEBATE AMONGST THE
LONG RANGE MODELS OVER THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS AS TO HOW THIS 500 MB
TROUGH WILL EVOLVE FROM MIDWEEK INTO NEXT WEEKEND. THE EC CONTINUES
TO REPRESENT A MORE PROGRESSIVE VIEW...WHILE THE GFS AND GEM
STUBBORNLY PERSIST IN A MORE AMPLIFIED AND SLOWER SOLUTION. THE
RESULT IS A HIGH DEGREE OF UNCERTAINTY AND A PROLONGED PERIOD OF
GENERALLY 30 TO 40 POPS ACROSS THE AREA FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE
WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...12/18Z
ISSUED AT 1246 PM CDT SAT APR 12 2014

VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH MID AFTERNOON THEN THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP NEAR KFOD AND KMCW MID TO LATE AFTERNOON THEN
GRADUALLY SETTLE SOUTH OVERNIGHT. A COLD FRONT WILL SETTLE SOUTH
THROUGH THE PERIOD AS WELL WITH PRIMARY PRECIPITATION FOCUSED IN
THE VICINITY OF THE BOUNDARY. AN AREA OF STRATUS WILL DEVELOP
OVERNIGHT WITH MVFR CONDITIONS AND POSSIBLY IFR DEVELOPING.
ANOTHER ROUND OF PRECIPITATION DEVELOPING SUNDAY MORNING. CIGS ARE
EXPECTED TO BECOME IFR TO MVFR WITH BREEZY NORTHEAST WINDS
DEVELOPING TO END THE PERIOD.

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