AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
1246 PM CDT SAT MAY 10 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 635 AM CDT SAT MAY 10 2014

WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY FROM LOW OVER CENTRAL SD WILL LIFR NORTH
TODAY AS LOW LIFTS NORTHEAST. TROUGH FROM THE LOW WILL PUSH INTO
IA LATE TODAY AND TONIGHT AND DISSIPATE. LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP
OVER WRN KS TONIGHT AND TRACK ACROSS IA SUNDAY NIGHT. COOL HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE CENTRAL U.S. TUE THROUGH MIDWEEK.

&&

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 635 AM CDT SAT MAY 10 2014

UPDATED FORECAST COMING OUT FOR SHOWERS AND FASTER TIMING
CONSIDERATIONS WITH SHOWERS IN WESTERN INTO CENTRAL IOWA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TODAY/...
ISSUED AT 409 AM CDT SAT MAY 10 2014

HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE OVER EASTERN IOWA WILL CONTINUE EAST AFTER A
CHILLY START TO THE MORNING. PLENTY OF READINGS IN THE UPPER 30S
TO LOWER 40S. WAA WILL SET IN TODAY AND AC DECK HAS ALREADY
BECOME ESTABLISHED OVER WRN IOWA AS MID LEVEL WAA GETS GOING.
SHOWERS OVER ERN NEBRASKA WILL WORK INTO WRN IOWA THIS MORNING
WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD FORM MIDDAY
INTO THE AFTERNOON. WENT FAIRLY CLOSE TO GUIDANCE FOR MAX TEMPS
TODAY. WILL BE A LITTLE TRICKY WITH THE CLOUDS AND POTENTIAL
PRECIP HOWEVER. THE COOL START IS OF CONCERN...BUT THE LAYER OF
COOL AIR IS QUITE SHALLOW AND SHOULD ERODE FAIRLY QUICKLY.

.LONG TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
ISSUED AT 409 AM CDT SAT MAY 10 2014

FORECAST WAS FOCUSED ON SEVERE OUTBREAK POTENTIAL AND HEAVY RAIN
SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY EVENING ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL IOWA. SEVERE
POTENTIAL...OR AT LEAST WIDESPREAD NATURE...DEPENDS ON OVERNIGHT
CONVECTION TONIGHT INTO EARLY SUNDAY MORNING AND HOW FAR NORTH
FRONTAL BOUNDARY SURGES DURING THE DAY SUNDAY. LEANED TOWARDS
THE SREF FOR POPS SUNDAY...THEN MORE TOWARDS THE NAM12/GFS SUNDAY
NIGHT INTO MONDAY.

TONIGHT INTO MONDAY...500MB TROUGH DIGS INTO THE WESTERN U.S.
TONIGHT AND ALLOWS FOR SOUTHWEST FLOW TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE STATE
INTO SUNDAY. FIRST SHORTWAVE LOOKS TO TRACK NORTH-NORTHEAST THIS
EVENING AND PRECIP LOOKS TO QUICKLY DISSIPATE OR BE CONFINED TO THE
FAR NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA BY 06Z SUNDAY. STRONG
SURGE OF THETA-E ADVECTION AND MOISTURE TRANSPORT PUNCHES INTO
SOUTHERN IOWA OVERNIGHT TONIGHT INTO EARLY SUNDAY MORNING AND
CONTINUES TO QUICKLY PUSH NORTHWARD BY THROUGH MIDDAY OR EARLY
AFTERNOON SUNDAY. THE 10.00Z 4KM NSSL WRF REMAINS DRY THROUGH 12Z
SUNDAY ACROSS THE STATE...AND IF THIS SCENARIO PLAYS OUT...THEN
CENTRAL TO SOUTHERN IOWA LOOKS TO MORE UNDER THE GUN FOR SEVERE
WEATHER BY THE AFTERNOON AS LACK OF RAIN COOLED AIR/CLOUD COVER
SHOULD ONLY EXACERBATE THE INSTABILITY. THE 06Z MODEL RUNS ARE
HINTING ON THIS DRIER SCENARIO TONIGHT AS WELL AS BOTH THE
GFS/NAM HAVE TREMENDOUS INSTABILITY ACROSS SOUTHERN IOWA BY THE
AFTERNOON. THE SURFACE LOW LOOKS TO TRACK ALONG THE MISSOURI/IOWA
BORDER TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND WITH THE WARM FRONT ORIENTING
ITSELF WEST-TO-EAST ACROSS THE STATE...ALONG WITH THE IMPRESSIVE
HODOGRAPHS AND LOW LEVEL SHEAR...ALL POINT TO A FAVORABLE
ENVIRONMENT FOR SUPERCELLS AND TORNADIC DEVELOPMENT SUNDAY
AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. WITH THIS SET UP...CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO
MENTION SEVERE WORDING DURING SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

OTHER MAIN CONCERN WAS FOCUSED ON HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING
POTENTIAL SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY MORNING. SURFACE DEW
POINTS INCREASE TO MID 60S TO AROUND 70 ON SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT
AND MOISTURE TRANSPORT CONTINUES TO PUMP INTO THE STATE AHEAD THE
COLD FRONT THAT LOOKS TO FINALLY DRAG THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA
BY MONDAY AFTERNOON. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES RANGE FROM 1.5 TO
NEAR 2 INCHES OVER MUCH OF THE STATE AND THE WARM LAYER CLOUD
DEPTHS EXCEED 12KFT OR SLIGHTLY HIGHER. INSERTED HEAVY RAIN
SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING OVER CENTRAL TO SOUTHERN IOWA. THE
COLD FRONT CLEARS THE STATE MONDAY EVENING...BUT LIKELY TO SEE
SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS IN THE CAA THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING.

TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...ANOTHER COLD PERIOD IN STORE THROUGH THE
WEEK AS TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM 10 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.
WEAK CLIPPER SYSTEM CUTS ACROSS MINNESOTA/IOWA ON TUESDAY AND
REINFORCES THE COLD AIR MASS AND BRINGS SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS ON
TUESDAY. THE COLDEST NIGHT LOOKS TO BE THURSDAY NIGHT WITH 850MB -2C
LINE DROPPING AS FAR SOUTH AS THE MISSOURI BORDER. TWEAKED MIN TEMPS
DOWN SLIGHTLY THURSDAY NIGHT.

&&

.AVIATION...10/18Z
ISSUED AT 1242 PM CDT SAT MAY 10 2014

SHORTWAVE MOVING ACRS THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING WILL PRODUCE
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. CEILINGS WILL GENERALLY BE
VFR THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS ALTHOUGH MAY BE MVFR
TO IFR IN AND AROUND THUNDERSTORMS. SURFACE WINDS WILL BE FROM THE
SOUTHEAST AND GUSTY FROM TIME TO TIME. OVERNIGHT...ANTICIPATE
WIDESPREAD VFR CONDITIONS FOR MOST LOCATIONS BUT CONVECTION IS
EXPECTED TO EASE INTO SOUTHERN IOWA TOWARD DAYBREAK WITH
INCREASING LOW CIGS AND VSBYS. THIS WILL SLOWLY WORK INTO CENTRAL
IOWA ON SUNDAY MORNING AS CONVECTION SPREADS NORTHEAST INTO THE
STATE.

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