AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
337 PM CST WED FEB 19 2014

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...
ISSUED AT 259 PM CST WED FEB 19 2014

FORECAST CONCERNS OVERNIGHT REVOLVE AROUND PRECIPITATION AND
PRECIPITATION TYPE AS MUCH ANTICIPATED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM BEGINS TO
AFFECT THE REGION. STRONG SURGE OF THETA-E ADVECTION WILL PUSH INTO
SOUTHERN IOWA THROUGHOUT THE OVERNIGHT...BRINGING CHANCES FOR
PRECIPITATION. INITIALLY THERE IS SOME LOW LEVEL DRY AIR TO
OVERCOME...HOWEVER MOISTURE TRANSPORT WILL BE STRONG INTO THE REGION
AND WILL QUICKLY SATURATE. GIVEN CURRENT ONGOING PRECIPITATION IN
CENTRAL KS/MO FEEL HIGH RES MODELS HAVE A GOOD FEEL FOR PROGRESSION
OF PRECIPITATION AND HAVE TRENDED TOWARDS HIGH RES MODELS FOR
TIMING. NEXT CONCERN BECOMES HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL. AMOUNT OF
INSTABILITY AND PWAT VALUES REMAIN SEASONALLY SIGNIFICANT AND EXPECT
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MUCH OF THE SOUTH WHICH COULD HELP TO PROMOTE
HIGH RAINFALL RATES AT TIMES. GIVEN PWATS OF GENERALLY AROUND 0.75
INCHES...WHICH IS NEAR 75TH PERCENTILE FOR FEB...AND MAY BE
HIGHER...COULD SEE HEAVY RAIN...AND HAVE INCLUDED MENTION IN
FORECAST. SEE HYDROLOGY DISCUSSION FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON
FLASH FLOOD AND ICE JAM POTENTIAL.

NEXT FORECAST CHALLENGE IS PRECIPITATION TYPE...ESPECIALLY IN THE
NORTH. FOR MAJORITY OF CWA PRECIPITATION WILL REMAIN RAIN THROUGH
THE NIGHT...THOUGH SOUNDINGS INDICATE POTENTIAL FOR WINTRY MIX
ACROSS NORTHERN IOWA...ESPECIALLY TOWARDS THE EARLY MORNING HOURS.
SOUNDINGS ARE INDICATING FAIRLY GOOD SATURATION THROUGH
COLUMN...WITH TEMPERATURES GENERALLY WITHIN A RANGE TO KEEP
PRECIPITATION OF THE SAME TYPE...WHETHER RAIN OR SNOW.
HOWEVER...BEFORE SATURATION OCCURS MAY SEE BRIEF PERIODS OF FREEZING
RAIN POSSIBLE WITHOUT ICE INTRODUCTION BEFORE CHANGING. IN
ADDITION...MAY SEE BRIEF PERIODS OF FREEZING RAIN OR SLEET AS
CONDITIONS COOL. GIVEN GENERALLY HIGH CONFIDENCE IN PRECIPITATION
REMAINING PRIMARILY RAIN OR SNOW OR RAIN/SNOW MIX WITH ONLY ISOLATED
AND BRIEF PERIODS OF ANY WINTRY MIX EXPECTED HAVE OPTED TO NOT ISSUE
ADDITIONAL HEADLINES ATTM BEFORE BLIZZARD WARNING TAKES
EFFECT...THOUGH WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED.

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
ISSUED AT 259 PM CST WED FEB 19 2014

MODELS ARE COMING INTO AGREEMENT WITH THE EVOLUTION OF THE STORM
SYSTEM. NAM WAS ACTUALLY THE ODD MODEL OUT THIS MORNING WITH
ECMWF...GEM...RGEM...AND GFS PRETTY MUCH TOGETHER. THE 18Z NAM HAS
ARRIVED AND OTHER THAN A SLIGHT EWD SHIFT IN THE SNOW BAND...IS
CLOSE TO THE PACK NOW. WILL BEGIN THE SYSTEM AS MIXED RAIN AND
SNOW WEST AND RAIN EAST WITH TRANSITION ADVANCING EAST AS DURING
THE DAY. IT WILL BE TO THE I-35 CORRIDOR 16 TO 18Z AND ACROSS THE
CWA BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL BE THE ISSUE WITH THE
SNOW. THOUGH 5 TO 9 INCH TOTALS ARE NOT EXTREME...WITH THE WINDS
THE BLIZZARD WARNING IS SUPPORTED. SOUTH OF THE BLIZZARD WARNING
HAVE ISSUED A WINTER STORM WARNING AND AN ADVISORY SOUTH OF THAT
PROBLEM WITH THE STORM IS IT IS A SPRING STORM AND SURFACE
TEMPERATURES WILL BE FREEZING OR A LITTLE ABOVE THROUGH THE EVENT
IN MOST AREAS. THAT WILL LIMIT THE BLOWING POTENTIAL AND MAY KEEP
VISIBILITY ABOVE A QUARTER MILE MUCH OF THE TIME. STILL...THERE
WILL BE A PERIOD OF HEAVY SNOWFALL CLOSE TO THE CHANGE OVER LINE
AND THAT ITSELF WILL TAKE VISIBILITY DOWN. THE REST OF THE
FORECASTIS RELATIVELY QUITE. A WEAK SYSTEM PUSHES THROUGH ON MON
ALONG THE ARCTIC FRONT AND WILL BRING A CHANCE OF LIGHT SNOW.
AFTER THAT TEMPERATURES TANK WELL BELOW NORMAL FOR THE REST OF THE
FORECAST.

ISSUED AT 1125 AM CST WED FEB 19 2014

CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN VFR THOUGH 00Z...WITH INCREASING LOW VFR
CEILINGS AT SOUTHERN SITES KDSM/KOTM NEAR 06Z AHEAD OF APPROACHING
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BRING RA AND TS
CHANCES TO SOUTHERN SITES OVERNIGHT...PUSHING FURTHER NORTH ALONG
WITH MVFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES. ANOTHER BAND OF PRECIP WILL
PUSH EAST FROM NE LATE IN THE PERIOD...WITH RA CHANGING TO SN AT
MOST SITES BY 18Z. WILL SEE VISIBILITIES AND CEILINGS REDUCED TO
IFR OR LOWER AT TIMES AT SITES. WINDS WILL INCREASE BEYOND
18Z...WHICH WILL LEAD TO AREAS OF BLSN WHICH COULD CONTINUE TO
CAUSE IFR OR LOWER VISIBILITIES AND CEILINGS.

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 259 PM CST WED FEB 19 2014

HYDRO-RELATED CONCERNS INVOLVE TWO ASPECTS...FIRST THE POTENTIAL FOR
FLASH FLOODING...AND SECOND...THE POTENTIAL FOR RIVER ICE JAMS AND
ASSOCIATED FLOODING. THE GEOGRAPHIC AREA OF CONCERN IS SOUTH OF I-80
AND EAST OF I-35 FOR BOTH ASPECTS.

THE COMBINATION OF SEASONALLY MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL ON THURSDAY
ALONG WITH FROZEN GROUND MAY LEAD TO SIGNFICANT RUNOFF IN SOME
LOCATIONS. THUS LOCALIZED FLOODING MAY RESULT. THE TIMING WOULD BE
DURING THE DAY ON THURSDAY. AT THIS TIME THE CONFIDENCE IN FLASH
FLOODING IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO WARRANT A FLASH FLOOD WATCH AT THIS
TIME. NEVERTHELESS...SOME ISOLATED LOCATIONS MAY SEE PONDING OF
WATER.

THE SECOND ASPECT OF CONCERN IS POTENTIAL ICE JAM ACTIVITY AND
POSSIBLE MINOR FLOODING ON STREAMS...AGAIN SOUTH OF I-80 AND EAST OF
I-35. THE TIMING WOULD BE FROM MIDDAY THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT.
WE ALREADY SAW ICE JAM ACTIVITY IN THIS AREA ON WEDNESDAY
EVENING...ALTHOUGH STREAM LEVELS REMAINED WELL WITHIN BANK. RUNOFF
FROM THURSDAY/S RAINFALL WILL PUSH THE STREAM LEVELS HIGHER...WITH
ICE JAMS POSSIBLY RESULTING IN LOCALLY HIGHER LEVELS. AS WITH THE
FLASH FLOODING POTENTIAL...THE CONFIDENCE IN RIVER FLOODING
OCCURRING IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO WARRANT A FLOOD WATCH AT THIS TIME.
NEVERTHELESS...SOME LOCAL AREAS MAY SEE SIGNIFICANT WITHIN-BANK
RISES AS WELL AS LOCALIZED FLOODING. IF FLOODING DID OCCUR...THE
WORST CASE SCENARIO WOULD INVOLVE MINOR FLOODING.
