AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
1249 PM CDT MON JUL 27 2015

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 629 AM CDT MON JUL 27 2015

SINCE THE ISSUANCE OF THE MORNING FORECAST THE LATEST MESOANALYSIS
SHOWED THE INSTABILITY AXIS THAT WAS OVER THE MISSOURI VALLEY HAS
BECOME ORIENTED MORE NW/SE IN THE SOUTHWEST PORTION OF THE CWA.
WITH SUNRISE THERE WAS ENOUGH INSTABILITY ALONG THE GRADIENT FOR
ISOLATED STORMS TO DEVELOP. THEY ARE DRIFTING EAST/NORTHEAST AND
AS THEY MOVE INTO A LESS FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT THEY WILL DIMINISH.
STORMS SHOULD BE NORTH OF DES MOINES BUT THERE IS AT LEAST A
COUPLE OF HI-RES MODELS THAT WANT TO DEVELOP SOME STORMS IN A
CORRIDOR FROM DSM TO FOD SO SLIGHT CHANCE POPS WERE ADDED TO
ROUGHLY THAT CORRIDOR THROUGH MID MORNING AND THAT SHOULD BE MORE
THAN GENEROUS BASED ON CURRENT RADAR TRENDS...WHICH SHOW STORMS
FALLING APART AT THIS TIME.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TODAY/...
ISSUED AT 341 AM CDT MON JUL 27 2015

ONCE AGAIN SHORT TERM MODELS ARE NOT VERY GOOD MAKING THE
FORECAST FOR TODAY DIFFICULT. THERE IS A FAIR AMOUNT OF
INSTABILITY TODAY BUT LITTLE TO WEAK FORCING AND NO BOUNDARIES
AROUND SO THERE REALLY ISN'T ANYTHING FOR A FOCUS TO GET
CONVECTION GOING YET THE MODELS ARE FORECASTING CONVECTION TO BE
ALREADY ONGOING ACROSS CENTRAL IOWA THEN WEAKEN IT THROUGH
MORNING. WITH THE POOR INITIALIZATION POPS WILL BE IN ERROR AS
WILL CLOUD COVER AND TEMPS.

PRESENTLY THE INSTABILITY AXIS LIES FROM NW MO ACROSS EASTERN
NEBRASKA INTO SE SOUTH DAKOTA. THE LOW LEVEL JET IS A LITTLE
FURTHER WEST AND GOES FROM SOUTH EVENTUALLY POINTING INTO THE
INSTABILITY AXIS HOWEVER...CONVECTION THAT WAS ONGOING IN THAT
AREA HAS WANED OVERNIGHT. SOME REDEVELOPMENT IS NOTED IN NE
NEBRASKA BUT WILL LIKELY FOLLOW THAT INSTABILITY AXIS AND SHOULD
REMAIN WEST OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING.

FOR THIS AFTERNOON...A TROUGH WILL PUSH ACROSS THE NORTHERN
PLAINS AN A SHORTWAVE WILL EJECT OUT OF THE BASE OF THIS TROUGH
AND RIDE UP THE BACKSIDE OF THE HIGH IN PLACE OVER THE UPPER
MIDWEST. THIS WILL BE WHEN OUR PRECIP CHANCES WILL INCREASE BUT
WILL NOT LIKELY OCCUR UNTIL LATE AFTERNOON OR MORE LIKELY IN THE
EVENING.

THERE SHOULD BE A FAIR AMOUNT OF MID/HIGH LEVEL CLOUD COVER
THROUGH THE DAY MAKING FOR AT LEAST PARTLY SUNNY SKIES WHICH
SHOULD HOLD TEMPS BACK A BIT BUT EVEN WITH CLOUD COVER TEMPS
SHOULD EASILY MAKE IT INTO THE MID TO UPPER 80S AND WITH 70+
DEWPOINTS...IT WILL BE A MUGGY DAY TODAY. AFTER RUNNING MY
APPARENT TEMPS THERE APPEARS TO BE A COUPLE HOUR WINDOW IN THE
AFTERNOON WITH HEAT INDICES AROUND 100 BUT EVERYWHERE ELSE ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA IS WELL BELOW 100. AT THIS POINT A HEAT ADVISORY
IS NOT ANTICIPATED FOR TODAY BECAUSE I MAY BE A LITTLE OVER
ZEALOUS ON TEMPS ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST. WE WILL MONITOR THIS AREA
TO SEE IF CLOUD COVER BREAKS MORE THAN EXPECTED.

.LONG TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
ISSUED AT 341 AM CDT MON JUL 27 2015

PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN IN THE LONG TERM PERIOD REMAINS THE UPPER
LEVEL CYCLONE SWINGING FROM THE NORTHERN ROCKIES UP INTO SOUTHERN
CANADA BETWEEN TONIGHT AND TUESDAY NIGHT...AND THE ATTENDANT
SURFACE COOL FRONT SET TO MOVE ACROSS OUR FORECAST AREA LATE
TUESDAY/TUESDAY NIGHT. TONIGHT A BROAD AREA OF ASCENT ON THE
LEADING FLANK OF THIS SYSTEM WILL OVERSPREAD MOIST AND UNSTABLE
AIR ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS...GENERATING AREAS OF THUNDERSTORMS
PRIMARILY ACROSS THE DAKOTAS AND MINNESOTA. FURTHER SOUTHEAST
ACROSS MUCH OF IOWA WE WILL BE FURTHER DISPLACED FROM THE UPPER
LEVEL SYSTEM AND A RELATIVE LACK OF FORCING AND SURFACE FOCI FOR
CONVECTION SHOULD LIMIT THUNDERSTORM CHANCES...EXCEPT IN OUR
NORTHWEST AND NORTH WHERE WE ARE LIKELY TO BE GRAZED BY THE
SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE AREAS OF THUNDERSTORMS SLIDING UP INTO
MINNESOTA. OF GREATER CONCERN IS THE EXTENT TO WHICH LATE NIGHT
STORMS AND CONVECTIVE DEBRIS MAY INFLUENCE THE FORECAST FOR
TUESDAY.

AS TUESDAY DAWNS THE AFOREMENTIONED SURFACE FRONT WILL STILL BE
DRAPED DOWN EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA AND NEBRASKA...AND WILL BE
RELATIVELY SLOW TO ADVANCE DURING THE DAY DUE TO THE UPPER LEVEL
SYSTEM DEPARTING NORTHEASTWARD INTO CANADA. THERE IS CONSIDERABLE
UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE DEGREE TO WHICH EARLY MORNING CONVECTION
ACROSS OUR AREA MAY BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN ITSELF THROUGH THE
DAY...AND TO WHAT SOUTHWARD EXTENT IT MAY EXIST...WHICH WILL HAVE
SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS ON DAYTIME HEATING AND DESTABILIZATION. HAVE
NUDGED HIGH TEMPERATURES DOWN JUST A BIT...MAINLY ACROSS THE
NORTHWEST HALF...BUT AM HESITANT TO TAKE THEM LOWER AS CONDITIONS
WILL BE RIPE FOR A VERY HOT AND HUMID DAY IF CONVECTIVE DEBRIS
DOES NOT MATERIALIZE ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN AND EASTERN COUNTIES.
FORECAST HEAT INDEX VALUES STILL PEAK AT AROUND 105 DEGREES IN
THESE AREAS...BUT ANY CONSIDERATION OF A HEADLINE WILL NEED TO
WAIT UNTIL CONFIDENCE INCREASES. AT ANY RATE...BY PEAK HEATING
TIME TUESDAY EVENING THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY SHOULD BE LOCATED
SOMEWHERE ACROSS OUR NORTHWEST AND IT IS EXPECTED THAT
THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP RAPIDLY JUST AHEAD OF THE
BOUNDARY...LIKELY ACROSS CENTRAL/EASTERN/NORTHEASTERN IOWA. ANY
STORMS THAT DEVELOP IN THIS ENVIRONMENT WILL BE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING SEVERE WEATHER...AGAIN CONTINGENT ON ANY DAYTIME STORMS
ALLOWING DESTABILIZATION TO OCCUR...AND THIS THREAT IS WELL
OUTLINED BY SPC. THE STORMS WILL ALSO ACT TO ACCELERATE THE
SOUTHEASTWARD MOVEMENT OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WHICH WILL CLEAR
OUT AREA BY AROUND SUNRISE WEDNESDAY AND SUBSEQUENTLY MOVE
SOUTHWARD ACROSS MISSOURI. THEREFORE HAVE MAINTAINED LIKELY POPS
AHEAD OF THE EXPECTED BOUNDARY LOCATION TUESDAY EVENING...BUT
CLEARED THEM OUT RAPIDLY TO THE SOUTHEAST AFTER MIDNIGHT.

FROM WEDNESDAY THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST IOWA WILL
LIE BENEATH NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT...ALLOWING FOR INITIALLY COOL
AND DRY CONDITIONS WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY BUT THEN VARIABLE
TEMPERATURES AND INTERMITTENT THUNDERSTORM CHANCES BY THE END OF
THE WEEK AS GRADUAL AIRMASS MODIFICATION AND DESTABILIZATION OCCUR
AND A SERIES OF SUBTLE SHORTWAVES MOVE THROUGH THE FLOW. CHANCE
POPS REMAIN IN THE FORECAST FOR THE WEEKEND...BUT IT WILL BE
DIFFICULT TO PIN DOWN TIMING/LOCATION/EFFECTS OF ANY STORMS DURING
THIS TIME UNTIL AROUND THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK OR LATER GIVEN THE
DIFFICULTY OF PROGNOSTIC MODELS IN PREDICTING SUCH SUBTLE IMPULSES
MOVING QUICKLY THROUGH NORTHWEST FLOW.

&&

.AVIATION...27/18Z
ISSUED AT 1239 PM CDT MON JUL 27 2015

BAND OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL AFFECT SOUTHERN SITES...KDSM/KOTM...FOR
BEGINNING OF PERIOD. BEHIND SYSTEM WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE
SOUTHEAST AND MVFR CEILINGS ACROSS KMCW WILL LIFT. WAVE LIFTING
NORTH WILL BRING PRECIPITATION CHANCES TO WESTERN SITES NEAR
00Z...THOUGH HAVE LEFT MENTION OUT ATTM. MAY SEE MVFR OR IFR
CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES BEYOND 00Z WITH BOUNDARY PUSHING
SOUTH...ALONG WITH NEXT BEST CHANCES FOR TSRA/SHRA AT SITES...AND
INCREASING WINDS.
