AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
328 PM CDT WED JUL 15 2015

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...
ISSUED AT 327 PM CDT WED JUL 15 2015

CHALLENGING FORECAST FOR THE OVERNIGHT. TWO DISTINCT VORTICITY
MAXIMUM OVER THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON...ONE ASSOCIATED WITH THE
H500 SHORTWAVE IN EASTERN NEBRASKA AND THE OTHER FARTHER SOUTH OVER
NORTHWEST MISSOURI. TO COMPLICATE MATTERS A WEAK SFC LOW AND TROUGH
EXTEND FROM SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA TO NORTHEAST IOWA. SYNOPTIC SCALE
MODELS HAVE BEEN FAIRLY CONSISTENT WITH FORCING INCREASING OVER
WEST CENTRAL TO NORTHEAST IOWA BY 12Z...FOCUSING AN EXPANDING AREA
OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL IN THIS LOCATION. OF THESE THE EURO
HAS TRENDED SLIGHTLY FARTHER SOUTH WITH WIDESPREAD COVERAGE OF
RAINFALL. THE HRRR IS CONCENTRATING THE LIONS SHARE OF FORCING
OVER SOUTHERN IOWA TONIGHT...RIGHT ON THE NORTHERN EDGE OF MORE
ROBUST INSTABILITY. WITH BOTH VORT MAXES PLAYING A ROLE IN THE
OVERNIGHT FORECAST...IT LOOKS LIKE AN AREA OF MODERATE TO
POTENTIALLY LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL OCCUR FROM WEST CENTRAL
TOWARD NORTHEAST WITH A SECONDARY MAXIMUM OVER THE SOUTHERN
SECTIONS SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80...EAST TO ABOUT I35 AGAIN THIS
AREA COULD SEE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. WITH THE MAXIMUM
INSTABILITY SOUTH OF IOWA NOW...THE SOUTHERN AREAS SHOULD FILL IN
LATER THIS EVENING AS THE H850 LOW LEVEL JET OF 30 TO 40KT
INCREASES AFTER 03-04Z. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO
INCREASE TO NEARLY 2 INCHES BY 06Z OVER MUCH OF THE REGION WITH
WARM CLOUD DEPTHS IN EXCESS OF 13KFT...PROMOTING EFFICIENT
RAINFALL PROCESSES. THE DAY1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK HAS BEEN INCREASED
FOR A SLIGHT RISK ACROSS THE SOUTH WITH SOME POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE
STORMS SOUTHWEST/WEST THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS...THOUGH MAIN
CONCERNS REMAIN POTENTIAL FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. WITH FLASH
FLOOD GUIDANCE BETWEEN 2 TO 3 INCHES PER 3 HOURS OVER THE
WEST/SOUTHWEST...WE MAY SEE SOME LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING OVER
PORTIONS OF WESTERN/SOUTHWEST SECTIONS TONIGHT. FOR NOW HAVE HELD
OFF ON HEADLINES DUE TO SOME UNCERTAINTIES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF
CONVECTION AND EVENTUAL EVOLUTION. LOWS WILL HOLD IN THE UPPER 60S
TO LOWER 70S WITH UNCOMFORTABLE DEW POINTS NEAR THE SAME VALUES.
WINDS WILL INCREASE A BIT FROM THE SOUTH DURING THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS.

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
ISSUED AT 327 PM CDT WED JUL 15 2015

THE STORM SYSTEM SET TO AFFECT THE AREA TONIGHT...AS DISCUSSED AT
LENGTH IN THE SHORT TERM SECTION ABOVE...WILL CLEAR OUT TO THE
EAST ON THURSDAY MORNING. LARGE SCALE MODELS ARE A BIT SLOWER WITH
THIS CLEARING...WHILE THE HIGH RESOLUTION MODELS ARE SOMEWHAT
FASTER WHICH IS MORE CONSISTENT WITH CLIMATOLOGY IN THIS SYNOPTIC
SET UP. FURTHERMORE THERE ARE INDICATIONS THAT A WEAK UPPER
IMPULSE MOVING IN BEHIND THE INITIAL WAVE...COMBINED WITH
AFTERNOON DESTABILIZATION AND LINGERING OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM
MORNING CONVECTION...MAY LEAD TO SOME ISOLATED STORM REDEVELOPMENT
LATE IN THE DAY OR THURSDAY EVENING. AS A RESULT OF ALL OF THESE
FACTORS...MAINTAINED A FAIRLY RAPID CLEARING OF HIGHER POPS TO THE
EAST ON THURSDAY MORNING BUT HELD SOME LOWER POPS BACK IN THE
SOUTH AND WEST AT TIMES MAINLY THURSDAY EVENING. ALSO MAINTAINED
SOME FOG MENTION LATE THURSDAY NIGHT/EARLY FRIDAY MORNING GIVEN
THE LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS EXPECTED ALONG WITH CLEARING SKIES
AND WET GROUND/HIGH DEWPOINTS.

BY FRIDAY SOUTHERLY SURFACE WINDS WILL RETURN TO THE AREA...WITH
500 MB FLOW TURNING TO WEST SOUTHWEST AND A FRONTAL BOUNDARY
DEVELOPING WELL TO OUR NORTHWEST ACROSS SOUTH DAKOTA AND
MINNESOTA. THIS BOUNDARY WILL LIKELY PROVIDE THE IMPETUS FOR
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT FRIDAY EVENING AND FRIDAY NIGHT...BUT
THIS SHOULD LARGELY STAY NORTH OF OUR FORECAST AREA. ALSO...THERE
MAY BE SOME PEAK HEATING STORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS OUR AREA IN THE
WARM SECTOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...HOWEVER A GENERAL LACK
OF FORCING OR FOCUS MECHANISM PROHIBIT INTRODUCING POPS AT THIS
TIME. FRIDAY WILL ALSO SEE A RETURN OF MORE HEAT AND HUMIDITY...AS
LOW LEVEL WARM AIR AND MOISTURE ADVECTION BENEATH INCREASING
TEMPERATURES ALOFT PROMOTE HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 90S WITH
HEAT INDEX VALUES APPROACHING 100 LATE IN THE DAY. SATURDAY WILL
BE QUITE SIMILAR...WITH HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS AND A LOW CHANCE
OF WARM SECTOR THUNDERSTORMS THAT WOULD BE ISOLATED IF THEY
DEVELOP.

FROM SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT THE FORECAST WILL BE
DOMINATED BY THE APPROACH AND PASSAGE OF THE AFOREMENTIONED
FRONTAL BOUNDARY FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST. A WARM AND VERY
UNSTABLE AIRMASS AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL PROMOTE VIGOROUS
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT PARTICULARLY SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...WITH BULK SHEAR FORECASTS CERTAINLY SUPPORTING SOME
SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WITH THE ADVANCING FRONTAL ZONE.
HOWEVER...SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES IN THE TIMING OF THIS PASSAGE
REMAIN AMONG THE VARIOUS MODELS. THE ECMWF HAS BEEN STICKING TO
ITS GUNS FOR THE LAST THREE RUNS WITH A MUCH FASTER PASSAGE AND
THE GFS HAS BEEN SLOWLY COMING AROUND IN THAT DIRECTION. IF THIS
OCCURS...IT WOULD RESULT IN SOMEWHAT COOLER HIGHS SUNDAY AND SHIFT
ANY SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL MORE ACROSS SOUTHERN AND EASTERN IOWA
RATHER THAN FURTHER NORTHWEST. FOR NOW THE UNCERTAINTY IN THIS
EVOLUTION RESULTS IN SEVERAL PERIODS OF CHANCE POPS WITH NO
LIKELIES INTRODUCED AS OF YET...BUT ONCE THE DETAILS OF TIMING
BECOME CLEARER THEN HIGHER POPS WILL NEED TO BE INTRODUCED IN ONE
OR MORE OF THE PERIODS FROM SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY
NIGHT...AND SUNDAY HIGH TEMPERATURES MAY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED
FURTHER AS WELL.

AS ROUGHLY ZONAL STEERING FLOW PERSISTS INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK
TEMPERATURES BEHIND THE SUNDAY COOL FRONT WILL SLOWLY MODERATE AND
LOW RAIN CHANCES WILL PERSIST. GIVEN THE DIFFICULTY IN PREDICTING
ANY SUBTLE IMPULSES TYPICALLY MOVING THROUGH SUCH FLOW AT THIS
TIME RANGE...HAVE MAINTAINED ONLY LOW POPS AT TIMES IN THE LATTER
PART OF THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD.
