Area forecast discussion, Jun 25, 4:15 AM CDT, 52 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA 415 AM CDT THU JUN 25 2015 .SHORT TERM /TODAY/... ISSUED AT 355 AM CDT THU JUN 25 2015 A SURFACE LOW WILL GRADUALLY MAKE ITS WAY ACROSS SOUTHERN IOWA THROUGH 18Z DRAGGING A FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS SOUTHERN IOWA BEFORE IT SINKS SOUTH INTO NORTHERN MISSOURI FOR THE AFTERNOON HOURS. LINGERING STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE MAINLY ACROSS THE EAST CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST PORTIONS OF CENTRAL IOWA THROUGH MID MORNING BEFORE PUSHING EAST. WE WILL SEE A BIT OF A REPRIEVE THURSDAY AFTERNOON AS CENTRAL IOWA WILL BE IN BETWEEN SYSTEMS. HOWEVER...THAT BEING SAID THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TO WHERE THAT FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL ACTUALLY END UP. IF IT ENDS UP IN OR NEARER TO FAR SOUTHERN IOWA...THEN THUNDERSTORMS ARE CERTAINLY A STILL A POSSIBILITY THERE IN THE AFTERNOON. AT THE PRESENT TIME CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO INCLUDE MUCH MORE THAT A SLIGHT CHANCE OF POPS ACROSS THE FAR SOUTH BUT ALSO NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO GO DRY GIVEN MOST OF THE HI-RES SHORT TERM AND CONVECTIVE MODELS DO DRIBBLE STORMS ACROSS FAR SOUTHERN IOWA IN THE AFTERNOON. .LONG TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... ISSUED AT 355 AM CDT THU JUN 25 2015 GENERAL PERIOD WAS SPENT ON CURRENT WEATHER AND DID NOT INTRODUCE ANY MAJOR CHANGES TO THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. A BRIEF LULL IN THE WEATHER BEFORE A VIGOROUS SHORT WAVE ARRIVES TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY THAT WILL HELP BRING A SHIFT TO NORTHWEST FLOW TO THE REGION WHILE A LARGE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS TO THE WEST. THE BOUNDARY THAT HAS BEEN MOVING SOUTH THROUGH THE STATE THIS MORNING WILL STALL ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI. THEREFORE THE HIGH PWAT VALUES WILL NOT DROP TOO FAR SOUTH BEFORE THE NEXT SYSTEM ARRIVES. WITH VERY HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS THE AREA THE PAST 24 HOURS...WILL HAVE SOME FLASH FLOODING CONCERNS AGAIN WITH PWATS INCREASING BACK TO NEAR 1.7 INCHES THURSDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY. THE GREATEST CONCERN WOULD BE SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80. NO HEADLINES AT THIS TIME AS STILL DEALING WITH CURRENT FLOODING BUT WILL HAVE TO CONSIDER WITH FUTURE FORECASTS. PRECIPITATION WILL LINGER INTO FRIDAY AFTERNOON THEN SHOULD DIMINISH BY THE EVENING WITH DRIER AIR ARRIVING INTO THE STATE. THE STRONG NORTHWEST FLOW WILL RELAX A BIT BY TUESDAY AS THE RIDGE TO THE WEST IS SUPPRESS A LITTLE SOUTH BY AN UPPER LOW OVER ALASKA. THIS WILL BRING A RETURN TO MORE SEASONAL LIKE TEMPERATURES AFTER BELOW NORMAL HIGHS FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. SHORT WAVES MOVING THROUGH THE FLOW WILL BRING A FEW CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS THOUGH CERTAINLY NOTHING LIKE THE PAST WEEK. && .AVIATION...25/06Z ISSUED AT 1206 AM CDT THU JUN 25 2015 MVFR CIGS WITH IFR VSBYS IN TSRA WILL PERSIST THROUGH 11Z WILL PERSIST ACROSS KDSM AND KOTM NORTHERN TAF LOCATIONS WILL HAVE MVFR CIGS THROUGH 11 THEN IMPROVE TO VFR CIGS BY 15Z ALTHOUGH SOUTHERN TAF LOCATIONS MAY SEE LINGERING MVFR CONDITIONS THROUGH 18Z.
