AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
357 AM CDT FRI SEP 18 2015

.SHORT TERM /TODAY/...
ISSUED AT 355 AM CDT FRI SEP 18 2015

CURRENTLY HAVE AN UPPER LEVEL WAVE DROPPING THROUGH THE NORTHERN
ROCKIES AND A DEVELOPING SURFACE LOW CENTERED OVER SW KS/NW OK. THIS
UPPER WAVE WILL PUSH EAST INTO SE SD BY EARLY EVENING...WHILE THE
SFC LOW DEEPENS AND LIFTS NE INTO NRN MO/SE IA. THE WEAK FRONTAL
BOUNDARY THAT PUSHED SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE STATE TODAY...WILL LIFT
BACK NORTHWARD AS A WARM FRONT WHICH COULD PUSH INTO THE SE CWA BY
LATE THIS AFTERNOON. STRONG THETA-E ADVECTION IN PLACE ALOFT AHEAD
OF THE SFC LOW LIFTING NORTH...ALONG WITH STRONG WAA ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN THIRD OF THE CWA. EXPECT PRECIPITATION DEVELOPMENT ACROSS
THE SOUTHWEST TO WEST CENTRAL THIS MORNING...WITH PRECIP TO SPREAD
ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA BY LATE MORNING INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON
HOURS. DECENT SHEAR AND INSTABILITY ACROSS THE SOUTH WILL LEND TO
ANOTHER CHANCE FOR SOME SEVERE STORMS...WITH INSTABILITY DECREASING
MARKEDLY ACROSS THE CENTRAL/NORTHERN CWA. THEREFORE STUCK WITH
ISOLATED THUNDER WORDING IN THAT REGION...HOWEVER EVEN AN ISOLATED
THUNDER MENTION MAY BE OVERDONE ESPECIALLY IN THE FAR NORTHERN CWA.
SYSTEM TO PIVOT ACROSS CENTRAL/EASTERN IOWA WITH DEF ZONE PRECIP
CRANKING UP ACROSS THE NORTH THIS AFTERNOON.

EXPECT STEADIER PRECIP ACROSS THE NORTH...WITH CHANCES FOR HEAVY
RAINFALL STILL ACROSS THE SOUTHERN CWA. PWATS STILL IN THE 1.6 TO
1.8 RANGE FOR THIS AFTERNOON...WITH POSSIBLE TRAINING OF STORMS AS
THE SYSTEM PIVOTS THROUGH THE STATE. WITH HEAVIER RAINFALL MISSING
MUCH OF THE SOUTHERN CWA ON THURSDAY...SHOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE SOME
POCKETS OF HEAVY RAINFALL. WILL HAVE TO MONITOR...BUT FOR NOW ANY
HYDRO HEADLINES DO NOT SEEM TO BE WARRANTED.

AS FOR TEMPERATURES...EXPECT COOLER TEMPS WITH A COOLER AIRMASS IN
PLACE ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA. ADDITIONALLY CLOUD CLOVER AND
PRECIPITATION CHANCES AND CAA ACROSS THE NORTH WILL KEEP WARMING
MINIMIZED. THEREFORE HAVE HIGHS MAINLY IN THE LOW TO MID 60S NORTH
TO MID 70S SOUTHEAST.

.LONG TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
ISSUED AT 355 AM CDT FRI SEP 18 2015

SECOND PORTION OF THE SYSTEM NOW AFFECTING OUR REGION WILL BE MOVING
THROUGH THE AREA BETWEEN 00 AND 06Z TONIGHT. MODELS IN GENERAL
AGREEMENT WITH REGARD TO SHORT WAVE AND INDUCED SFC LOW TRACKING
JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE IA-MO BORDER THIS EVENING...ENDING UP NEAR
CHICAGO BY 06Z. AS THE SYSTEM DEPARTS...H850 COLD AIR ADVECTION
FINALLY BEGINS TO ASSIST IN THE AMPLIFICATION OF THE SFC LOW. LARGE
SHIELD OF RAIN WITH ISO THUNDER EARLY IN THE PERIOD WILL GRADUALLY
DIMINISH AS COOLER AND DRIER AIR IS PULLED INTO THE SYSTEM. NORTH WINDS
WILL BE ON THE INCREASE BETWEEN 00 AND 06Z AS WELL. H850 WINDS
ARE PROGGED TO INCREASE TO 25 TO 30KTS EAST OF I35...SO ANTICIPATE
WITH SUBSIDENCE DURING THE OVERNIGHT WINDS WILL BE GUSTY UNTIL
ABOUT MIDNIGHT. WITH THE H500 LOW QUICKLY DEPARTING THE REGION BY
12Z CLEARING SKIES WILL TAKE OVER FOR SATURDAY...WHICH LOOKS TO BE
A VERY PLEASANT DAY...THOUGH COOL. EARLY SATURDAY NORTH WINDS
ALOFT WILL LINGER RESULTING IN A DECENT NORTH BREEZE IN THE MORNING.
BY AFTERNOON AS THE RIDGE APPROACHES THE AREA WILL WINDS DIMINISH
TOWARD EVENING. ALREADY BY SUNDAY A LEE SIDE TROUGH WILL DEVELOP
OVER THE WESTERN PLAINS WITH INCREASING SOUTHERLY FLOW AND A RETURN
OF SOME MOISTURE AND WARM AIR ADVECTION BY 18Z SUNDAY. THE GFS IS
ATTEMPTING TO CREATE SOME SHOWERS OVER OUR WEST AT THIS TIME. BUFR
SOUNDINGS SHOW AN INCREASE OF MID LEVEL CLOUDS BUT BOTH THE NAM
AND GFS SOUNDINGS SHOW A DRY LAYER BENEATH 10KFT. ITS MORE LIKELY
THAT WITH THE HIGH IN PLACE PRIOR TO THE ARRIVAL OF ANY MOISTURE
ALOFT WILL RESULT IN LITTLE IF ANY CHANCE FOR SHOWERS TO REACH THE
GROUND. THOUGH TEMPS WILL BE COOL SAT/SUN THE RETURNING WARM AIR
WILL GRADUALLY REPLACE THIS AIRMASS WITH WARMING HIGHS FOR MONDAY
THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THE MODELS BEGIN TO DIVERGE ON THE POSSIBILITY
OF RAINFALL BY TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY WITH THE GFS ATTEMPTING TO
ACTIVATE A FRONT IT HAS PUSHED AS FAR EAST AS IOWA...WHILE THE
EURO CONTINUES TO HOLD THE FRONT MAINLY WEST OF THE AREA UNTIL
LATE WEEK. THE FOCUS OF THE DIFFERENCE IS DUE TO THE HANDLING OF
THE H500 RIDGE THAT IS EXPECTED TO REAMPLIFY OVER THE PLAINS NEXT
WEEK. THE EURO IS STRONGER WITH THE RIDGE INITIALLY WHILE THE GFS
ALLOWS FOR THE RIDGE TO FLATTEN THEN SLOWLY AMPLIFY BY WEEKS END.
THE GEM IS CLOSER TO THE EURO AT THIS POINT...SO EXPECT THAT THE
GFS MAY BE A BIT AGGRESSIVE WITH ANY SHORTWAVE GETTING THIS FAR
EAST BY MIDWEEK. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE WARMING WITH HIGHS IN
THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S BY THE END OF THE 7 DAY PERIOD WITH
SLIGHTLY BETTER CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION BY DAYS 6 AND 7.

.AVIATION...18/06Z
ISSUED AT 1140 PM CDT THU SEP 17 2015

VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL OVERNIGHT WITH NO ADDITIONAL
SHRA/TSRA EXPECTED AT THE TERMINALS AFTER 06Z. STRATOCUMULUS
CLOUDS MAY PERSISTENTLY BUILD ALONG WITH LIGHT BR ACROSS THE
SOUTH...AT OTM/DSM...BUT HEIGHTS/VSBYS SHOULD STAY VFR FOR THE
MOST PART. ON FRIDAY THICK CLOUDS AND SHRA/TSRA WILL BUILD IN
ONCE AGAIN FROM SW TO NE THROUGH THE DAY...WITH MOST TSRA AND THE
LOWEST CIGS/VSBYS CONFINED TO DSM/OTM. FOR NOW HAVE STUCK WITH
MVFR IN THESE AREAS...BUT IFR MAY BE POSSIBLE AT TIMES DURING THE
DAY. STRONG NNW WINDS WILL THEN KICK IN AROUND SUNSET WITH
CONTINUED SHRA AND LOW CIGS THROUGH THE END OF THE 06Z TAF
PERIOD.
