AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
642 PM CDT WED JUN 10 2015

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...
ISSUED AT 332 PM CDT WED JUN 10 2015

A DECAYING SURFACE FRONT HAS SAGGED SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE AREA
TODAY...AND IS NOW STALLED ROUGHLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 34.
ALONG AND SOUTH OF THIS BOUNDARY STRONG INSTABILITY HAS DEVELOPED
BENEATH A MID LEVEL CAP...AND AS SURFACE TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO
RISE THIS AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD EVENTUALLY DEVELOP BY THIS
EVENING. MEANWHILE A LARGE STORM SYSTEM IS WORKING ITS WAY FROM THE
ROCKIES INTO THE WESTERN HIGH PLAINS...AND WILL APPROACH IOWA FROM
THE WEST TONIGHT. THIS WILL PULL THE AFOREMENTIONED FRONTAL BOUNDARY
BACK NORTHWARD OVERNIGHT ALONG WITH ANY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THAT
DEVELOP ALONG IT. FINALLY...THE LARGE SWATH OF SHOWERS AND STORMS ON
THE LEADING FLANK OF THE STORM SYSTEM APPROACHING FROM THE HIGH
PLAINS WILL REACH OUR WESTERN AND NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES RIGHT AROUND
SUNRISE TOMORROW MORNING...MORE OF WHICH IS DISCUSSED IN THE LONG
TERM SECTION BELOW. REGARDING SEVERE WEATHER THREATS THROUGH
TONIGHT...DESPITE A LACK OF DEEP LAYER SHEAR THE STRONG INSTABILITY
AND PRESENCE OF A FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS SOUTHERN IOWA LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING DICTATES SOME THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER WITH
LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...AND POSSIBLY EVEN A TORNADO OR TWO.
THIS IS WELL HANDLED IN THE SHORT TERM SPC PRODUCTS.

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
ISSUED AT 332 PM CDT WED JUN 10 2015

VERY ACTIVE PATTERN IN STORE FOR IOWA INTO NEXT WEEK. INITIAL
CONCERN WILL BE CONVECTION WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN. SHORT
WAVES CROSSING THE CENTRAL AND NRN ROCKIES WILL DEVELOP AN MCS INTO
THE MO RIVER VALLEY OVERNIGHT...CROSSING THE RIVER INTO PORTIONS OF
IA BY MORNING. THE SYSTEM WILL PRODUCE UNSEASONABLY STRONG SYNOPTIC
SCALE FORCING STARTING WITH WRN GREAT LAKES RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION
DIVERGENCE ACROSS THE UPPER MS VALLEY AND DECENT DPVA FARTHER SOUTH.
THIS WILL BE COINCIDENT WITH STRONG...COMPACT H85/H7 THETA-E
ADVECTION AND FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING. THIS WILL BE COUPLED WITH A
VERY FAVORABLE AIRMASS FOR EFFICIENT RAINFALL. 00Z NAEFS PWATS AND
INTEGRATED WATER VAPOR TRANSPORT ARE BOTH TOWARD CLIMATOLOGICALLY
EXTREME LEVELS INTO THE NOTED BAROCLINIC ZONE AND WARM FRONT.
MOISTURE TRANSPORT INTO THE FRONT WILL BE QUITE STRONG WITH 305K
ISENT SURFACE SHOWING 40+ KTS OF INFLOW AND EXTREME
MOISTURE/TRANSPORT CONVERGENCE WITH DETERMINISTIC PWATS PUSHING 2
INCHES AND WARM CLOUD DEPTHS OVER 4KM. THIS FAIRLY UNIQUE COUPLING
OF SYNOPTIC SCALE FORCING AND FAVORABLE AIRMASS WILL PRODUCE AN
ENVIRONMENT EXTREMELY FAVORABLE FOR EFFICIENT HEAVY RAINS.  THE BIG
QUESTION WILL BE LATITUDINAL EXTEND DEPENDING ON HOW MESOSCALE
OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES PLAY OUT OVERNIGHT. CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH...BUT
MOST LIKELY SCENARIO AT THIS POINT PLACES HEAVY RAINFALL AXIS
SOMEWHERE ALONG THE IA/MN BORDER WHERE WIDESPREAD TWO TO THREE INCH
AMOUNTS ARE POSSIBLE WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS. THUS A FLASH FLOOD
WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THESE AREAS.  THE LACK OF
TOPOGRAPHY...SLOWLY MATURING CROPS...AND PREVIOUS TABLE SETTING
HEAVY RAINS ARE SOMEWHAT OF A DETERRENT...BUT THE NOTED BLEND OF
FORCING AND ENVIRONMENT MAY OVERCOME THESE QUESTIONS.

THERE COULD ALSO VERY WELL BE A SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FARTHER SOUTH
ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE LOW/TRIPLE POINT.  NAM/GFS MLCAPES ARE
UNCAPPED WITH A NOTED LOBE OF EXTREME 0-1KM SHEAR AND SRH JUST AHEAD
LEADING TO AN ELEVATED TORNADO THREAT...ESPECIALLY FARTHER NORTH
TOWARD THE RAIN AND POTENTIALLY LOWER LCLS.  FEEL THE LOCALIZED
POTENTIAL IS HIGHER THAN WHAT IS CURRENTLY DEPICTED BY THE SPC DAY 2
OUTLOOK.

THE FORCING SHOULD BE ALL BUT GONE INTO FRIDAY WITH A BRIEF LULL
BEFORE THE WEATHER TURNS ACTIVE ONCE AGAIN. REMNANTS OF CURRENT SWRN
US TROUGH WILL LIFT ACROSS THE PLAINS WITH FORCING REACHING THE
PLAINS LATE SAT INTO SAT NIGHT.  THIS WILL ANOTHER BOUNDARY INTO
IOWA WITH ADDITIONAL TRIGGERS FOR CONVECTION WITH SEVERE WEATHER
HEAVY RAINS AGAIN POSSIBLE. THE BOUNDARY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM
DRIFTS BACK AND FORTH WITH WEAK FLOW INTO THE EXTENDED PERIOD.
DETAILS WILL BE VERY HARD TO COME BY DUE TO UNPREDICTABLE CONVECTION
AND OUTFLOW...BUT THIS RESULTS IN AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF CHANCES POPS
FOR SEVERE DAYS.  NOTHING ORGANIZED TO NOTE THIS FAR OUT...BUT THE
POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINS AND FLOODING DO NOT LOOK TO IMPROVE
APPRECIABLY THROUGH THE VALID PERIOD.

.AVIATION...11/00Z
ISSUED AT 633 PM CDT WED JUN 10 2015

TSRA ACROSS SOUTH WILL AFFECT SOUTHERN SITES KDSM/KOTM FOR
BEGINNING OF PERIOD BEFORE DISSIPATING. LARGER BAND OF TSRA/SHRA
WILL PUSH IN FROM NE BY EARLY MORNING...BEGINNING TO AFFECT SITES
IN THE WEST SHORTLY AFTER 12Z...WITH INFLUENCE PERSISTING THROUGH
THE PERIOD. WILL SEE CHANCES FOR TSRA AT SITES ALONG WITH MVFR
CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES. TSRA WILL BECOME SOMEWHAT MORE
SCATTERED AFTER 18Z...AFFECTING WESTERN SITES MOST. TSRA
AFFECTING SITES COULD BRING VISIBILITIES AND CEILINGS DOWN TO IFR
OR LIFR AT TIMES...AND WINDS COULD BE STRONG AND GUSTY
BRIEFLY...ESPECIALLY NEAR/AROUND 18Z. WINDS WILL BECOME MORE
SOUTHERLY WITH GUSTS TO NEAR 20 KTS THROUGH THE DAY THURSDAY.

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 1240 PM CDT WED JUN 10 2015

WIDESPREAD MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL IS STILL ON TRACK THU INTO THU
EVE WITH NRN IA LIKELY TO SEE THE HIGHER END AMOUNTS. QPF REMAINS ON
THE ORDER OF SEVERAL INCHES IN THESE AREAS THROUGH 12Z FRI AND RFC
DETERMINISTIC CONTINGENCY FORECASTS SUGGEST THAN MANY MAIN STEM
RIVERS MAY REACH MINOR FLOOD STAGE IF THIS QPF MATERIALIZES...WITH A
FEW SPOTS JUST INTO MODERATE FLOODING AS WELL. AREAS PRIMARILY
IMPACTED AT THIS TIME WOULD SEEM TO INCLUDE THE CEDAR
BASIN...RACCOON BASIN AND DES MOINES RIVER BASIN ABOVE SAYLORVILLE.
CURRENT RIVER FORECASTS ONLY DEPICT QPF THROUGH 12Z THU HOWEVER...SO
THIS IS NOT DEPICTED IN THE OFFICIAL FORECASTS JUST YET.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES MAY OCCUR WITH THE 11.00Z AND 11.12Z RUNS
HOWEVER...LOOKING AHEAD TO THIS EVENING AND THU MORNING.
