AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
427 AM CST SUN DEC 27 2015

.SHORT TERM /TODAY/...
ISSUED AT 426 AM CST SUN DEC 27 2015

FINALLY A QUIET DAY IS IN STORE ACROSS IOWA. WITH HIGH PRESSURE
SLIDING ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS AND OVER TO MINNESOTA...WE WILL
RESIDE WITHIN A REGION OF BRISK NORTHERLY WINDS AND INCREASINGLY DRY
AIR...RESULTING IN A STEADY CLEARING OF CLOUDS FROM NORTHWEST TO
SOUTHEAST. DAYTIME HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY ONLY BE A FEW
DEGREES ABOVE MID MORNING VALUES AT MOST...AND TEMPERATURES WILL
PROBABLY FALL FROM THE EARLY AFTERNOON ONWARD. NO PRECIPITATION IS
FORECAST AS ALL EYES ARE ON THE SIGNIFICANT STORM SYSTEM SET TO
IMPACT THE REGION ON MONDAY...AS DETAILED IN THE LONG TERM
DISCUSSION BELOW.

.LONG TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
ISSUED AT 426 AM CST SUN DEC 27 2015

DYNAMIC UPPER CLOSED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL LIFT NORTH INTO
TEXAS TODAY THEN INTO MISSOURI ON MONDAY. DEEP MOISTURE WITH PWAT
VALUES IN EXCESS OF 300 PERCENT ABOVE SEASONAL VALUES ALREADY ARE
IN PLACE THROUGH MUCH OF OHIO VALLEY AND SOUTHWEST THROUGH
MISSOURI AND INTO EASTERN TEXAS. THIS MOISTURE WILL STREAM
NORTHWARD TONIGHT INTO MONDAY BRINGING WIDESPREAD WINTER WEATHER
TO THE STATE. THIS EVENT WILL BE PRIMARILY BE DRIVEN
THERMODYNAMICALLY AS THETA-E ADVECTION SPREADS NORTH ACROSS THE
AREA. SEVERAL FACTORS TO CONSIDER WITH THE EVENT. FIRST...STRONG
CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE NORTH WILL BE BATTLING THE
MOISTURE ADVECTION AS IT SURGES NORTH. THIS WILL HAVE AT LEAST
SOME IMPACT OVER THE NORTH AS ENERGY AND MOISTURE IS SPENT DURING
SATURATION. STILL DIFFERENCES IN THE THERMO PROFILES ASSOCIATED
WITH THE SYSTEM...MAINLY MONDAY MORNING INTO THE EARLY
AFTERNOON...WHICH WILL HAVE PRECIPITATION TYPE IMPLICATIONS.
CONTINUES TO FOLLOW A BLEND WITH A LEAN TOWARD THE ECMWF FOR
THERMO PROFILES FOR PTYPE DERIVATION. THIS SOLUTION WILL HAVE ALL
SNOW OVER THE FAR WEST INTO THE NORTHWEST...A MIX CENTRAL WITH THE
MAJORITY SNOW THEN A MIX WITH A PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN AND
POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT ICING FAR SOUTHEAST. STRONG AND GUSTY
WINDS WILL ENHANCE THE HEAT TRANSFER AND FREEZING PROCESS THAT
MAY LEAD TO SIGNIFICANT ICING. IN ADDITION...QUICKLY COOLING
TEMPERATURES JUST ABOVE THE SFC WOULD SUPPORT GREATER ICING ON
POWER LINES AND TREES AND IN COMBINATION WITH THE GUSTY
WINDS...COULD LEAD TO POWER OUTAGES.

SNOW RATIOS AND OVERALL QPF AMOUNTS CERTAINLY IN FLUX. THIS EVENT
VERY WELL MAY BECOME PRIMARILY A CONVECTIVE EVENT THAT COULD
ENHANCE SNOW AMOUNTS. STILL...THE IMPACTS OF INITIAL DRY
AIR...THE FACT IT IS A MORE PROGRESSIVE WARM ADVECTION EVENT WITH
A LACK OF SLOW MOVING DEFORMATION AND MID LEVEL DRY AIR TRYING TO
ENTRAIN DOES LEAVE FOR UNCERTAINTY. DO EXPECT TO BE A HIGH IMPACT
EVENT TRAVEL EVENT WITH CONDITIONS DETERIORATING QUICKLY. SNOWFALL
AMOUNTS OF 6 TO 10 INCHES WEST TO 4 TO 7 CENTRAL STILL ON TRACK.
CENTRAL IA INCLUDING THE DSM METRO MAY ALSO HAVE FREEZING RAIN UP
TO ONE TENTH INCH AND A PERIOD OF SLEET. BLOWING SNOW IS LIKELY
WITH WIND GUSTS OVER 40 MPH POSSIBLE. DO NOT EXPECT WIDESPREAD
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS BUT SOMETHING TO MONITOR. WILL BE ISSUING A
WINTER STORM WARNING FOR THE DES MOINES METRO AND SOUTH AS IMPACTS
HIGH BY THE MORNING COMMUTE. HAVE LEFT THE NORTH AS A WATCH
HOWEVER IF TRENDS PREVAIL AS EXPECTED...MUCH IF NOT ALL WILL BE
UPGRADED BY THIS AFTERNOON.

PTYPE IN QUESTION LATE IN THE EVENT WITH POSSIBLE LOSS OF ICE AND
POSSIBLY A PERIOD OF FREEZING DRIZZLE MONDAY NIGHT. OTHERWISE LOW
CHANCES FOR SNOW MID WEEK THEN COLD AND DRY FOR THE REMAINDER OF
THE EXTENDED.
