AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
1155 PM CST SAT JAN 30 2016

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT/...
ISSUED AT 340 PM CST SAT JAN 30 2016

PRIMARY CONCERN INTO TOMORROW LOOKS TO BE PRECIP TRENDS. ZONAL FLOW
CONTINUES TO PRODUCE A BROAD SWATH OF MID LEVEL MOISTURE INTO
IA...HOWEVER MOISTURE IS CURRENTLY LACKING SOMEWHAT BELOW WITH ANY
PRECIP ALOFT FOR THE TIME BEING. THIS MID LEVEL FORCING AND MOISTURE
WILL LINGER THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING...BUT MUCH OF THE LOWER H85/H7
SUPPORT WILL BEGIN PUSHING OFF TO THE EAST BY 12Z. SOUNDINGS
SUGGEST THE WINDOW FOR COLUMN SATURATION WILL NOT LAST MORE THAN
3-6 HOURS AT ANY PARTICULAR LOCATION AS IT FINALLY ORGANIZES LATER
THIS EVENING AND SLOWLY PUSHES EAST ACROSS THE STATE SUNDAY
MORNING. ALTHOUGH THERE COULD BE SOME PERIODS OF LIGHT SNOW OR
LIGHT FREEZING RAIN...SURFACE TEMPS AND A 1-3C WARM LAYER ALOFT
WILL KEEP MUCH OF THE PRECIP EITHER A MIX OR A COLD LIGHT RAIN.

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
ISSUED AT 340 PM CST SAT JAN 30 2016

...POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM EARLY IN THE WEEK...

THE FOCUS OF THE LONG TERM FORECAST IS ON THE TIME PERIOD FROM
LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...WHEN A POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT
WINTER STORM SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE REGION. THIS SYSTEM
IS CURRENTLY STILL OVER THE NORTHEASTERN PACIFIC AND WILL NOT
REACH THE CONUS RAOB NETWORK UNTIL TOMORROW...SO THERE IS STILL
SOME UNCERTAINTY REGARDING DETAILS OF PRECISE TRACK AND TIMING.
HOWEVER...THERE IS GOOD GENERAL CONSENSUS ON AN OVERALL EVOLUTION
OF THE STORM ACROSS THE MIDWESTERN STATES.

ON MONDAY A DEEP AND POWERFUL TROUGH WILL CROSS THE
ROCKIES...EMERGING AS A 500 MB CLOSED LOW AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE
CYCLONE OVER THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS BY TUESDAY MORNING. THE
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE CENTER WILL THEN LIKELY TRACK ACROSS
MISSOURI...ILLINOIS...AND PERHAPS THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF IOWA ON
TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT.

ALL SIGNS POINT TO AN EXTENDED DURATION...HEAVY PRECIPITATION
EVENT UNFOLDING AS THE SYSTEM TRACKS ACROSS OUR REGION.
INITIALLY...ON MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING...IOWA WILL SEE
PRECIPITATION ON THE NORTHEASTERN FLANK OF THE LOW ASSOCIATED WITH
STRONG AND BROAD ASCENT ALOFT AS WELL AS WARM AIR ADVECTION.
FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE THAT IT WILL PREDOMINANTLY FALL AS
SNOW...SPREADING FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST ON MONDAY NIGHT...BUT
MAY CHANGE TO A WINTRY MIX OR EVEN RAIN IN THE SOUTH/SOUTHEAST
AFTER SUNRISE TUESDAY MORNING. MEANWHILE A LARGE ZONE OF STRONG
LIFT AND FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING ALONG THE NORTHWESTERN SECTOR OF
THE LOW CENTER WILL SPREAD A SWATH OF HEAVY SNOWFALL ACROSS PARTS
OF THE REGION...STRETCHING FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST...AND
LIKELY FALLING SOMEWHERE ACROSS ABOUT THE NORTHWESTERN HALF OF
IOWA. THE COMBINATION OF THESE TWO AREAS OF PRECIPITATION WILL BE
PROLONGED SNOWFALL CENTRAL AND NORTHWEST WITH A SNOW/RAIN/ICE MIX
AT TIMES SOUTHEAST...AND COULD LEAD TO HEAVY SNOW ACCUMULATIONS IN
SOME AREAS.

FINALLY...BUT POTENTIALLY OF HIGHEST SIGNIFICANCE...IS THAT WITH
THE SURFACE LOW TRACKING BY JUST TO OUR SOUTHEAST WITH A FAIRLY
STEADY CENTRAL PRESSURE AND STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION ON THE BACK
SIDE...WE WILL SEE STRONG WINDS DEVELOPING ON TUESDAY AND TUESDAY
NIGHT. THIS WILL CAUSE SERIOUS BLOWING SNOW ISSUES...REGARDLESS OF
THE MAGNITUDE OF ACCUMULATION...AND POTENTIALLY BLIZZARD
CONDITIONS IN SOME AREAS. WHEREVER MODERATE OR HEAVY ACCUMULATIONS
OCCUR THIS WILL LIKELY LEAD TO VERY LOW VISIBILITY AND ROADS
DRIFTING OVER...MAKING TRAVEL VERY HAZARDOUS IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE.
ALL EYES WILL BE ON THIS STORM IN THE COMING DAYS AND WATCHES AND
WARNINGS WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY LIKELY GIVEN THE SERIOUS
WIDESPREAD IMPACTS POSSIBLE AROUND TUESDAY/TUESDAY NIGHT.

BLOWING SNOW IMPACTS WILL LINGER INTO WEDNESDAY...BUT AFTER THAT
THE LONG TERM FORECAST IS QUIET. ANOTHER DEEP TROUGH WILL CROSS
THE REGION LATE IN THE WEEK AND MAY BRING SOME LIGHT SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS AND MORE WIND AROUND FRIDAY OR SATURDAY...BUT RIGHT
NOW THIS APPEARS MORE LIKELY TO OUR NORTHEAST. COOLER WEATHER WILL
ALSO PREVAIL IN THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK...AND IN FACT IT MAY
BE QUITE COLD AT TIMES ESPECIALLY IF WE ARE ABLE TO LAY DOWN A
DEEP SNOW PACK EARLIER IN THE WEEK.
