Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
1200 AM CDT Wed Jul 6 2016

.SHORT TERM.../Tonight/
Issued at 351 PM CDT Tue Jul 5 2016

Focus for tonight will be on thunderstorm chances and severe
weather chances this evening into the overnight hours. Large
elongated area of low pressure situated to the west/northwest
across central NE/SD/MN. A large amount of instability in place
across the area, however low level lapse rates weak with large cap
in place initially. Dewpoints have risen even higher across the
state with some sites around 80 degrees, with the high surface
moisture expected to continue to pool ahead of the storms this
evening. A few light elevated showers/storms have tried to pop
this afternoon, but cap is just too strong.

Expect majority of activity later this evening. A cluster of
storms has already developed across WC MN and another large
storm across central SD. These storms continue to develop on the
warm front, with further development expected later further SW
along the sfc trough axis into NE. The storms in SD/NE are
expected to connect and grow into a large MCS to move through the
CWA this evening/tonight. Shear is decent, but not excessive and
should sustain the severe threat especially along and north of HWY
20 where deep layer shear greater than 30kts. LLJ to become
oriented into northern/central IA with additional development
possible south and west of the main complex.

PWATS currently around 1.7 inches and are expected to increase to
around 2.0 inches late tonight as moisture transport becomes
oriented directly into the state. The activity is expected to be
progressive to the southeast, therefore the flash flood threat
does appear to be limited. However some brief locally heavy rain
is possible with the large amount of moisture available.

.LONG TERM.../Wednesday through Tuesday/
Issued at 351 PM CDT Tue Jul 5 2016

Main forecast concern remained focused on convective potential
Wednesday night and again Thursday into Thursday evening. Leaned
toward the ECMWF for much of the forecast package as it continues
to be consistent from run-to-run late this week and into the
weekend.

Wednesday into Thursday...Lingering pops across the south to
southeast Wednesday morning with a diminishing MCS in this location.
A break in the thunderstorm chances during the afternoon into the
evening Wednesday before the next overnight convection develops by
around 03z Thursday. ECMWF is slightly slower with the shortwave
and has the strong forcing for ascent between 06-12z Thursday,
while the GFS is roughly 3 hours sooner. Delayed onset of likely
pops Wednesday night until after 06z Thursday, and could possibly
go dry over at least the southeast during the evening tomorrow
night. Again, northern Iowa looks to see the bulk of the
precipitation in the location of the best moisture convergence.
Main threat will be heavy rain with warm layer clouds depths
around 14kft, PWATs 1.5 to near 2.0 inches, and fairly steep mid-
level lapse rates. Severe threat remains minimal as the low level
shear remains weak, even though deep layer shear looks viable for
updraft sustainability. Plus with decent amount CAPE developing
Wednesday, cannot rule out some elevated hail producers over
western to northern portions of the forecast area.

A potent 500mb trough and associated front will move across the
state beginning late in the afternoon Thursday over the northwest
and then pushes east-southeast Thursday evening. ECMWF is slightly
further south with the QPF bullseye and the strongest forcing, but
the NAM/GFS/ECMWF are in decent agreement with timing. Strong vort
max and deepening low pressure throughout the day Thursday with
potent 0-6km shear nearing 50 knots, 0-1km and 0-3km bulk shear in
the 20-30 knot range, and a good amount of instability building
ahead of the trough Thursday. Good veering in the forecast
soundings Thursday afternoon into the evening with sickle-shape
hodographs by 00z Friday per BUFR soundings at DSM to MCW. All
modes of severe weather look possible and the Slight Risk has a
good potential for an upgrade during future forecast updates.
Thus, Thursday is shaping up to be one of the better widespread
severe potentials that central Iowa has seen this convective
season.

Friday through Monday...leaned toward a drier forecast during this
time frame with the ECMWF keeping the surface high pressure in
control of the weather pattern.

&&

.AVIATION.../For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday night/
Issued at 1156 PM CDT Tue Jul 5 2016

Thunderstorms will progress across the central and southern
portions of the region tonight with conditions falling to IFR or
possibly lower in the regions of heaviest rain. Very strong winds
of 40-60kts or greater will accompany the strongest storms.
Otherwise VFR conditions are anticipated for northern Iowa tonight
and the entire area on Wednesday.
