AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
458 PM CDT WED APR 27 2016

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 458 PM CDT WED APR 27 2016

THE MAIN CONCERN IS STORM OVER EASTERN TAYLOR MOVING NORTH-
NORTHEAST TOWARDS SOUTHEAST ADAMS/SOUTHWEST UNION. THIS STORM IS
IN THE BEST ENVIRONMENT AS THE ENVIRONMENT WEST/NORTHWEST HAS
BEEN CONTAMINATED BY OTHER CONVECTION. EFFECTIVE SHEAR IS 40-50
KNOTS IN THE UNTAPPED ENVIRONMENT AND INSTABILITY IS SUFFICIENT
TO KEEP IT GOING UNTIL SUNSET. THIS STORM IS MOVING INTO 0-1KM
HELICITY OF 150 M2/S2 AND ALONG A GRADIENT OF THE 0-3KM MLCAPE.
ROTATION CONTINUES TO WOBBLE BUT NO REPORTS OF ANY TORNADO OR
FUNNEL CLOUD ATTM. HOWEVER...ENVIRONMENT REMAINS SUITABLE FOR
TORNADIC DEVELOPMENT OVER THE SOUTHERN TWO TIERS OF COUNTIES
THROUGH AT LEAST 01Z TONIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM.../TONIGHT/
ISSUED AT 302 PM CDT WED APR 27 2016

LINE OF SURFACE-BASED CONVECTION HAS INITIATED IN THE WARM SECTOR
OVER THE LAST ONE TO TWO HOURS AHEAD OF STACKED UPPER LEVEL LOW
OVER EASTERN NEBRASKA. WARM FRONT IS LIFTING NORTH OUT OF MO AND
INTO SOUTHERN/SW IOWA WITH 15 TO 20 KT EASTERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THE
BOUNDARY. STEEPENING MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES UNDER THE DRY SLOT WILL
YIELD AROUND 500-1000 J/KG OF SBCAPE IN THE WARM SECTOR FOR STORMS
TO REALIZE...THOUGH THE NARROW CAPE PROFILE SHOULD LIMIT THE
OVERALL HAIL THREAT IN SOUTHERN IOWA. BIGGEST CONCERN WILL BE
TORNADOES IN AND NEAR THE WARM FRONT. INCREASING HELICITY AND
MOISTURE POOLING ALONG THE BOUNDARY WILL PRODUCE A FAVORABLE
TORNADO ENVIRONMENT THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING. WARM
FRONT HAS STRUGGLED TO LIFT NORTHWARD THROUGHOUT THE DAY BUT IS
ANTICIPATED TO LIFT AS FAR NORTH AS HWY 34 TO HWY S92 AS THE
SURFACE LOW PIVOTS BETWEEN NOW AND 00Z.

OTHERWISE...THE REMAINDER OF THE CWA WILL REMAIN IN SYNOPTIC
EASTERLY FLOW THROUGH TONIGHT WITH WINDS BACKING MORE TOWARDS THE
NORTHEAST AS THE SURFACE LOW TRACKS INTO SOUTH CENTRAL IOWA
OVERNIGHT. THE SOUTHERN IOWA CONVECTION WILL LIFT NORTHEASTWARD
OVERNIGHT AND GRADUALLY WEAKEN AS IT OUTRUNS THE ELEVATED
INSTABILITY. LOW STRATUS CLOUDS WILL ALSO LINGER IN THE NORTH
OVERNIGHT WITH THE COOL AIR REGIME AND RECENT RAINFALL.

.LONG TERM.../THURSDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
ISSUED AT 302 PM CDT WED APR 27 2016

THE LONG TERM PERIOD WILL CONTINUE THE UNSETTLED WEATHER THEME AS
WELL AS FEATURE BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES. ON THURSDAY MORNING THE
UPPER LEVEL LOW AND SURFACE LOW WILL BE OVER THE CWA AND WILL
SLIDE EASTWARD. MOISTURE AND KINEMATIC FORCING WILL BE ENOUGH FOR
PRECIP ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNING...BUT WANING IN THE AFTERNOON AS
BEST FORCING AND MOISTURE SLIDE EAST OF THE CWA. INSTABILITY NOT
EXPECTED TO BE SUFFICIENT FOR THUNDER.

NEXT WX SYSTEM TO AFFECT THE CWA WILL ARRIVE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO
SATURDAY. PV ANOMALY / UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL SLIDE ACROSS THE
ROCKIES. SYSTEM WILL BE SIMILAR IN STRUCTURE TO THE ONE PRESENTLY
AFFECTING THE REGION. LARGE...COHERENT AREA OF KINEMATIC FORCING
AND MOISTURE WILL BRING WIDESPREAD PRECIP TO THE CWA ON SATURDAY.
QUESTION IS IF INSTABILITY WILL ENOUGH FOR THUNDER. ALTHOUGH
INSTABILITY IS MARGINAL FOR THUNDER...DO NOT SEE A COMPELLING
ENOUGH CASE TO REMOVE IT FROM THE GOING FORECAST. MODERATE TO
HEAVY RAINFALL IS EXPECTED...WITH PWAT PERCENTILES AT OR ABOVE THE
90TH PERCENTILE...AND THEIR RESIDENCE TIME WILL BE LONGER THAN
TYPICAL. IN TERMS OF SEVERE POTENTIAL...ECMWF IS SIGNIFICANTLY
FARTHER NORTH THAN THE GFS ON SURFACE FRONT PLACEMENT...WITH THE
ECMWF BRINGING THE SURFACE FRONT INTO FAR SOUTHERN IA AND THE
GFS FARTHER SOUTH IN CENTRAL MO. AS WITH TODAY...LOCATION OF
SURFACE FRONT WILL HAVE AN IMPACT ON SEVERE WEATHER
POTENTIAL...SO SUBSEQUENT MODEL SOLUTIONS WILL HAVE TO BE
MONITORED.

UPPER LEVEL LOW HANGS AROUND THE CWA THROUGH SUNDAY...SLOWLY
MOVING EASTWARD. FORCING AND MOISTURE GRADUALLY DECREASE AS THE
SYSTEM PULLS EAST LATER MONDAY. IN THE WAKE OF MODERATE TO HEAVY
RAINFALL...ALONG WITH RATHER LIGHT FLOW AS THE SURFACE HIGH FILLS
IN BEHIND THE DEPARTING SYSTEM...LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL BE AMPLE
THUS FOG POTENTIAL. MODELS THEN DIVERGE FURTHER ON THEIR
SOLUTIONS. GFS SHOWS UPPER LEVEL LOW ACROSS THE ROCKIES EJECTING A
PV ANOMALY / SHORTWAVE...WHILE THE ECMWF HAS A MORE PHASED
APPROACH WITH AN UPPER LEVEL TROF EXTENDING FROM SOUTH CENTRAL
CANADA INTO THE EASTERN ROCKIES BY TUESDAY. REGARDLESS...FORCING
LOOKS TO BE SUFFICIENT FOR AT LEAST SLIGHT CHANCE POPS TOWARD THE
END OF THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION.../FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY AFTERNOON/
ISSUED AT 1250 PM CDT WED APR 27 2016

MVFR TO IFR CIGS/VSBYS WITH LOCALIZED LIFR CIGS WILL PERSIST
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL IOWA...GRADUALLY
LIFTING DURING PEAK HEATING AND THEN DECREASING OVERNIGHT. RAIN
OVER NORTHERN IOWA WILL LIFT NORTH THIS AFTERNOON WITH ADDITIONAL
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING OVER SOUTHERN IOWA AND MOVING
NORTH TONIGHT. WINDS WILL REMAIN FROM THE EAST AT 10 TO 20 KTS
THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 302 PM CDT WED APR 27 2016

HEAVIEST RAIN FELL OVER THE FAR SOUTHWESTERN CWA OVER THE PAST 24
HOURS...WHERE AS MUCH AS 1 TO 1.25 INCHES FELL...WITH A COUPLE
ISOLATED POCKETS OF 1.25 TO 1.5 INCHES. RIVERS IN THOSE AREAS
EXPERIENCED MODERATE TO SIGNIFICANT WITHIN-BANK RISES. EVEN THAT
RAINFALL COMBINED WITH QPF OVER THROUGH THURSDAY...MODERATE TO
HIGH CONFIDENCE EXISTS THAT FLOOD STAGES WILL NOT BE REACHED. NEXT
WX SYSTEM THIS WEEKEND WILL BRING ADDITIONAL MODERATE TO HEAVY
RAIN. ADDITIONAL MODERATE TO SIGNIFICANT WITHIN BANK RISES ARE
AGAIN EXPECTED...AND MAY SEE A COUPLE LOCATIONS REACH MINOR
FLOODING BY LATE THIS COMING WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. MOST
LIKELY LOCATIONS WOULD BE IN SOUTHERN IOWA...SOUTH OF I-80...WHERE
THE RAINFALL FROM BOTH THE ONGOING AND COMING WEATHER SYSTEMS WILL
SEE THE HIGHEST COMBINED TOTALS.
