AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DES MOINES IA
1243 PM CDT MON MAR 21 2016

.SHORT TERM /TODAY/...
ISSUED AT 349 AM CDT MON MAR 21 2016

HIGH TEMPERATURES WERE THE MAIN CONCERN TODAY. GOOD MIXING
DEVELOPS LATER THIS MORNING AND DEEPENS TO NEAR 850MB WHERE WINDS
RANGE AROUND 30-35 KNOTS. EXTREMELY DRY AIR MASS IN PLACE AND
LOWERED DEW POINTS THROUGHOUT THE DAY TO THE DEW POINTS RANGING
FROM 30-40 AFTER MIXING. HENCE...WITH PLENTY OF SUNSHINE...THE
STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW AND DRY DEW POINTS...RAISED MAXIMUM
TEMPERATURES ROUGHLY 4 TO 6 DEGREES ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST
AREA. THIS IS ABOUT 2-3 DEGREES ABOVE THE 21.00Z MAV AND ECE MOS
GUIDANCE. NUDGE UP WINDS AND WIND GUSTS TODAY AS WELL TO COINCIDE
WITH THE MIXING. SOME CONCERN FOR FIRE WEATHER ISSUES...BUT THE RH
VALUES REMAIN IN THE 35 TO 50 PERCENTILE THIS AFTERNOON DURING THE
STRONGEST MIXING...ANY CONCERNS COULD BE HANDLE WITH A SPS.

.LONG TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
ISSUED AT 349 AM CDT MON MAR 21 2016

MAIN CONCERN CONTINUES TO FOCUS ON MID WEEK SYSTEM SET TO AFFECT
IOWA. HOWEVER...PRIOR TO THE STORMS ARRIVAL LATE TUESDAY
NIGHT...RELATIVELY QUIET CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT INTO
TUESDAY WITH THERMAL RIDGING BUILDING TOWARD THE STATE.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN WELL ABOVE NORMAL DURING THIS TIME WITH
SOUTH WINDS THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING. A COLD FRONT WILL BEGIN TO
SAG INTO NORTHERN IOWA EARLY TUESDAY AND GRADUALLY SINK SOUTH
THROUGH THE STATE DURING THE DAY. THIS WILL LIMIT THE EXTENT OF
THE HEATING IN THE NORTH BUT TEMPERATURES SHOULD STILL MAKE IT
INTO THE MID 50S TO LOWER 60S IN NORTHERN IOWA. FARTHER
SOUTH...READINGS INTO THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S WILL BE COMMON
WITH THE COLD FRONT ARRIVING LATE IN THE DAY.

THIS BOUNDARY WILL STALL NEAR THE IA/MO BORDER ON TUESDAY NIGHT AS
THE STRONG SHORTWAVE PASSES THROUGH THE ROCKIES INDUCING
CYCLOGENESIS IN EAST CO/WEST KS ON TUESDAY NIGHT. STRONG SOUTHERLY
FLOW AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM WILL EVENTUALLY BRING MOISTURE NORTHWARD
INTO THE SYSTEM WITH ISENTROPIC LIFT/WARM ADVECTION INTENSIFYING
NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY. PRECIPITATION WILL INITIALLY FORM NEAR
NORTHERN IOWA/SOUTHERN MINNESOTA TUESDAY NIGHT WHERE DECENT
MIDLEVEL FRONTOGENETICAL WILL EXIST. SATURATION WILL SPREAD ACROSS
NORTHERN IOWA OVERNIGHT AS ISENTROPIC LIFT PERSIST AND RAIN IS
EXPECTED TO SPREAD FARTHER SOUTH ACROSS THE STATE AS THE LIFT
CONTINUES.

MODEL SOLUTIONS REMAIN SOMEWHAT PROBLEMATIC FOR THE FORECAST AREA
WITH GFS FASTER AND FARTHER NORTH WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY.
MEANWHILE...THE EURO REMAINS FARTHER SOUTH AND SLOWER AND THIS IS
BACKED UP BY THE GEM AS WELL. HAVE STARTED TRENDING MORE TOWARDS
THIS LATER SOLUTION GIVEN THEIR CONSISTENCY AND A GRADUAL DRIFT
SOUTHWARD IN THE GFS SOLUTION OVER THE PAST 48 HOURS. THIS
SOLUTION WOULD LIMIT THE CONVECTION POTENTIAL SOMEWHAT AS THE
SURFACE LOW REMAINS GENERALLY SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA.
HOWEVER...ELEVATED INSTABILITY IS LIKELY TO STILL PASS ACROSS
SOUTHERN IOWA AND HAVE KEPT THE THREAT OF THUNDER GOING.
OBVIOUSLY...IF THE GFS SOLUTION COMES TO FRUITION...THE SURFACE
BASED CONVECTION WOULD BE A POSSIBILITY IN THE FAR SOUTH IN THE
AFTERNOON WITH A BETTER CHANCE OF SEVERE STORMS. FARTHER
NORTH...COLD ADVECTION WILL INTENSIFY AS THE LOW DEEPENS AND
NORTHEAST WINDS INCREASE AT THE SURFACE. COLD RAIN WILL BEGIN TO
CHANGE TO SNOW ACROSS NORTHERN IOWA DURING THE DAY AS THE COLD AIR
DEEPENS. THIS RAIN/SNOW TRANSITION WILL MOVE GRADUALLY SOUTH AND
BE NEAR A CHARLES CITY-CLARION-DENISION LINE BY SUNSET. THIS
TRANSITION LINE WILL ACCELERATE TO THE SOUTHEAST ON WEDNESDAY
NIGHT AS THE SURFACE LOW PASSES AND WINDS INCREASE FROM THE NORTH
TO NORTHWEST. EURO HAS STRONG KINEMATIC FORCING ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT
WITH DECENT PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS ACROSS THE STATE WHILE THE
QUICKER GFS HAS PRECIPITATION ENDING LATE AS LIFT MOVES EASTWARD.
HAVE STAYED WITH THE SLOWER SOLUTION AND TRANSITION ALL
PRECIPITATION TO SNOW ACROSS THE FORECAST AREAS BY LATE WEDNESDAY
NIGHT WITH ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL EXPECTED IN MOST AREAS. THE SNOW
ENDS BY MIDDAY THURSDAY WITH THE SYSTEM PULLING TO THE EAST. AT
THIS POINT...MODERATE TO LOW END HEAVY ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE
POSSIBLE ALONG AND NORTH OF HIGHWAY 20 WITH LIGHT TO MODERATE
FARTHER SOUTH. SHOULD THE EURO END UP BEING RIGHT...THE AXIS OF
HEAVIER SNOW WILL NEED TO BE SHIFTED FARTHER SOUTH AS WELL AND
THIS WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED CLOSELY ON SUBSEQUENT SHIFTS WITH
HEADLINES BECOMING A POSSIBILITY. WINDS WILL ALSO BE QUITE STRONG
WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING WHICH MAY CAUSE SOME BLOWING
SNOW AS WELL.

STILL APPEARS TO BE A BREAK IN THE ACTION LATE THURSDAY INTO
FRIDAY BUT ANOTHER SYSTEM IS SET TO AFFECT THE STATE INTO NEXT
WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES WILL BE QUITE COLD ON THURSDAY WITH SOME
GRADUAL MODERATION INTO THE WEEKEND.

.AVIATION...21/18Z
ISSUED AT 1243 PM CDT MON MAR 21 2016

FAIRLY HIGH CONFIDENCE IN VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE ENTIRE
PERIOD WITH NOTHING MORE THAN SCT-BKN HIGH CLOUDS. ONLY CONCERN
WILL BE LLWS OVER SRN IA AS THE LOW LEVEL JET INCREASES AHEAD OF
APPROACHING SIOUXLAND FRONTAL BOUNDARY.

.DMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE.
