557 PM CDT Tue Oct 9 2018
.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday night)
Issued at 210 PM CDT Tue Oct 9 2018
Water vapor satellite this afternoon shows the trough over the
Rockies deepening with an upper level low forming over southern
Colorado. The low will continue to deepen and become closed over
the Dakotas tonight and remained closed as it moves northeast
across Minnesota Wednesday. As the low moves northeast, a strong
short wave trough will move over the region and is expected to
produce strong pv advection in the 500-300 mb layer as moves
across late tonight into Wednesday morning. The surface front
currently extends from southwest Iowa into northern Wisconsin and
will not move much tonight and then get pushed east of the area
Wednesday. The short wave trough will push a surface low along the
front that is expected to move across the area overnight and
Wednesday morning. As these features approach the area, the low
level jet will crank up ahead of the surface low and should be
focused on the area this evening before becoming focused farther
to the north overnight. As the nose of the low level jet works
into the area, should see showers and some storms rapidly
redevelop over the area late this afternoon into the evening. The
latest set of hi-res meso scale models then suggest there could be
a break from the late evening into the early overnight until the
surface low and short wave start influencing the area with more
activity expected to form along the front and then work east
through the late overnight into Wednesday morning. All the
activity should then taper off from southwest to northeast late
Wednesday afternoon through the evening with just some lingering
precipitation chances into Wednesday night across the far north
in the cyclonic rap around flow.
With the front bisecting the area this afternoon, the areas east
of it are warming up with temperatures well into the 70s. Dew
points in the warm sector are in the middle to upper 60s yielding
ML CAPE values of 500-1000 J/Kg over northeast Iowa into southwest
Wisconsin. The 09.17Z RAP holds this CAPE in place in the warm
sector through the evening with just a slight decrease expected
from the loss of daytime heating. Plenty of shear will be in place
with 30 to 40 knots in the 0-3 km layer and up to 30 knots in the
0-1 km layer. This continues to suggest a severe potential through
the evening hours with damaging winds the main threat. There will
also be a tornado threat if any storms can remain discrete and
latch onto a boundary to maximize the turning in the low level
wind field.
.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 210 PM CDT Tue Oct 9 2018
Once this system moves past the area, much cooler air will spill
in behind it. The entire area looks to have low temperatures below
freezing Thursday night and headlines will be needed to highlight
the end of the growing season. The next chance of precipitation
will be from Saturday night into Monday as the western long wave
trough finally looks like it will become progressive and should be
moving east across the central part of the country.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Wednesday evening)
Issued at 557 PM CDT Tue Oct 9 2018
Messy and poor aviation weather with wave and associated surface low
moving through region next 24 hours. Conditions vary from VFR in
warm sector, to LIFR near and just northeast of surface bounary. As
this low tracks northeast, these split conditions will pretty much
stay as is with our area straddling these conditions. TAF sites will
stay IFR to LIFR just on north side of front with occasional
convection moving through.
As system pulls east tomorrow, have introduced wind shifts and
should begin to see some drier air moving in with gradual shift back
to MVFR conditions at least late in forecast.

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 210 PM CDT Tue Oct 9 2018
No changes will be made to the ongoing flood watch. Conditions
remain favorable for more heavy rain through the overnight. As
mentioned above, the low level moisture transport will strengthen
and become focused on the area this evening before focusing
farther north overnight. Precipitable water values in the warm
sector will remain in the 1.75 to 2 inch range with warm cloud
depths around 3.5 km. With the repeated rounds of showers and
storms tonight into Wednesday morning, another 1 to 2 inches can
be expected to fall on grounds that are already saturated. Rivers
and streams will continue to rise with numerous river flood
warnings already issued and more expected to be issued tonight and
Wednesday. See the latest river flood warnings and statements for
specific river information or consult our hydrology web page at
