Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
643 PM CDT Mon Jun 11 2018

.SHORT TERM.../Tonight through Tuesday/
Issued at 336 PM CDT Mon Jun 11 2018

Strong to severe thunderstorm development along with very heavy
rain were the main focus of the forecast today into this evening
across the western portion of the CWA. Leaned toward a blend of
the latest HRRR/ESRL HRRR and RAP for timing of convection into
the western edges of the CWA this afternoon into tonight.

A warm front extended south-southeast from a surface low in
southeast SD before extending more eastern over far southern Iowa
with a sharp cold front cutting south across eastern Nebraska into
Kansas will be the focus of severe weather later today. A few
storms continue to fester along the warm front from around
Atlantic to Winterset, but remain sub-severe attm.

In the warm sector over southwest to western Iowa, very moist and
unstable atmosphere as surface temps in the lower 90s and surface
dew points in the lower 70s across this area. OAX 19z observed
special sounding indicating a classic loaded gun sounding with a
decent hodograph suggestion plenty of speed and direction shear in
the lower levels. LCL heights range from around 500-1000m, steep
low to mid-level lapse rates, very high surface based CAPE, and
significant effective helicity ranging as high as 200 m2/s2 along
and southwest of the warm front in southern Iowa. The helicity,
along with high sigtor and supercell parameters, increases
through the rest of the afternoon.

Timing of severe convection into the CWA looks to be late in the
day, more likely past 22z to 23z in the far west to southwest and
possibly even later. Only concern is if current weak convection
along the warm front releases an outflow boundary providing
another trigger mechanism for storms to develop. The instability
gradient follows along with the warm front orientation and any
storms that develop are likely to follow this gradient into the
southern portions of Iowa. Certainly concerned with the tornadic
threat over the far west-central to southwest Iowa as well as the
large hail and damaging wind threat through around 02-03z, but
storms are anticipated to persist into the late evening. The other
potential is very heavy rain with warm layer cloud depths topping
out over 14kft and precipitable water values over 1.50 inches and
weak Corfidi vectors nearly lined up with the storm motion
tonight. Certainly some training is possible late tonight into the
overnight hours as well as the very efficient rain producers
leading to the potential for flash flooding.

.LONG TERM.../Tuesday night through Monday/
Issued at 336 PM CDT Mon Jun 11 2018

Wednesday night into Thursday, a quick moving shortwave will bring
another round of storms with heavy rain by the early morning hours
Thursday.  Certainly looking better potential for heavy rain event
that severe weather potential with the timing of the convection
into the CWA.

Otherwise, the main focus of the extended period was on the hot
and humid weather conditions late this week into the weekend. No
significant change to the ongoing forecast with only a minor tweak
to the maximum temperatures on Friday. With the recent rainfall
and the crops likely in becoming fully mature, the added low level
moisture into the atmosphere is concerning for the heat index
values Friday through Sunday. Each day, heat index values top out
over 100 degrees.

&&

.AVIATION.../For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday evening/
Issued at 644 PM CDT Mon Jun 11 2018

Main aviation concern will be with front moving across the state
with widespread convection this evening. Will see restrictions to
both ceilings and visibilities in and around the thunderstorms
with general MVFR ceilings across much of the area otherwise. Will
continue to see MVFR to IFR ceilings late tonight into Tuesday
morning before some improvement by afternoon as drier air enters
the state from the northwest.

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