Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
654 PM CDT Sat Sep 1 2018

...Updated 00z Aviation...

.DISCUSSION.../Tonight through Saturday/
Issued at 323 PM CDT Sat Sep 1 2018

Very active weather pattern to persist through much of the forecast
period. Large sub-tropical high over the east central CONUS will
move slightly east and north over the next 24 hrs and will allow the
surface boundary to lift slightly north and focus over central Iowa.
This boundary will be the area of focus for thunderstorms tonight
through Monday. Very heavy rainfall remains the primary concern
during this period as repeated rounds of thunderstorms capable of
producing heavy rainfall.

Currently there is a lull in the thunderstorm activity. Weak surface
boundary was located from near Omaha to Des Moines then northeast
towards Waterloo. This boundary may settle a bit south tonight
before the aforementioned push back to the north. Another wave of
theta-e advection will lift into central Iowa late this afternoon
and into the early evening. This will moving into an area of nearly
uncapped instability near the surface boundary. This forcing may be
enough to trigger a few thunderstorms during this time period and
could have the potential for some large hail and possibly a damaging
wind gusts. Additional storms are expected to develop over Kansas
late this afternoon then the system may become linear and lift
northeast along the boundary and into central Iowa overnight. PWAT
values will remain near to above 2 inches along the boundary as deep
layer moisture advection continues with Gulf flow in the low levels
thanks to the high to the east and monsoonal flow in the mid-levels.
Based on heavy rain potential overnight and recent heavy rains along
with expected focus overnight, will be reorienting the Flash Flood
watch farther north tonight.

Likely will need additional headlines the next few days over central
Iowa for heavy rainfall. The rainfall potential by Tuesday will
shift further northwest on Tuesday with heavy rain remaining
possible. The upper flow will flatted on Wednesday with westerly
flow prevailing through the rest of the period. This will allow the
boundary to drop south but should hangup over southern Iowa/northern
Missouri as it becomes parallel to the upper flow. This should bring
lower threat for thunderstorms north while the south remains active.
Temperature by the end of the week will drop into the 70s.

.AVIATION.../For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday evening/
Issued at 640 PM CDT Sat Sep 1 2018

Rain showers and thunderstorms will continue to be the main
concern overnight and into the morning. Thunderstorms will be
isolated in nature, and showers will become more widespread
throughout the period. For the most part, conditions will prevail
in the lower range of MVFR. There may be brief periods of IFR if
a downpour occurs directly over a terminal. Confidence in
thunderstorm is occurrence is high across central Iowa is high,
direct impacts to specific terminals is medium.
