Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
254 PM CDT Wed Jun 6 2018

.DISCUSSION.../Tonight through Wednesday/
Issued at 253 PM CDT Wed Jun 6 2018

Iowa is just downstream of the upper ridge axis across the Plains in
an area of good warm advection and moisture advection.  Strong
instability has developed into the western half of Iowa this
afternoon as temperatures and dewpoints have quickly risen. Surface
boundary is pushing into northern Iowa with a weak shortwave
crossing through South Dakota along with some associated forcing.
This setup is the main concern in the short term with the potential
for severe convection late this afternoon into tonight. Latest GOES-
16 visible imagery is showing agitated cumulus near Storm Lake
and cap is likely to break within an hour or two as the updrafts
continue to strengthen and the front approaches. Given the strong
instability, rapid development is expected once initiation occurs.
However, shear is modest at best with effective bulk shear around
25- 35kts across much of the area. Despite this lack of stronger
shear, the strong instability should be more than sufficient for
severe hail production. Downdraft CAPES are also robust with
values of 1200-1400 adding the wind threat component as well. Any
tornado potential is likely to be early in the event with initial
strong updrafts stretching out any available surface vorticity
near the boundary. As gusts fronts consolidate into the evening,
the system is likely to become a forward propagating line moving
southeast through central into southern Iowa during the evening
with hail and winds the main threat. Heavy rains will also occur
given PWATs approaching 1.5 inches although as the system become
more progressive, the overall threat for flash flooding is
expected to remain limited, although urban areas are always
concerning in high rate events.

This convective complex is expected to pass out of southern Iowa
this evening.  However, main low level flow will continue to be
focused just west of the forecast area in Nebraska as southeast
South Dakota overnight with convection continuing in those
locations.  Upper flow will likely carry some of this convection
into western areas overnight with additional rainfall and some
limited severe threat persisting through sunrise.

Another round of convection is expected from later Thursday
afternoon into Friday morning as a shortwave passes through the
Plains and toward the state.  There remains the potential for severe
weather during this time along with heavy rain although detail
remain somewhat sketchy as the convection tonight into early
Thursday will impact Thursday afternoons outcome.  The potential for
additional periods of convection persist into the weekend and
especially later Monday into Monday night as the main shortwave
passes through the state.  Temperatures will be at the mercy of
convection, although with no push of colder air until early next
week, readings will remain mostly above normal.

&&

.AVIATION.../For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon/
Issued at 1235 PM CDT Wed Jun 6 2018

Morning convection has waned and focus is now on redevelopment
this afternoon, likely toward 21z along or south of Highway 20.
Storms will then propagate southeast or south with uncertainty
still around on exact timing and impacts, but likely will be
gusty and variable winds and restrictions to visibility and
ceilings. These storms should exit the area later this evening,
but may see new storms approach from the west after 6z, which is
not currently reflected in the official TAFs with low confidence.
