Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
1140 PM CST Tue Jan 2 2018

.DISCUSSION.../Tonight through next Tuesday/
Issued at 354 PM CST Tue Jan 2 2018

GOES 16 shows the next PV anomaly/clipper moving through North
Dakota and northern Minnesota southeastward this afternoon. Radar
representation of this band has diminished since this morning and
only a few ASOS/AWOS sites have recently reported light snow along
with a couple of mPING reports. Many of the CAMs have been showing
this narrow band of snow arriving around 5-6pm over far northern
Iowa, 8-9pm for Des Moines and Waterloo areas, and closer to 10pm
for Ottumwa. Soundings show saturation within the dendritic
growth zone (DGZ) as well as beneath the DGZ. While there will be
light snow or flurries, the omega within the DGZ is near 0 or
positive. Overall, the atmosphere is rather dry with precipitable
water values peaking around 0.15". The QPF will be light and snow
ratios will be in the upper teens/low 20s to one. Lagging behind
the snow area will be a cold front, which will bring a quick
reinforcing shot of cold air. Winds behind the front have been
picking up this afternoon. Looking at upstream observations have
sustained winds of 20-25 knots with a few gusts around 30 knots.
Therefore, expect similar winds to develop later tonight behind
the front with gusts over 30 mph over northern Iowa. This is
likely to cause at least patchy blowing snow and have this
mentioned over northern Iowa tonight into early tomorrow morning.
At this point, it does not look like winds will reach wind
advisory criteria, but something the evening and overnight shifts
will need to monitor. There will also be a 6-8 hour window of wind
chills below -20F late tonight into tomorrow morning. However,
with the recent prolonged period of wind chill headlines, decision
is to hold off on any headlines tonight.

After a not as frigid day today, temperatures will take a step
backward by about 5 degrees tomorrow with cold air advection
continuing as the cold front drops farther southward into Missouri,
Illinois, and Kansas. A 1036mb high pressure will begin to drop
southeastward over the southern Canadian prairies with an extension
in the northern Plains. With high pressure fostering mainly clear
skies, will have temperatures fall back into the teens below zero
over much of the northern 2/3rds of Iowa with single digits below
zero elsewhere. While winds will be under 10 knots, the combination
will still create wind chill values below -20F. As stated above,
confidence is high that there will be a period of advisory level
wind chills, but wanted to give everyone a break of a wind chill
headline. Therefore, either tonight or tomorrow we'll likely need to
return a wind chill headline to a good portion of central Iowa.

As the high slowly moves eastward, yet another clipper will streak
southeastward out of Canada toward our area Thursday night. While
Superblend provided some low end PoPs, it did not give any QPF.
This was a result of timing and placement differences amongst the
models. Therefore, used a blend of the NAM/GFS/WPC for QPF amounts
with a blend of NAM/GFS for PoPs Thursday night into Friday
morning. ECMWF is not as strong with its forcing and is farther
west compared to the GFS, which shows modest Q vector divergence
in the low and mid-levels. While there looks to be a 1 to perhaps
2 inch accumulating snowfall, confidence is a little below normal
on where the highest totals will be.

The eastern US trough pattern will break down this weekend as the
surface high moves into the Eastern US. As a shortwave trough moves
out of the Pacific Northwest across the Rockies, will see the mid-
level north and northwesterly flow of the past week or so ease and
have origins more of the Pacific than the Arctic. Surface winds will
become from the south and eventually southwest this weekend, which
will allow for a warmup. The shortwave trough along with the
aforementioned surface winds will bring moisture back into the
state. This will allow for precipitation on Sunday into Sunday
evening with the best chance over southern Iowa. As temperatures
climb above freezing into the middle 30s (+1 to perhaps +3C) on
Sunday, will have to determine where the rain/snow transition line
will set up. While colder air will follow this system early next
week, at this point it does not to appears as bitterly cold as what
has happened over the past week.

&&

.AVIATION.../For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday night/
Issued at 1140 PM CST Tue Jan 2 2018

A swath of stratus clouds with scattered flurries/snow showers and
MVFR ceilings/vsbys will move across the area over the next
several hours. Thereafter, skies will largely clear out and VFR
conditions will prevail for the remainder of the TAF period. Have
taken best shot at timing the lowest conditions overnight and
timing of improvement, but amendments may be necessary.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of central Iowa.

.DAY ONE...This afternoon and tonight

Light snow is expected to arrive around sunset tonight over
northern Iowa and continue southeastward across the state this
evening. Winds will become gusty from the northwest tonight and
will gust over 30 mph. The combination of these gusty winds and
falling and fallen snow may create significant areas of blowing
snow reducing visibility, especially over northern Iowa.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday

Patchy blowing snow may occur on Wednesday as winds gust up to
around 25 mph.

Another episode of bitter cold temperatures and wind chills are
forecast from Wednesday into Thursday morning.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed, but snowfall reports would
be appreciated with any snow that falls tonight.
