Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
1214 AM CDT Thu Apr 11 2019

.DISCUSSION.../Tonight through Wednesday/
Issued at 337 PM CDT Wed Apr 10 2019

Focus will be on the next 24 to 36 hours with the impending large
storm system to impact Iowa continuing tonight through the end of
the week. Continue to see cooler temperatures than previously
expected along the far northern border and warm temperatures into
the south this afternoon. The cooler thermal profile is going to
lead to some issues overnight as precipitation now expected to
potentially be more of a rain/fzra mix in the far northwest around
the Estherville area, with the remainder of the forecast area warm
enough at the surface for just rain showers and thunderstorms.
Limited icing expected on the roads this evening in the far
northwest, with elevated surfaces being mostly impacted from the
icing potential. Although with some icing still possible will issue
a winter weather advisory for Emmet County tonight. Otherwise
remainder of the forecast area to see rain with no icing potential.
Limited icing even in Emmet County after 06z with temperatures
slowly warming some toward morning as warmer air moves in. Winds to
remain strong overnight and will continue the wind advisory across
much of the forecast area. Thunderstorm potential to increase
tonight as the surface low lifts northeastward into northeastern KS
and far NW MO late tonight. Another vort max to lift through eastern
NE/western IA this evening into late tonight, which should allow
some storms to fire in eastern NE this evening and lift through
western/northern portions of the forecast area late tonight. While
storms will remain elevated, there will be enough elevated CAPE and
cool thermal profiles that some severe hail potential remains in
place. Otherwise precipitation to move through Thursday morning with
gusty winds continuing. Focus then shifts to the warm front lifting
north through the forecast area Thursday and the attendant dryline
lifting northward and overtaking the warm front toward the afternoon
hours. As the low lifts northeastward toward the Omaha area by mid-
day and then into NW Iowa by late afternoon/early evening the warm
front will lift through southern/central Iowa and be in the vicinity
of I-80 to Hwy 30 from 18z to 21z Thursday. Some clearing will be
possible with the dry slot lifting into the south central and
central Iowa through the afternoon. As this lifts north, storms
could fire on the nose of the dry slot and in the vicinity of the
surface warm front. Winds north of the front to be out of the east
and strong southerly winds south of the front. This will provide
strong low level shear and also have strong deep layer shear in
place around 60+kts aloft. O-3km CAPE and SRH potential increasing
to around 150-200 J/Kg and 200-400 m2/s2 respectively in vicinity of
the boundary. With some clearing could also have MUCAPE values in
the 500-1000 J/kg range. This will represent a conditional threat,
but the potential for strong to severe storms is apparent along the
boundary through the afternoon hours Thursday. Shear profile and
hodographs suggest a small window for low-topped supercell
tornadoes. Any activity will also present a threat of severe wind
gusts given the strong flow aloft with 850mb winds in the 50-60kt
range. Therefore have increased pops in the far east through the
afternoon hours and also started messaging this potential. Still
somewhat conditional given the Marginal threat for severe weather
from SPC. The main threat area will be through the afternoon along
and east of I-35 and along and south of Hwy 20 roughly.

Into Thursday evening, some precipitation potential still exists
with thunder potential waning through the overnight as colder air
moves in. Therefore expect some snow to mix in on the backside with
some very light accumulations less than an inch possible in the far
northwest. Little or no accumulations elsewhere.

Only other change in the near term was to extend the wind advisory
across the south and through Thursday afternoon with mixing in the
dry slot.

Little changes in the extended from the previous forecast with
colder conditions remaining Friday and some small chances for
precipitation Saturday night into Sunday and again toward the middle
of next week. Temperatures to remain cooler into the weekend and
moderate into next week.

.AVIATION.../For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday night/
Issued at 1213 AM CDT Thu Apr 11 2019

No major changes with wind, remaining convection through 08-10z
north and redevelopment taking place over the south by 10-12z
along occluded frontal zone. Still a threat for low topped
supercells mainly east sites near or just east of KDSM along with
KALO and KOTM. Strong easterly winds tonight/tomorrow nearing
45kt gusts at times with winds becoming south/southwest aft 19-20z
south as dry slot and subsidence increases threat for downward
momentum transport. Cigs will be low and IFR/MVFR then south of
the occluded front rise to MVFR/VFR.  /rev
