Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
1140 PM CDT Tue Jun 25 2019

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1133 PM CDT Tue Jun 25 2019

Return flow across the H850 boundary continues to fire storms into
southwest Iowa late this evening. Though severe reports are
becoming more sporadic, some large hail is still occurring.
Flooding is also a threat now with training storms across
southwest portions. Though localized to smaller portions of a few
counties, will continue to monitor the remainder of the night for
any additional flooding.

&&

.DISCUSSION.../Tonight through Tuesday/
Issued at 318 PM CDT Tue Jun 25 2019

The primary concerns through the period will be ill-defined
convective trends in increasing instability over the next several
days, and a prolonged heat and humidity episode with temperatures
nudging up further versus previous forecast cycles. The current
Rockies short wave ridging will build into the MO Valley tomorrow
and continue to allow increased instability to push farther north
over time. Weak waves will continue to pass through the flow
keeping at least low PoPs in the forecast through at least
Thursday with both peak heating and nocturnal convection possible.
Eventually the ridge will build further northward and push Iowa
fully in the warm sector with any low level convergence and
baroclinicity sufficient for convective development to our north.
However this will also allow heat and humidity to build closer to
advisory criteria.

The immediate concern is severe potential however. Elevated
convection has already produced dime sized hail near Carson in
2-3K MUCAPEs and 35kts of effective shear. The best mixed layer
conditions are farther south however where MLCAPEs quickly jump up
to 2K+ j/kg. These conditions, along with the current 0-500m
moisture convergence axis into northern MO and Bunkers supercell
motion to the southeast, may all keep the best severe potential to
our south. Weak NW winds into our southwest forecast area have
dropped dewpoints and instability. Nevertheless the slightly
elevated storms may still produce severe weather across southern
IA. Supercells with large hail and damaging wind would be the
primary threats, wind especially if it can become rooted lower,
due to the effective shear and steep lapse rates aloft. The
tornado potential for now with little 0-1km shear or SRH, or 0-3km
CAPE. Locally heavy rain is possible as well, but storm motion
and residence time should preclude much in the way of the flooding
threat. Most convection allowing models are in agreement with the
convection either dissipating or exiting southern Iowa by late
evening, but there is also some hint that persistent theta-e
advection may sustain weaker convection into the night.

Tomorrow will start a two day period with lowered confidence as
building heights result in an associated northward push of
instability. The question over this span will be how much of a
break, if any, there will be between sequential nocturnal and
daytime heating convective episodes. For instance some models
depict a Siouxland MCS advancing into IA during the day, which
could limit the peak heating potential, while others show more of
a break with the potential of more instability re-charge and
allowance for the effective boundary ending up farther north.
These uncertainties driven by mesoscale outflow questions repeat
themselves Thursday into Thursday Night so confidence is low
through this time span. Moderate to high instability will be in
place keeping severe weather possible area wide, but the building
heights will likely keep much of the more organized threat north.
Regarding heavy rain and potentially flash flooding, this will
increase Wed and Thu Nights with a persistent southwest low level
jet and associated moisture convergence focused into IA. This
should produce nocturnal convection at a minimum, even if not
aided by lingering peak heating storms. The precipitable water
values are not anomalously high with mainly shallow moisture in
place, but even seasonal late June values are sufficient for heavy
rains, especially coupled with deep warm cloud depths and weak
mean winds as the ridge builds.

The forecast drys out Friday through the weekend with heat
becoming the primary weather story. Although not all elements are
available for examination, the NBM nudge upward is difficult to
argue with considering the warming pattern and breadth of guidance
included in the NBM. This would push heat indices to the cusp of
advisory criteria /105F/ over the weekend. Folks participating in,
or planning, outdoor activities should be prepared to mitigate
heat effects as this will be the first noted heat episode of the
season. Confidence continues to be low early next week but at
least some PoPs do return to the forecast by this time, mainly due
to GFS and CMC influences which are more bullish on the ridge
breakdown than the GEFS or ECMWF.

&&

.AVIATION.../For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday night/
Issued at 1139 PM CDT Tue Jun 25 2019

Main concern is the ongoing convection. Expect that the most
widespread over far southwest/southern Iowa will lessen with time
over the next few hours as front begins to lift north. Some more
isolated convection is anticipated north toward KDSM, though
coverage remains more vicinity in nature. Toward morning another
MCS may approach western Iowa then decay into the morning hours.
Later in the afternoon, north sites expected to see increase in
convection aft 19-20z. Next shift will evaluate that potential.

...Locally Heavy Rains May Lead to Minor Flooding...

Over the past several hours, radar estimates suggest that up to 2
to possibly 3 inches or more of rain has fallen across portions
of southern and southwest Iowa this evening. Though no major
impacts have been reported so far, ponding of water in fields and
minor street flooding along with rises in area streams, creeks and
small rivers may occur across portions of Clarke, Decatur,
Ringgold, Union, Adams and Cass Counties yet tonight.

Be extra cautious if traveling across the region tonight. Never
drive through any flooded areas and if you see flooding in your
area, report it to local law enforcement. The area will continue
to be monitored tonight as showers and thunderstorms are still
tracking over portions of southwest and southern Iowa.
