Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
314 PM CDT Wed Apr 17 2019

.DISCUSSION.../Tonight through Wednesday/
Issued at 312 PM CDT Wed Apr 17 2019

The primary concern through the period will be convective trends
into this evening. At 19z a small cluster of shallow convection
was moving through west central sections, greatly driven by a
remnant MCV from overnight and early morning convection across NE.
While moving into an area of uncapped 500-1000 j/kg MLCAPEs, this
cluster will likely remain elevated and does not have much hope
of becoming surface based as it is moving through the warm sector
and gusty SW winds which have reached all the way to Mason City.
Thus the primary threat here would be marginal severe hail as it
moves into 30-40kts of effective shear. The only tornado potential
would appear to be in the far northeast corner near Waterloo
where the warm front has yet to pass, but winds there are expected
to flip SW soon ending any potential.

Somewhat more robust and surface based convection may develop
farther south along the front however from southern IA into MO
where instability is somewhat higher. Low level convergence is not
strong, but likely adequate and recent radar trends suggest that
is already in progress. The hail environment is somewhat similar
south, but there may be more wind potential there with greater
mixing in progress leading to higher ceilings and DCAPEs from I-80
south. Little tornado threat there either with surface winds
already veered to southwest. The convection allowing models have a
decent handle on these progressions and depict a broken line
moving through the forecast area through late afternoon, likely
exiting the far southeast corner early this evening. Cooler temps,
cumulus and brisk northwest winds will be in place in the
trailing cyclonic flow tomorrow. There may be some very isolated
showers as well during the afternoon, but dry in most locations.

The large mean trough responsible for our storms and frontal
passage should close off through the OH Valley by Friday leading
to a brief period of weak ridging before the development of a
western CONUS trough. This will make our cool down brief with a
return to warm temperatures for the weekend. A northern stream
short wave will bring a dry, weak frontal passage through late
Saturday, but this will only drop us back to normal at worst.
Models differ quite a bit on the evolution of the aforementioned
western trough from late in the weekend into early next week. The
GFS is farther north with the forcing and baroclinic zone into IA
and includes a much stronger short wave ejecting out of the long
wave trough through the MO Valley. The ECMWF is much less bullish
however so have played a compromise with chance category broad
brush PoPs Sun into Tue, but confidence is low. If 12z ECMWF
trends persist however, the forecast would ultimately be drier.

.AVIATION.../For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon/
Issued at 1257 PM CDT Wed Apr 17 2019

Widespread VFR/MVFR ceilings were in place across central IA at
18z with patchy showers and a few storms underway. Coverage and
intensity of storms is expected to increase and begin to affect
TAF sites in the 20Z-00Z along an approaching cold front, lasting
for a few hours at any particular location. The precipitation
potential should end sharply during the evening but will likely be
followed by at least MVFR stratus and continued low end wind gusts
into Thursday.
