What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Des Moines, IA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind advisory went out at Apr 10, 4:22 AM CDT, 3 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 10, 4:22 AM CDT, 3 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Des Moines IA 422 AM CDT Wed Apr 10 2019 .SHORT TERM.../Today through Tonight/ Issued at 420 AM CDT Wed Apr 10 2019 */ Highlights... - Strong, headline-worthy winds expected today into Thursday - Notable temperature gradient across Iowa today - Showers today north, thunderstorms arriving late */ Overview... Well-advertised cyclonic system beginning to push off the Rockies. Two upper lows one near ID/MT/WY, the other near the Four Corners Region undergoing something of a Fujiwara Effect/phasing as they build and begin to eject off the Rockies. Hi-res models coming well aligned for today with placing the resultant sfc low near central KS by 00z Thu. Baroclinicity showing itself to be very high with this system as 09z Wed temperatures are in the mid 40s across central Nebraska, to the mid 60s across central Kansas. Radar picking up on a NW-SE oriented band of precip across north- central to northern Iowa. This precip is associated with a strong band of 800-700mb frontogenesis serving as a focusing mechanism ahead of the initial moisture surge with our main system. This precip will likely bring around 0.25 to 0.5 inches or so of rain to northern Iowa this morning and today. Temperatures are such that this precip should generally remain in the form of rain... though a few nil- impact sleet/ice pellets are briefly possible in far northern Iowa. Thunderstorms will begin to move into Iowa from west/sw to east late today into the overnight hours. Some of these storms may be strong to severe. This will be addressed in better detail in the long-term section of this AFD. */ Hazardous Wind Potential... Winds are forecast to be very strong with this system. Models bottoming out the sfc low around 980mb today. Current sfc pressure in Iowa around 1010 mb, so certainly a notable gradient. By this afternoon, pressure gradient, particularity in western Iowa, slated to reach 3mb/50km, which is strong for Iowa. 3-hr pressure falls around 3mb/hour this afternoon to increase overnight tonight. Looking at vertical profile, winds get strong in a hurry off the deck. RAP Forecast soundings in Iowa have 40 to 45kts at about 2000ft by this afternoon across the central to western portions of the state. In all, highly supportive of sustained winds of 25 to 35 mph, and gusts to (at least)45 mph. Impacts... Wanted to make special note of winds pretty much from due east. This will especially impact travel on north-south oriented roads such as I-35. So expanded wind adv. to northeastern counties of the DMX CWA for this afternoon, even though winds may not reach the criteria level by numerical definition. The strong easterly component to the wind will amplify travel impacts on I-35. Travel with extra caution today on north-south oriented roads. .LONG TERM.../Thursday through Tuesday/ Issued at 420 AM CDT Wed Apr 10 2019 The forecast challenges with the strong spring system for tonight into Thursday night are thunderstorm chances tonight, the timing of the cold front arrival Thursday then potential for a switch over to snow Thursday night. The system track continues to inch further west and north which means less rainfall overall for the area and will help limit any flooding threat and will minimize winter weather potential across the north. The surface low pressure, which is currently at 990 mb over east central Colorado is expected to deepen to near 982 mb by this evening over central Kansas. A 75 kt low level jet (LLJ) will ramp up quickly east of the surface low over eastern Kansas and western Missouri and pointing directly into Iowa. The LLJ will bring a strong surge of theta-e advection to the state with mid level lapse rates near 8.5 C/km and MUCAPES in excess of 1000 J/kg expected. Expect an area of elevate thunderstorms to develop overnight an race north/northeast. These storms will have an attendant large hail threat. In addition, it is possible that a few wind gusts in excess of 50s kts occur. In addition to the thunderstorm potential, strong and gusty easterly winds will be ongoing overnight. The surface pressure gradient will be strong for much of the state as the surface low pressure lifts northeast towards southeast Nebraska. Despite shallow mixing overnight to near 925 mb, mixed layer winds of 40+ kts are likely through a good portion of the overnight. Sustained winds over 30 mph or greater with gusts of 45 mph or greater expected. Therefore the Wind Advisory will persist into early Thursday. The surface low will lift north along the Iowa/Nebraska border on Thursday and will drag a narrow thermal ridge northeast through central Iowa. This should allow temperatures to warm into the low to mid 60s southeast while far northern Iowa will remain hovering near 40. By late Thursday and into the overnight, the rare southwest wind cold front will be moving into central Iowa as the cold air wraps around the south edge of the system. The upper low will begin to move east/northeast late Thursday night into Friday with light rain changing to light snow. Minor accumulations possible over northern Iowa. Minimal impacts from any winter weather with 4 inch soil temperatures across Iowa ranging from the upper 40s across north central Iowa to the low to mid 50s south. Road temperatures currently are similar. Total rainfall amounts of one to two inches remain possible, mainly north of Highway 20, which has shifted northward by nearly 30 miles from 24 hrs ago. In addition, the high end amounts over far northern Iowa had trended lower. This will help alleviate flooding potential and concerns though rises on some streams remains likely. The low pressure system will depart on Friday but will leave Iowa under cool cyclonic curvature along with 850 mb temperatures in the -3C to -8C range. High temperatures Friday in the 30s and 40s are expected but the coolness will be further amplified by gusty west winds that will drop apparent temperatures into the 20s and 30s. Ridge of high pressure will arrive late Friday night into Saturday and will bring relief from several days of gusty winds. Temperatures Saturday morning will be in the 20s to low 30s followed by highs in the 40s and 50s Saturday. The next system to monitor is on Sunday. The ECMWF remains the farther north outlier lifting an upper level system into southeast Iowa. Other solutions favor a deeper upper low over northern Minnesota and keeping the southern stream system further south. Do have pops into southeast Iowa for Sunday but again some uncertainty on this system remains. && .AVIATION.../For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday night/ Issued at 1203 AM CDT Tue Apr 9 2019 Showers and a few thunderstorms will continue across northern Iowa overnight as strong warm advection persists. VFR ceilings and visibilities will drop to MVFR and eventually IFR toward daybreak and continue restricted through the remainder of the forecast in northern Iowa. Farther south, ceilings will remain high with either VFR or MVFR during the forecast period. In all locations, strong east winds will develop overnight and continue to increase through Wednesday as a surface low deepens across the Plains. && .DMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
