Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Des Moines IA 340 PM CST Sat Jan 26 2019 .SHORT TERM.../Tonight through Sunday/ Issued at 334 PM CST Sat Jan 26 2019 Storm system Sunday night into Monday the main story. The models continue to track the system in a similar path, though the Euro is slightly farther south. Late this afternoon and early evening, some lingering light snow or flurries will continue over the north as a cold front drops south this evening. Temperatures have warmed up ahead of the passing weak low today, and some of the snow that fell along with the older snow already on the ground is likely to compact and crust over tonight. Behind the cold front, some clearing is expected but will only last about 3 to 5 hours prior to more clouds entering the region from the west northwest by 12z. Lows again will drop to well below zero over the northeast and east where highs struggled today to reach 10 F. Tomorrow's focus switches to the new storm which will impact mainly the northeast with snow and some mix over the remainder of the region late in the day and into the night. The models are in similar agreement with regard to placement and qpf amounts - though the Euro is slightly weaker with the storm as it crosses the region. Overall this has some implications on wind following the storm with about a 10 kt difference in speed and stronger gusts farther west with the Euro than either the GFS/NAM. By mid to late afternoon, strong isentropic lift into the frontal zone setting up over northern Iowa/MN/northern IL will set the stage for a rapid increase in snow during the afternoon/evening hours when the bulk of the snow will fall. Already by 06z, the area of stronger isentropic/mechanical lift will be moving off into southern Wisconsin with a rapid fall in H850 temperatures as an Arctic front is pulled south into the region. There is a period overnight where ice introduction is lost and/or a wintry mix of precipitation is anticipated from central to southern areas. The far south may even be warm enough for light rain or light drizzle prior to a changeover by 12z Monday. Storm totals of roughly 4 to 5 inches are expected in the warning areas (with slightly higher amounts in Winnebago/Worth Counties) with lighter amounts in the advisory areas. The added wind with the passage of the system will result in hazardous winter weather - especially late Sunday night into Monday morning. The far west is still somewhat in question due to less than anticipated snowfall and how strong the winds will be Sunday night. With some uncertainty and possibly a stronger likelihood that only advisory winds will be needed over the far west, have not issued any headlines for a wind watch as this time. An advisory can always be added overnight tonight for wind Sunday night, but the area around and south of US 30 over the west has little appreciable snow cover which should limit any blowing snow and need for a winter headline at this time. .LONG TERM.../Sunday night through Saturday/ Issued at 334 PM CST Sat Jan 26 2019 ***Confidence is high in dangerously cold and very low wind chills starting later Monday through the end of the week.*** .Overview: Snow will be ending on Monday, but winds will ramp up and turn gusty, especially across the western half of the state causing areas of blowing snow. Then, dangerously cold air with life threatening wind chills will arrive late Monday and persist through the end of the week. A clipper or two may impact the area with snow with the best chance centered around Thursday. .Details: Any lingering precipitation over northern and eastern Iowa will come to an end on Monday as surface low pressure moves toward the western Great Lakes with subsidence spreading over the state. Winds will already be quickening before sunrise Monday. There is a strong pressure rise (12mb/3 hour) that will weaken as it moves into southeast Iowa by 18z Monday. Before 18z therefore will be the time of strongest winds and gusts. Spatially, the higher wind potential will be over our western forecast area and western Iowa. BUFKIT soundings show winds at the top of the mixed layer at EST, FOD, and CSQ near 40 knots in the NAM and 45 knots in the GFS. Areas that are not covered by a winter headline may/will need a wind advisory headline, mainly across our western forecast area. Blowing snow will be a concern with these winds, mainly where there is falling snow or freshly fallen snow, which will be primarily over northeastern Iowa. Winds and blowing snow will subside through the afternoon into the early evening. However, the winds will still be elevated enough with colder air moving into the state for wind chill values to be 20 below by later Monday afternoon over northern Iowa and over north central into east central Iowa Monday night. On Tuesday, extremely cold air will be moving into the state with 500mb thickness of sub-480dam moving through Minnesota into Wisconsin as well as northeast Iowa. Life threatening low wind chills are increasingly likely from Tuesday through Friday morning with wind chill headlines almost certainly needed. Temperatures were largely weighted toward initial guidance, but did note this guidance was near the model mean across the north so did blend in some colder guidance. Wednesday morning will be the coldest with near record low temperatures and the lowest wind chill values. Low temperatures will bottom out in the middle teens below zero south to the middle 20s below zero north with wind chill values from 30 below south to around 50 below northeast Iowa. Highs on Wednesday are not forecast to get above zero across much of central Iowa. Wednesday night into Thursday morning will be another frigid morning with wind chill values of 20 to 30 below common. Thursday will still be cold, but this will be the first day of appreciable rises in thicknesses. Models also have a clipper moving into Iowa on northwest flow, though difference remain in placement and timing. While the GFS, FV3, and CMC all have this snow moving through on Thursday, the ECMWF is about 18 hours slower and is more Thursday night into Friday. The CMC is the lone global model favoring southwest Iowa with snow while the other global models favor northeast into central Iowa with snow. Blend of the models is preferred for now in this fast northwest flow. A final night of temperatures below zero is on tap Thursday night into Friday morning with most if not all of central Iowa below zero. Toward midday Friday, temperatures will rise above zero across all of central Iowa. For Mason City, this will bring an end to what the forecast currently has as 90 consecutive hours of below zero temperatures. && .AVIATION.../For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Sunday morning/ Issued at 340 PM CST Sat Jan 26 2019 Main concern linger light snow and cigs and a bit of mixing yet this afternoon. Will remain in MVFR/VFR until mid evening when a period of sct to clear occurs over the area. This will fill back into the region toward morning with a rapid lowering of cloud deck from west to central back to MVFR then to IFR toward 18z. Light snow is also expected to return to the region aft 12-15z Sunday. && .DMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
