.Much of the snowfall and wintry mix precipitaiton has ended

snow may be seen in eastern areas, it will be nominal and should

this afternoon may cause brief localized blowing snow in areas

travel conditions.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Des Moines IA
1128 PM CST Fri Feb 7 2020

.DISCUSSION.../Tonight through Friday/
Issued at 309 PM CST Fri Feb 7 2020

.Overview...Lingering light snow or flurries, mainly over southeast
into central Iowa, will come to an end late this afternoon or early
this evening. Focus then is on the significant winter storm that
will largely be focused over northern Iowa and southern Minnesota
Saturday night into Sunday. Trends for the mid-week system are
beginning to favor perhaps a drier conditions, though there still
remains some uncertainty.

.Details...Early afternoon GOES-East clean IR imagery shows the
longwave trough still over the central and eastern US with the axis
now into the Ohio and Tennessee River Valleys. Shortwave trough
embedded in this longwave trough is beginning to move out of the
state to the southeast with light snow winding down over all but the
southeastern part of the forecast area. Forecast soundings from the
HRRR and RAP show low level saturation lingering with weak lift
within this saturation indicating some final flurries before all the
snow ends. This low level saturation seems to correspond fairly well
with the stratus as viewed in the Day Cloud Phase Distinction and
Day Snow Fog RGBs and also with surface observations that have -SN
reported underneath these clouds. Therefore, have added flurries on
the northwest side of the more persistent snow that will taper off
later this afternoon or evening.

Surface high pressure will build into the region tonight and move
out on Saturday as the flow in the mid-levels splits off into a
northern stream shortwave and the other piece forming a closed low
over the southwestern US. The northern stream shortwave with an
associated surface low pressure will advance towards the state
Saturday night with a majority of models (12z GFS/12z GEFS/12z
EC/12z CMC) having the low passing through northern if not central
Iowa. The one outlier is the 12z NAM that has the low passing along
the Iowa/Minnesota border. As the low approaches the state, low level
thermal lift will increase and there will be strong QG convergence
moving in overhead as well. Initially, cross sections do show dry
air in the low levels around 00z over northern Iowa, but that will
erode away between 3z and 6z. As saturation does occur, a strong
frontogenetical band, which will be maximized in the 850-700mb
layer, will move over northern Iowa and southern Minnesota. Cross
sections show strong lift in the dendritic growth zone over northern
Iowa starting around 6z (snow onset roughly) lingering to around
12z. If the NAM's surface low track verifies, this strong lift may
be very focused over southern Minnesota. At this time range, there
appears to be high confidence in strong lift within the dendritic
growth zone for enhanced snow rates of 1"/hour over northern Iowa
and/or southern Minnesota. This is supported by this morning's 12z
HREF probability of 1"/hr snow rates with isolated 2"/hr rates over
southern Minnesota. This area of enhanced snow rates and therefore
snow totals will be further refined as the event enters the forecast
window of the high resolution guidance (e.g. HRRR, RAP) in the
upcoming forecast cycles.

Writing about snow totals, the track of the low will be a key piece
and that is why it was mentioned earlier. While warmer air will be
drawn into the state in the low levels, this will allow for some of
the snow from Saturday night to changeover to rain during the day
Sunday. Further, a dry slot will move in over southern and central
Iowa on Sunday, though how far north will depend on the exact low
track. The dry slot will either 1) end ice introduction resulting in
a change from snow to freezing drizzle or rain to drizzle where it
is warm enough or 2) end precipitation all together. Either one of
these scenarios will serve to bring a sharp cut off to the higher
snow totals, which will likely be over northern Iowa. As the low
passes, winds will become from the northwest and turn gusty. How
gusty will again depend on low track with BUFKIT NAM profiles
suggesting wind gusts to around 35 mph while the BUFKIT GFS profiles
are not as strong. All the precipitation will come to an end by
Sunday evening as large scale subsidence and drying enter the area.

High pressure will pass through the region early next week followed
by a shortwave trough and associated moisture-starved, cold front
diving southward. The aforementioned closed low over the
southwestern US will begin to move eastward toward the central and
southern Plains early next week. There is still some disagreement on
how high pressure will move over the northern Plains, but there has
been a trend in the deterministic models of pushing the
precipitation farther south.
