.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 310 PM CDT Fri Aug 19 2022

Stacked upper low will track southeast into eastern IA with
several rounds of showers and thunderstorms through Saturday. The
more widespread pcpn should occur during the afternoon and evening
with the heating of the day. SPC has a slight risk for severe
thunderstorms through this evening, with a marginal risk for
Saturday afternoon and evening. Large hail and damaging winds are
the main risks but a tornado or two is possible with the atmosphere
rotating with the upper low overhead. In addition, the storms
will be slow moving so heavy rainfall is likely. lows tonight in
the lower 60s with highs on Saturday in the mid to upper 70s.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Friday)
Issued at 310 PM CDT Fri Aug 19 2022

Key Message:

1) Mostly dry weather ahead of us, with seasonal temperatures
forecast. Setting up to be a beautiful start to the work week!

Discussion...

Sunday will be the start of a stretch of beautiful weather for the
area. The cut off low will continue to slowly push off to the east,
allowing high pressure to filter into the area. While we may see
some lingering showers early Sunday morning, those will quickly move
out and leave much of the area dry through the day. High pressure
will stick around through the first half of the week, with light
winds, mostly clear skies, and seasonal temperatures.

With high pressure overhead, precipitation chances through the first
half of the week will be little to none. Mid to late week, we get
under northwest flow, which will put us in a pattern with the chance
to get a handful of weak systems that push through. Thus, Wednesday
and beyond, we can start to see precipitation chances on the rise.
At this time, we aren't seeing any hints at large and widespread
rainfall/thunderstorm events through the week.
