Hail in Iowa, July 11, 2010

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
904 PM CDT SUN JUL 11 2010

.DISCUSSION...
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED IN NORTHWEST IOWA LONG A
BOUNDARY EXTENDING FROM NEAR SPW TO ORC AT 02Z. AS THE ATMOSPHERE
BEGINS TO STABILIZE EXPECT THESE STORMS TO SLOWLY WEAKEN BEFORE
DISSIPATING AROUND MIDNIGHT. BUT DID KEEP ISOL TO SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS IN NORTHWEST IOWA DURING THAT TIME. WITH DEW POINTS
STILL 70 ENOUGH INSTABILITY EXISTS TO SUPPORT SMALL HAIL IN THE
STRONGEST UPDRAFT.  A FEW OTHER CELLS MAY BE ABLE TO MOVE FROM
NORTHERN NEBRASKA INTO SOUTHCENTRAL SD THIS EVENING. AN ISOLATED
STORM MAY BE ABLE TO PRODUCE SMALL HAIL AS WELL THROUGH 04Z.

PER PREVIOUS FORECAST...ANOTHER WAVE WILL MOVING INTO WRN SD THROUGH
THE NIGHT AND HELP KEEP DEVELOP MORE CONVECTION OVER NRN NEBRASKA.
SOME OF THIS CONVECTION WILL MOVE INTO THE MISSOURI VALLEY LATE
TONIGHT AND CONTINUE MONDAY MORNING SO HAVE RAISED POPS INTO MONDAY
MORNING AROUND SUX.  THESE SHOWERS AND STORMS SHOULD DISSIPATE AS
THEY MOVE INTO WRN IOWA BUT AS A STRONGER WAVE MOVES INTO WRN SD IN
THE AFTERNOON THERE WILL BE AN INCREASED CHANCE OF MORE STORMS IN
SOUTH CENTRAL SD AND ALSO RAISED POPS FOR THE AFTERNOON IN THIS
AREA. THESE MAY ALSO APPROACH SUX LATE IN THE AFTERNOON.

OTHERWISE...TEMPS LOOK ON TRACK THIS EVENING AND EXCEPT FOR SOME
FINETUNING OF HOURLY TEMPS AND DEW POINTS THIS EVENING NO REAL
CHANGES.  UPDATED GRIDS AND ZFP HAVE BEEN SENT./SCHUMACHER

.AVIATION DISCUSSION...

BOUNDARY PUSHING SOUTH TOWARDS KSUX WITH WIDELY SCATTERED -TSRA
ALONG FRONT ATTM.  -TSRA ACTIVITY SHOULD DISSIPATE WITH THE LOSS OF
THE SUN...SO EXPECT IT TO BE PRETTY MUCH A NON-ISSUE.  LEFTOVER
CLOUD DEBRIS WILL BE OVER MOST OF CWA DURING THE OVERNIGHT.  I DID
INCLUDE A CHANCE FOR -TSRA DURING THE OVERNIGHT AS NEBRASKA ACTIVITY
PUSHES EASTWARD.  ALL CIGS SHOULD BE VFR AND WINDS WILL BE LIGHT.
PLENTY OF CONVECTIVE BOUNDARIES AROUND THOUGH TO MADE WIND FORECASTS
A CHALLENGE.

&&
.PREV DICUSSION
SEVERAL ILL DEFINED BOUNDARIES WORKING ACRS THE AREA THIS AFTN.
LINGERING MOISTURE HAS PRODUCED SOME MODEST ML INSTABILITY...BUT
EXPECT THAT EXTENSIVE SC FIELD SHOWING THAT MODELS LACK OF CAP IS
IN ERROR. STILL HOLDING EXPECTATIONS THAT SCT TS WL DEVELOP ALG
ONE OF THE BOUNDARIES THAT HAVE A FEW CELLS FARTHER EWRD INTO MN.
SEVERE THREAT WOULD LOOK TO BE FAIRLY REMOTE...WITH SHEAR NOT GREAT
ENOUGH TO SUPPORT ROTATION...KEEPING ANY DEVELOPMENT MULTICELLULAR
AND HAIL/WIND MARGINAL. LATER IN NIGHT...AN UPSTREAM WAVE IN MT
WL SLIDE ESEWRD. LEADING PCPN AREA IN NWRN CWA WL GRADUALLY
DISSIPATE AS DRIER AIR UNDERCUTS. MORE ORGANIZED CONVECTION/MCS
DEVELOPING TONIGHT WRN SD SHUD TAKE MORE OF A RIGHT TURN WITH
TIME...MEANING SERN MT/NERN WY/WRN SD CONVECTION SHUD MOVE MAINLY
INTO NEBRASKA LATER IN THE NIGHT. HOWEVER...DID RAISE POPS AND
INCREASE GRADIENT INTO THE FAR SWRN CWA.  /CHAPMAN

INDISTINCT SHORT WAVE MOVES ESEWD NEAR MISSOURI VALLEY ON MON AND
SHOULD BRING CHCS OF SHRA/TSRA ALONG WITH IT. TIMING IS IFFY...BUT
THIS LOOKS TO BE A NON DIURNAL MID LVL EVENT...SO SHOULD NOT BE A
DUMPER. CLOUDS...ANY PRECIP...AND ELY FLOW SHOULD PUT A DAMPER ON
HIGHS FOR MON. WEAK WAVE PULLS OUT THRU SERN CWA MON EVE...BUT THEN
RETURN SELY FLOW SETS UP IN SWRN CWA LATER MON NGT WITH A SLGT CHC
TSTMS. STRONG WARM ADVECTION AND RETURN SSELY FLOW OF WARMER AND
MORE HUMID AIR SPREADS EWD OVER CWA TUES AHEAD OF NEXT BIG SHORT
WAVE CRASHING OVER THE NRN PLAINS BY WED. CAPPING WILL LIKELY
PREVENT MUCH CONVECTION ON TUES EXCEPT PSBLY ON EDGE OF CAP IN NWRN
CWA BY AFTN. THE CONVECTION CHANCES GET MUCH MORE INTERESTING NORTH
OF I90 TUES NGT AS SLY LLJ INTERACTS WITH BREAKING CAP AHEAD OF
SHORT WAVE. APPEARS TO BE QUITE A BIT OF SHEAR...MLCAPES...AND STEEP
LAPSE RATES WHICH WILL MOVE SEWD ALONG WITH A PSBL MCS FROM TUES
NGT THRU WED. THIS SYSTEM STRONG ENUF TO GO MORE ON DYNAMICS THAN
DIURNAL HEATING. CDFNT/OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WILL PROBABLY COOL HIGHS
QUITE A BIT IN NRN CWA ON WED...BUT SRN CWA HAS CHC TO HEAT OUT.
NWLY FLOW BRINGS IN COOLER AND DRIER AIR FOR WED NGT INTO THU
MRNG...BUT THEN AIR MASS RECOVERS IN THE AFTN WITH WSWLY FLOW. NEXT
PROBLEM IS TIMING NEXT SIGNIFICANT SHORT WAVE AND CDFNT SOMETIME
FROM FRI NGT TO SAT NGT...WHICH WILL DETERMINE TIMING OF NEXT CHC
TSTMS. WENT WITH EARLIER TIMING FOR NOW BASED ON EARLIER EC AND GFS
AND ALSO 12Z CANADIAN...BUT MAY HAVE TO BE SLOWED DOWN WITH LATER
FCSTS. LOOKS TO BE A WARM AND UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN UFN./ RYRHOLM
