.SHORT TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
Issued at 153 PM CDT Tue Jun 25 2024
We have 3,000-4,500 J/kg of SBCAPE across the area this
afternoon as weak shortwave energy passes through, which will
result in isolated pop-up showers and storms into this evening.
Shear is very weak, so storms will be pulsey and disorganized.
No severe weather is expected with this convection.
Heat is obviously an issue this afternoon with temperatures in
the mid 90s and dew points in the mid to upper 70s as of 2pm,
resulting in heat index values
Additional, potentially severe, convection is then likely
tonight. Storms are expected to develop across western Iowa,
then grow upscale and move southward through the night.
Additional storms may develop ahead of the complex. The main
concern is with the MCS activity, where a damaging wind threat
of 60-70mph is the primary concern. This may linger in the
morning hours on Wednesday, but models vary by a few hours on
timing, placement, and strength, which limits confidence in
specific details.
Highs on Wednesday should be cooler with highs in the mid 80s to
low 90s currently expected, but that will be highly dependent on
convective evolution. Could be cooler or warmer if precip/cloud
stick around longer or dissipate more quickly.

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Issued at 153 PM CDT Tue Jun 25 2024
Thursday will be another "cooler" day with highs in the mid 80s
to low 90s, but heat builds back in on Friday. Friday highs are
forecast to range from the low to upper 90s with max heat index
values from the upper 90s to around 105.
We see a return of area-wide PoPs Saturday into Saturday night
as a cold front may move through. There severe weather potential
is not clear right now, but does not appear to be too great.
Look for highs in the upper 80s to mid 90s Saturday, which may
change if the timing of the front and convection changes. Sunday
should be cooler with highs in the 80s and 20-40% chances for
precip.
The repetitive cycle of jumping right back to heat continues
early next week with highs in the 90s for Monday and Tuesday.
Could see a need for more heat advisories if this verifies.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 1223 PM CDT Tue Jun 25 2024
VFR conditions will continue today, but a few pop-up showers and
storms will be possible this afternoon and evening. A complex of
storms is expected to develop across Iowa this evening, which is
then expected to dive southward and may impact the area late
this evening into Wednesday morning. There is limited confidence
in forecast details related to the thunderstorm potential as
there is considerable uncertainty with timing, track, and
strength of the complex.
