NWS Forecaster Discussion
167 fxus63 kdmx 211112 aaa afddmx Area forecast discussion...updated National Weather Service Des Moines Iowa 612 am CDT sun Mar 21 2010 Short term /today/... a high pressure ridge currently over northwest Iowa early this morning will remain nearly stationary through the day as deep low pressure well to our south plods slowly east. Regional radar continues to show light returns southeast of a Corydon to Oskaloosa line in the northern periphery of deformation zone...but nothing has been reaching the surface thanks to a very dry sub cloud layer. Todays forecast is mainly one of temperature and dewpoint. A modifying cold airmass and full sunshine across the northwest half should allow temperatures to rise near or above the higher end of guidance. Over the southeast...kept temperatures closer to cooler end under the greater cloud cover. Soundings from the north into central areas indicate quite a bit of dry air aloft that could mix down during the late morning and afternoon...so have dropped dewpoints lower than guidance. Long term /Monday through Friday/... in general we stay in a zonal to northwest flow pattern aloft during the extended with a gradual warmup early in the week followed by a little cooler middle to late week. The system that models were depicting to affect central Iowa on Wednesday now looks like it will stay to our south and west. The GFS shifts the system furthest to the south while the Euro still hints at a weak wave rippling across central Iowa and at least a brief period of showers. However this is a drastic shift in that models thinking from yesterday and the Gem...which yesterday was a blend of the GFS and the Euro now also shifts the system further south. I removed probability of precipitation everywhere but the far southern counties where some threat for precipitation still exists but I am not expecting much out of this system. Little change to temperatures were needed except that I did bring highs down a touch late in the week and nudged temperatures higher for Tuesday. && Aviation... 21/12z...VFR conditions through the taf period. Middle-altitude ceilings southeast of kdsm will dissolve during the day. && Dmx watches/warnings/advisories...none $$ Short term/aviation...Moyer long term...fab
