WEAK "COOL" FRONTAL PUSHED ANY INSTABILITY AND THUNDERSTORM
CHANCES SOUTH INTO MO EARLIER TODAY. IN ITS WAKE,
FORCING/MOISTURE ALONG THE TRAILING H7 FRONT HAS BEEN ENOUGH TO
PRODUCE AREA OF LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS THIS AFTERNOON FOR AREAS
ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80. AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN/WILL
CONTINUE TO BE VERY LIGHT - PERHAPS AS MUCH AS A FEW HUNDREDTHS
OF AN INCH. LIFT WANES AND MOISTURE DEPARTS THIS EVENING, AND
SO TOO WILL THE SHOWER CHANCES. LATEST HRRR NEAR-SURFACE SMOKE
OUTPUT KEEPS SMOKE FROM CANADIAN WILDFIRES THRU THE OVERNIGHT
FOR AREAS GENERALLY ACROSS GENERALLY THE SOUTHERN 2/3 OF THE
STATE, WITH SOME DISPERSION TOWARDS MORNING. OTHERWISE THE PARENT
UPPER LOW NEAR THE BOUNDARY WATERS AT THE MOMENT, WILL SLOWLY
DIVE SOUTHEAST INTO WI BY MIDDAY MONDAY, SLIDING ANOTHER MID-
LEVEL SHORTWAVE AND ASSOCIATED "COOL" FRONT INTO NORTHEAST IA.
SHOWER CHANCES (20-50 PERCENT) WILL BE CONFINED TO MAINLY
NORTHEAST COUNTIES AS A RESULT. SIMILAR TO TODAY, LIMITED
LIFT/INSTABILITY WILL RESULT IN ANY AMOUNTS BEING VERY LIGHT.
ELSEWHERE CONDITIONS WILL BE DRY BENEATH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES
ALONG WITH NORTHWEST WINDS THAT WILL TURN BREEZY WITH GUSTS OF
20-30 MPH COMMON MOST PLACES.
THE PESKY UPPER LOW FINALLY DEPARTS MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY
LEAVING DRY NORTHWEST FLOW WITH TEMPERATURES REBOUNDING AS H85
WARM-AIR THERMAL ADVECTION RETURNING; AND ALONG WITH FULL
INSOLATION WILL BOOST TEMPERATURES BACK INTO THE 80S AND TUESDAY
AND WHAT WILL LIKELY BE THE FIRST 90S OF THE SEASON FOR
WEDNESDAY.
THE NEXT ORGANIZED AND MORE WIDESPREAD RAIN CHANCES RETURN TO
IOWA BEGINNING LATE WEDNESDAY, CONTINUING OFF AND ON THROUGH THE
END OF THE WEEK. LATEST MODEL OUTPUT STALLS THE WARM FRONTAL
BOUNDARY SOMEWHERE ACROSS NORTHERN IOWA/SOUTHERN MINNESOTA
BEGINNING LATE WEDNESDAY, CONTINUING INTO THURSDAY. PWATS
INCREASE TO 1.5-2, WHICH WOULD PUT IT AT 90% OF HISTORICAL DAILY
NORMS. ALL THIS TO SAY THAT THIS WILL BE FAVORABLE SET-UP FOR A
SWATH OF GOOD RAIN NEAR WHERE THE WARM FRONT ENDS UP AT.
INSTABILITY WILL SUFFICIENT FOR SEVERE POTENTIAL AS WELL,
ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTHERN IOWA ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING.
DETAILS WILL BECOME MORE CLEAR OVER THE COMING DAYS.
AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY/
ISSUED AT 629 PM CDT SUN JUN 8 2025
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE PERIOD. SPOTTY SHOWERS
ARE EXPECTED IN NORTHEAST IOWA MONDAY MORNING THROUGH AFTERNOON
AND HAVE HIGHLIGHTED THE MOST LIKELY PERIOD WITH A PROB30 GROUP
AT KMCW. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO OUT OF THE NORTHWEST BY MONDAY
MORNING ACROSS ALL SITES WITH GUSTS OF 20-25 KTS EXPECTED INTO
THE AFTERNOON.
