622 FXUS63 KDMX 280740 AFDDMX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Des Moines IA 240 AM CDT Thu Mar 28 2024 .KEY MESSAGES... - Active through the period with periodic precipitation chances - Warmest day Friday (55 N TO 70 S), otherwise temperatures varying around normal through the period && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 137 AM CDT Thu Mar 28 2024 An active weather regime will continue through the period. Next weather-maker will come from a deepening upper low in the southwestern US. Energy will be ejecting from that low and pushing into the midwest at the same time as a stronger wave drops into the plains from a low in the northern stream. The associated surface low and attendant warm front are forecast to track across Iowa mainly Friday. With strong warm advection and lift above the warm front, could see thunderstorms Friday afternoon into Friday night especially in eastern portions of the forecast area. As we head into the weekend, the upper flow flattens into more of a zonal flow pattern. This will result in seasonal temperatures and a quiet day Saturday. Then Saturday night the next surface low approaches from the west and marks the beginning of an extended period of precipitation chances. Current model solutions suggest the favored location for the warm front is over northern Missouri. With the quick-changing nature of this pattern, confidence in the timing and track remain low for now. That said, it is likely that much of the forecast area will see precipitation in the Sunday/Monday time frame. && .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY/...
