Flash Flood Warning 15, NWS Quad Cities, IA

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE QUAD CITIES IA IL
245 AM CDT THU JUN 6 1996

VERY DIFFICULT SURFACE ANNALYSIS DUE TO THUNDERSTORM NUMEROUS OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES AND MORE THAN A COUPLE OF FRONTS.  00Z DVN SOUNDING SHOWED
IT ALL... JUST NOT MUCH CAPE TO BE HAD.  LOCALIZED CONVERGENCE ALONG
BOUNDARIES WERE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE SOME ISOLATED HEAVY RAIN HOWEVER.
LAST BAND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HEADED OUT OF THE AREA AT THIS
TIME.

HAVE NOT HAD TIME TO LOOK AT MUCH GRIDDED DATA TONIGHT BUT CURRENT
SATELLITE SHOWS CLOUDS BLOWING BY THE AREA AND AM CONCERNED ABOUT
POTENTIAL FOR FOG THIS MORNING.  DEPENDS ON HOW LONG WINDS REMAIN FROM
THE NORTHWEST BEHIND THE BAND OF PRECIPITATION.  THEY ARE LIGHT SO ANY
EFFECT WILL BE SMALL BUT IF THEY REMAIN NW 3-5 AND FOG... SHOULD THEY
RETURN SOUTHERLY OR GO LIGHT VISIBILITIES BELOW 3 ARE POSSIBLE WITH ANY
PROLONGED CLEARING.  BEST CHANCE APEARS NORTH OF I80.

BELIEVE THAT THE TRUE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE BY THE AREA AROUND THE LUNCH
HOUR AND TOO EARLY TO HAVE TO WORRY MUCH ABOUT POPS ALONG THE FRONT.
WORRY ABOUT THE FATE OF THE MCS ACROSS NEBRASKA AND IF IT WILL MAKE IT
THIS WAY.  THE 500 SHORT WAVE REMAINS ACROSS NEBRASKA AND SENDS A NICE
VORT MAX THIS WAY AFTER FROPA.  ALL THIS WILL GIVE US ENOUGH CHANCES AT
SOME RAIN SO WILL GO WITH 40 POPS TODAY... BUT BELIEVE THE HIGH
GUIDANCE POPS ARE OVER DONE.  WOULD PREFER TO REMOVE THE MENTION OF
MAINLY IN THE MORNING AND HANDLE IN THE NOW DUE TO THE COMPLEXITY OF
THE SYSTEM. THE ATMOSPHERE IS/WILL BE TO WORKED OVER AND WIND FIELDS TO
DISTURBED FOR MUCH ORGANIZED PRECIPITATION SO LIGHT QPF.

...NEWLY DEVELOPED THUNDERSTORMS AND THE POSIBILITY OF FLOODING...

A NEWLY DEVELOPED LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS EXTENING JUST NORTH OF AN
OTTUMWA TO GALESBURG LINE THREATENS TO PRODUCE VERY HEAVY RAINFALL.
THESE THUNDERSTORMS ARE MOVING WEST TO EAST ALONG THE LINE AND THIS
WILL PRODUCE A NARROW LINE OF VERY HEAVY RAINFALL.

THIS TYPE OF SENERIO IS CALLED TRAINING... AND IS KNOWN TO CAUSE
EXTREME FLOODING IN SOME SITUATIONS.  THESE STORMS WILL QUICKLY PRODUCE
PONDING OF WATER ON AREA ROADS AND FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS WILL LIKEY BE
ISSUED WHEN THE EXACT LOCATION OFL THE LINE IS KNOWN.

PERSONS ALONG AND NORTH OF HIGHWAY 34 WILL NEED TO MONITOR THEIR
SITUATION AND PREPARE FOR POSSIBLE FLOODING.
