AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE QUAD CITIES IA IL
300 PM CDT SUN AUG 13 2006

.SYNOPSIS...
THE WELL ADVERTISED COLD FRONT HAS NOW REACHED THE NORTHWEST CORNER
OF IOWA AS OF 2 PM.  ELEVATED STORMS THAT FORMED OVERNIGHT...ARE
CONTINUING TO DEVELOP AND MOVE NORTHEAST AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT.
THIS ACTIVITY IS GRADUALLY BECOMING SURFACE BASED ON ITS
OUTFLOW...WHICH IS ROUGHLY ALONG A LINE FROM WATERLOO...TO
LAMONI...TO NORTHEAST KANSAS.  PLENTY OF CAPE EXISTS SOUTHEAST OF
THIS BOUNDARY...WITH THE BEST INSTABILITY IMPACTING SOUTH CENTRAL
IOWA. A LARGE AND STRONG SHORT WAVE TROF IS MOVING EAST THROUGH THE
NORTHERN PLAINS RIGHT NOW...WHICH IS AIDING THE ELEVATED
CONVECTION.  MODELS TRY TO BLOW UP NEW STORMS ON THE ACTUAL COLD
FRONT THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...BUT WE FEEL ANY SIGNIFICANT
ACTIVITY WILL BE ALONG THE STORM OUTFLOW BOUNDARY EAST OF THE FRONT.

&&

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND MONDAY...
THE THUNDERSTORM EVENT APPEARS TO FALL DIRECTLY IN THE 00 TO 12Z
TIME FRAME.  WE HAVE CARRIED HIGH POPS FOR THIS PERIOD FOR SEVERAL
DAYS...AND WE WONT DROP THEM NOW...SO 70 TO 90 PERCENT WILL STAND.
THE MAIN CHANGE IN OUR FORECAST IN COMPARISON TO MODEL PERFORMANCE
WILL BE THE TIMING OF THE EVENT. SINCE IT APPEARS DEEP CONVECTION
WILL BE MOST PRONOUNCED ON THE STORM OUTFLOW AHEAD OF THE FRONT...IT
SHOULD ENTER AND LEAVE THE CWA EARLIER THAN FORECAST BY ANY MODEL.
THIS MAINLY WILL BRING THE MATURE STAGE INTO THE CWA FARTHER BEFORE
DISSIPATING...RESULTING IN STRONGER MORE WIDESPREAD STORMS...AND
SOMEWHAT HEAVIER RAINS. SEVERE CONVECTIONS STILL APPEARS LIMITED DUE
TO HIGH FREEZING LEVELS...AND LIMITED CAPE...BUT SOME STRONG WIND
GUSTS WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS EVENING...ESPECIALLY SOUTHWEST WHERE
INSTABILITY WILL BE GREATEST. RAINFALL LOOKS TO BE ON THE ORDER OF A
HALF TO 1 INCH IN MOST LOCATIONS WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI...AND A
QUARTER TO HALF INCH EAST.  BY MONDAY MORNING...THE STORMS SHOULD
RAPIDLY MOVE OUT IN THE EAST...WITH BREEZY AND PLEASANT CONDITIONS
LASTING THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY AS CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE MOVES IN.
...ERVIN...
&&

.LONG TERM...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES INTO THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY.  PLENTIFUL AUGUST SUNSHINE SHOULD HELP PUSH DAYTIME TEMPS
AT OR ABOVE GUIDANCE VALUES.

THIS DRY PATTERN HOLDS UNTIL UPPER LEVEL FLOW BECOMES ZONAL LATER IN
THE WEEK.  GFS...ECM AND UMMET IN FAIR AGREEMENT AND INDICATE AN
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH PASSAGE THURSDAY. WITH ADEQUATE MOISTURE IN
PLACE...HAVE UPPED POPS A BIT THURSDAY NIGHT-FRIDAY.  THE SURFACE
FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM SLOWLY MOVES THROUGH THE AREA
FRIDAY INTO EARLY SATURDAY.  A SECOND TROUGH IS PROGGED INTO THE
UPPER MIDWEST SUNDAY...SO PRECIP CHANCES WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE
WEEKEND.  WOLF

.DVN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
IA...NONE.
IL...NONE.
MO...NONE.
