AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE QUAD CITIES IA IL
1130 AM CDT WED JUL 18 2007

.UPDATE...
HAVE UPDATED FORECAST GRIDS FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT TO REFLECT
CURRENT CONDITIONS AND THINKING FOR CONVECTIVE EVOLUTION LATER.
16Z SURFACE ANALYSIS INDICATES BOUNDARY EXTENDING FROM NEAR
THUNDER BAY TO KAEL TO FAR SERN SD. SURFACE DEWPOINTS ARE HAVING
NO TROUBLE REACHING THE 70S AHEAD OF THE FRONT SEEING AN OCCASIONAL
SPRINKLE OUT OF THE VERY HIGH CLOUDS OVER THE CWA...SO HAVE
DROPPED POPS FOR THE REST OF MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON INTO THE
ISOLATED CATEGORY. DECK OF THICK CI IS PUSHING SELY THROUGH THE
AREA...WITH BREAKS BEHIND IT ALREADY WORKING INTO THE NRN TIER
AHEAD FO THINNER CI. TEMPS TODAY ARE JUMPING UP FASTER THAN
FCST...AND WITH THINKING OF THINNER CLOUDS AND LESS PRECIP DURING
THE DAYTIME...HAVE INCREASED MAX TEMPS A DEGREE OR TWO ACROSS MUCH
OF THE AREA. BELIEVE MOST FAVORED AREA FOR CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT
THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE WEST OF THE CWA IN NW/N CTRL IA...EVOLVING
INTO AN MCS THAT MOVES ACROSS THE BDRY INTO THE CWA IN THE LATER
AFTERNOON/EVENING HOURS. SHORTWAVE DIVING OUT OF THE DAKOTAS WILL
PROVIDE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT...AND INSTABILITY WILL BE RATHER HIGH
IF CLOUDS BREAK UP ENOUGH TO ALLOW AT LEAST INTERMITTENT SUN. SPC
MODERATE RISK REMAINS OVER THE CWA MAINLY FOR WIND THREAT THIS
EVENING ASSOCIATED WITH THE MCS...AS HIGH FREEZING LEVELS AND
FAIRLY MOIST ATMOSPHERE MAY KEEP HAIL IN CHECK. HEAVY RAIN REMAINS
A THREAT...AND WITH MANY PARTS OF THE CWA SEEING 2-5 INCHES OF
RAIN SO FAR THIS WEEK...WILL NEED TO MONITOR FLOODING THREAT
CLOSELY AS MCS EVOLVES.
