AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE QUAD CITIES IA IL
315 PM CDT THU JUN 12 2008

.DISCUSSION...
ONGOING RECORD BREAKING FLOODING EVENT WILL TRY AND MAKE THIS
CONCISE. WE ARE IN THE MIDST FOR MUCH IF NOT MOST OF THE FORECAST
AREA TO EXPERIENCE A FLOODING EVENT THAT WILL LIKELY SURPASS THE
INFAMOUS FLOOD OF 1993 OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS WITH WIDESPREAD
SEVERE IMPACTS.

TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY...NOWCAST TOOLS SUPPORT SUITE OF SOLUTIONS FOR SE
2/3 TO 3/4 AREA TO EXPERIENCE ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 3
INCHES WITH TROPICAL CONDITIONS AND PW/S OF NEAR 2 INCHES SUGGESTING
LOCALIZED 4 TO 5 INCH RAIN AMOUNTS POSSIBLE ON TOP OF THE RECORD
BREAKING FLOODING OCCURRING ON THE CEDAR AND IOWA RIVERS THAT ARE 3
TO 6+ FEET ABOVE 100 TO 150 RECORD CRESTS. THIS EQUATES TO ROUGHLY
500 PLUS YEAR RIVER FLOODING. THE WAPSIPINICON RIVER TO EXPERIENCE
NEAR RECORD TO RECORD FLOODING WITH LOCATIONS BETWEEN ANAMOSA AND
DEWITT APPROACHING 100 YEAR FLOODING.  THE LOWER HALF OR MORE OF THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER ALSO TO REACH NEAR RECORD TO RECORD FLOODING ALONG
AND SOUTH OF THE QUAD CITIES. UPPED POPS TO CATEGORICAL WITH SOME
SEVERE RISK THIS EVENING..MAINLY FOR DAMAGING WINDS OF 70 MPH AS
BOWING SEGMENTS TO EVOLVE EARLY TO MID PM WITH SOME HP SUPERCELLS AND
ISOLATED TORNADOES POSSIBLE INITIALLY FROM 3 PM UNTIL ROUGHLY 8 PM.
RAINFALL RATES OF 2 TO 3 INCHES AN HOUR WILL MAKE FOR SERIOUS FLASH
FLOODING RISK WHICH HAS BEEN ALREADY OCCURRING SINCE LAST NIGHT WITH
ALL THE AREA IN FLASH FLOOD WATCHES TONIGHT AND SE 2/3 LASTING INTO
FRIDAY MORNING. FRIDAY AFTERNOON...RAIN TO END SE 1/3 WITH LIGHT
ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS THERE WITH SOME PARTIAL CLEARING LATE PM NW 1/2.
HIGH TEMPERATURES WITH LOTS OF CLOUDS TO STAY IN THE MID/UPPER 70S.

FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY NIGHT...QUIET AND SEASONAL WITH HIGHS
UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S AND LOWS IN UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S.  SOME
ISOLATED SHRA TO TSRA MAY OCCUR ALONG HIGHWAY 20 LATE PM WITH WEAK
SURFACE CONVERGENCE AND CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES REACHED INTO THE
EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS.

SUNDAY...YESTERDAY/S CONCERN IS UNFORTUNATELY VERIFYING. ALL 12Z
SOLUTIONS POINTING TOWARD ANOTHER MODERATE TO HEAVY CONVECTIVE RAIN
EVENT IN FAST NW UPPER LEVEL FLOW WITH LOCAL TOOLS USING HIGH
MOISTURE AND FORCING LEVELS FOR THIS TYPE REGIME SUGGESTING AREAS OF
1 TO 3 PLUS INCHES THAT WOULD HAVE TREMENDOUS IMPACTS IF FALLS ON
EAST CENTRAL IOWA. THESE LOCATIONS AND TIMING WILL BE BETTER
CLARIFIED NEXT 24 HOURS AND ADDITIONAL IMPACTS ON OUR RECORD
FLOODING. UPPED POPS TO MODERATE TO HIGH CHANCE WITH ONLY MODERATE
AMOUNTS OF RAIN ATTM.

MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...SEASONALLY STRONG CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE
TO KEEP REST OF PERIOD COOL AND DRY (OR AT LEAST SOME DRYING OF
OUR WET CONDITIONS).  HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE 70S WITH LOWS IN
LOWER TO MIDDLE 50S.  SOME POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT RAIN
EVENT LATE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY..HAVE LEFT THURSDAY DRY ATTM UNTIL
TIMING OF THIS NEXT EVENT HAS GREATER CONFIDENCE.  ..NICHOLS..

&&

.AVIATION...
VERY ACTIVE PERIOD THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS AS A COLD FRONT
SLOWLY MOVES THROUGH THE AREA.  MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED
OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS.  WITHIN THUNDERSTORMS CIGS CAN DROP INTO
THE MVFR CATEGORY...AND VISIBILITIES TO IFR IN HEAVY RAIN.  STORMS
HAVE BEEN REGENERATING SINCE 18Z...AND SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH MID
