Severe Thunderstorm Warning 79, NWS Quad Cities, IA

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE QUAD CITIES IA IL
252 AM CDT FRI JUN 18 2010

.DISCUSSION...TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY...
...SEVERE WEATHER AND HEAVY RAINFALL APPEAR POSSIBLE THIS
AFTERNOON...AND THIS EVENING...
HOWEVER...THE EXACT DETAILS OF ANY POTENTIAL EVENT ARE NOT TOTALLY
CERTAIN AS IT WILL BE STRONGLY INFLUENCED BY MESOSCALE FEATURES LEFT
FROM THIS MORNINGS MCS.  SYNOPTICALLY...A SEVERE WEATHER EVENT SEEMS
IN THE OFFING AS LONG AS WE BUILD SUFFICIENT CAPE AND CAN KEEP WINDS
BACKED AHEAD OF THE FRONT.  IN ALL LIKELIHOOD THE CURRENT MCS SHOULD
ASSIST IN KEEPING WINDS BACKED...BUT IT POTENTIALLY COULD ROB CAPE
VALUES KEEPING THE POTENTIAL EVENT INTO A MUCH LOWER MAGNITUDE.

THAT ALL SAID...THE CURRENT MCS SEEMS TO HAVE HIT A WALL OVER THE
IOWA AND MISSOURI BORDER.  LOOKING AT THE CURRENT EVOLUTION...IT
APPEARS THAT THE MCS SHOULD PROPAGATE INTO NORTHEAST MISSOURI AND
WEST CENTRAL ILLINOIS THIS MORNING BEFORE DISSIPATING.  ANOTHER AREA
OF DEVELOPING STORMS IS FOUND IN CENTRAL NEBRASKA....WHERE THE LLJ
IS INTERSECTING THE 850MB BOUNDARY.  THIS MAY LIGHT UP FURTHER
BEFORE DAWN...AND COULD BE ANOTHER CAPE ROBBING MECHANISM. DESPITE
THE TWO AREAS OF CAPE KILLING CONCERN...IT DOES APPEAR THAT AT LEAST
SEVERAL HOURS OF PREFRONTAL HEATING WILL OCCUR. THUS...THE LATE
AFTERNOON THROUGH MID EVENING COLD FROPA WITH GOOD DYNAMICS CARRIES
A LIKELY CHANCE OF STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION.
INITIALLY...SUPERCELLS SHOULD FORM ALONG THE FRONT...ALONG AND NORTH
OF THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY.  THIS WILL CARRY A TORNADO THREAT...AS WELL
AS WIND AND HAIL. BY EARLY EVENING...A LINEAR STORM MODE IS
FAVORED...WITH WIND BEING THE MAIN THREAT UNTIL THE LINE EXITS THE
EASTERN CWA LATE IN THE EVENING. AFTER MIDNIGHT...SOME SCATTERED
STORMS MAY FIRE ABOVE THE COLD POOL...BUT THIS THREAT APPEARS LOW AT
THIS TIME.

THE FORECAST IS DOMINATED BY A HIGH POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY
RAINFALL...FLASH AND RIVER FLOODING...AND SEVERE RISK THROUGHOUT.
THIS IS A VERY SIMILAR SCENARIO PAINTED BY PREVIOUS AFD ISSUANCES.
DUE TO THE CURRENT MCS...WE WILL LEAVE THE FORECAST AS IS...WHICH IS
EXTREMELY WET AND STORMY.   THIS PERIOD WILL BE ADDRESSED STRONGLY
IN THE HWO PRODUCT.

SINCE THE DEVELOPMENT OF STORMS IS EXPECTED TO BE PROGRESSIVE
TONIGHT...AND SINCE OVERNIGHT QPF DID NOT APPEAR TOO
HIGH...GENERALLY AROUND 0.5 INCH...A FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS NOT BEEN
ISSUED.  THAT SAID...TODAY AND TONIGHTS STORMS COULD POSE A RAPID
RUN OFF FLASH FLOOD THREAT THAT COULD OVER WHELM STORM DRAINS IN ANY
URBAN LOCATION...AND THAT WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED CLOSELY.
...ERVIN...

.AVIATION...
CURRENT MCS OVER THE AREA IS SLOWLY DECAYING. BOUNDARIES FROM MCS
WILL LIKELY CAUSE CONVECTION TO PERSIST THROUGH 14-15Z BEFORE
ENDING. VSBYS 3-5SM WITH VCTS POSSIBLE WITH CIGS 2-3KFT AT WORST.
NEW CONVECTION TO FIRE ALONG/AHEAD THE COLD FRONT AFT 18Z. ALL TAF
SITES WILL BE AFFECTED WITH THE MOST LIKELY TIME PERIOD BEING 22Z/18
THROUGH 05Z/19. DURING THIS TIME PERIOD EXPECT VCTS WITH TSRA
LIKELY. VSBYS OF 3-5SM WITH ARND 1SM IN HEAVIER TSRA. CIGS JUST ABV
3KFT BUT 1-2KFT CIGS LIKELY IN TSRA. VFR CONDITIONS AFT 06Z/19.

.HYDROLOGY...
ANOTHER HEAVY RAIN EVENT WILL IMPACT THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT WITH ANOTHER HEAVY RAIN EVENT SUNDAY.  SEVERAL MORE APPEAR
POSSIBLE BEYOND.

THE EXACT IMPACT TO AREA WATERWAYS IS NOT FULLY KNOWN BUT MODERATE
TO SIGNIFICANT ADDITIONAL RISES WILL OCCUR. FLOODING ON SMALLER
TRIBUTARY RIVERS IS LIKELY. EMERGENCY MANAGERS AND ANYONE LIVING
NEAR OR WITH INTERESTS ALONG AREA RIVERS AND STREAMS SHOULD PAY
ATTENTION TO BOTH WEATHER AND RIVER FORECASTS OVER THE NEXT 7
DAYS.    ...ERVIN...
