What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this tornado warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Quad Cities, IA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at Jun 5, 2:59 PM CDT, 4 hours 30 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 5, 2:59 PM CDT, 4 hours 30 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE QUAD CITIES IA IL
259 PM CDT SAT JUN 5 2010

.DISCUSSION...
SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND SUNDAY...CONVECTIVE/CLOUD DEBRIS HANGING ON
INTO THE AFTERNOON ACRS THE LOCAL CWA MAKING MODERATE RISK SOMEWHAT
QUESTIONABLE. SCTRD ELEVATED SHOWERS ACRS THE CENTRAL CWA ATTM ALSO
ADDING TO THE UNCERTAINTY. BUT NICE CLEARING AND HEATING HOLE TO
THE LEE OF NORTH CENTRAL TO SOUTHWESTERN IA WAVE COMPLEX...COMBINED
WITH INCREASING PRESSURE FALLS OVER SOUTH CENTRAL IA A FOCAL POINT TO
WATCH FOR SUPER-CELLULAR DEVELOPMENT AFTER 21Z. CAPES QUICKLY GROWING
TO OVER 3K J/KG IN THIS REGION. THIS ACTIVITY SPAWNING IN THIS AREA
OF 60+ KT 0-6KM BULK SHEAR WOULD PROPAGATE IN A SVR MODE/LARGE
HAIL...LOCALIZED DOWNBURST WINDS AND A FEW TORNADOES/ACRS THE DVN/S
MODERATE RISK AREA ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE I80 CORRIDOR THROUGH 02Z.
THE OTHER AREA TO WATCH IS SOUTHERN EDGE OF ELEVATED PRECIP COMPLEX
ALONG AND NORTH OF THE IA/MN BORDER...AND MORE LIKELY SECONDARY
CONVECTION BAND TAKING OFF IN TRIPLE-POINT TYPE SCENARIO CURRENTLY IN
NORTHWEST IA. IF THIS ACTIVITY CONTINUES TO DEVELOP/AND IT WILL/...IT
WOULD TAKE AIM AT THE NORTH HALF OF THE DVN CWA. THUS WILL CONTINUE
TO PAINT THE ENTIRE CWA AT RISK OF SVR. WIDESPREAD PW IN-FEED AND
AIRMASS ALREADY IN PLACE OF 1.8+ PLUS CONTINUES TO PROMOTE VERY HEAVY
RAINFALL RATES OF ORGANIZED CONVECTION OF 2+ INCHES AN HOUR. THE
SOUTHERN THIRD OF THE DVN CWA CAN/T TAKE ANYMORE AND WILL BE QUICK TO
FLASH FLOOD WARN THIS EVENING IF CONVECTION LINES UP TO IMPACT THEM.
OTHER AREAS ALSO SUSCEPTIBLE TO FLASH FLOODING BUT NOT AS WIDESPREAD
GROUND SATURATION. FLASH FLOOD WATCH EXPANDED FOR THE ENTIRE CWA AND
UNTIL 03Z THIS EVENING STILL IN PLAY. NEW RAPID REFRESH SUGGESTS THE
TWO UPSTREAM CONVECTIVE AREAS CONGEALING ACRS THE WESTERN CWA AFTER
23Z INTO MORE OF SUPER-CELLULAR TRANSITION INTO MULTI-CELLULAR MODE
WITH EMBEDDED SVR AND VERY HEAVY RAIN. THIS COMPLEX WOULD THEN FEED
EAST-SOUTHEAST ACRS THE SOUTHEAST HALF TO THIRD OF THE DVN CWA
THROUGH 04Z THIS EVENING AND EXIT...PRODUCING A SVR THREAT MODE MORE
IN THE LINE OF DAMAGING WINDS AS IT DOES. WILL GO LIKELY POPS WITH
HEAVY RAIN AND SVR WORDING ALMOST THE ENTIRE CWA FOR 00Z-04Z...BUT
THEN CUT BACK POPS TO ALMOST NIL AFTER 06Z WITH SHOWERS AND STORMS
EXPECTED TO BE CLEAR OF THE CWA BY THEN.

SUNDAY...NORTHWEST FLOW DISTURBANCE SHOULD COMBINE WITH VERTICAL
UNSTABLE PROFILES/COOL AIR ALOFT TO PRODUCE SCTRD SHOWERS AND
POSSIBLY A STORM ACRS THE NORTHEAST THIRD OF THE CWA MIDDAY AND INTO
THE AFTERNOON. EXPECT WIDESPREAD HIGHS FROM 75 TO 80 EVEN WITH
PARTIAL INSOLATION.    ..12..

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY...
.SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...A QUASI ZONAL FLOW WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD WITH A BROAD
FAIRLY FLAT UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDING OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST ON
MONDAY. THE ECMWF HAS BEEN PERSISTENT IN DEVELOPING ANOTHER
SIGNIFICANT RAIN EVENT ACROSS THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH
TUESDAY NIGHT AS IT ADVECTS THE NEXT 500 MB SHORT WAVE AND VORT MAX
ACROSS THE REGION. THE 12Z NAM80 ALSO SHOWS THIS FEATURE. ADDITIONAL
HEAVY RAIN MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY COULD BRING THE THREAT OF
FLASH FLOODING AND POSSIBLE RIVER FLOODING TO THE REGION ONCE AGAIN.
THURSDAY CURRENTLY LOOKS TO BE MAINLY DRY AS HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE
NORTHERN GREAT LAKES MAKES FOR A FAIR WEATHER DAY.

.FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK THE ECMWF/NAM DIG A
STRONG UPPER LEVEL CLOSED LOW TO NEAR NEVADA AND BUILD A LARGE UPPER
LEVEL RIDGE/HEAT DOME ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE UNITED STATES.
THIS PATTERN CHANGE PLACES THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY INTO A SOUTHWEST
FLOW ALOFT AND AT THE SURFACE...WHICH WILL ADVECT VERY WARM AND
HUMID AIR FROM THE GULF COAST INTO THE REGION AND INCREASE OUR
CHANCES AGAIN FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.     ..KUHL..

&&

.AVIATION...
MVFR TO VFR LEVEL CU AND AC SCENARIO SHOULD DEGRADE TO INCOMING
STRONG TO SVR CONVECTION AT AL THE TERMINALS FROM 22Z ON THROUGH
02Z. THE BRL AND POSSIBLY THE MLI TERMINALS ARE MOST AT RISK OF LARGE
HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS FROM EITHER STRONG STORMS DEVELOPING UPSTREAM
OR IN THE VCNTY. SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL BECOME VARIABLE FROM 00Z
THROUGH 03Z...BEFORE TRANSITION TO A NORTHERLY FETCH AFTER THE
CONVECTION EXITS AFTER 03Z-05Z THIS EVENING. EXPECT CIGS TO RAISE
TO VFR AFTER 04Z AS WELL. UNTIL THEN...A TURBULENT AVIATION
WINDOW IN LINE FOR ALL THE TERMINALS THIS EVENING.    ..12..

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF NORTH CENTRAL

CENTRAL IOWA...NORTHEAST IOWA...SOUTHEAST IOWA AND NORTHEAST
MISSOURI.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS PLACED A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80 THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...WITH A SLIGHT RISK TO THE NORTH.

PARAMETERS ARE COMING TOGETHER FOR SEVERE WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON
WITH POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE HAIL...AND A FEW POSSIBLE
TORNADOES. IN ADDITION...HEAVY RAINFALL OF AT LEAST SEVERAL INCHES
IS EXPECTED WHERE STORMS MOVE OVER THE SAME AREA. THIS MAY CAUSE
FLASH FLOODING AND MAY CAUSE RIVER FLOODING IN SOME AREAS.

A WARM FRONT LIFTING NORTHWARD ACROSS THE REGION WILL TRIGGER
WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORMS TODAY. LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE OUT OF
COLORADO AND INTO THE REGION SENDING A COLD FRONT SWEEPING ACROSS
THE OUTLOOK AREA BY TONIGHT. A STRONG UPPER AIR DISTURBANCE AND
STRENGTHENING WINDS ALOFT WILL PROVIDE MODERATE TO STRONG DEEP
LAYER SHEAR...RESULTING IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUPERCELLS THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY
NIGHT WITH ANOTHER MAJOR RAIN EVENT LIKELY. MORE THUNDERSTORMS ARE
ALSO POSSIBLE NEXT FRIDAY. IT IS TOO EARLY TO DETERMINE THE SEVERE
POTENTIAL.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL LIKELY BE REQUIRED THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING.
