AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE QUAD CITIES IA IL
1102 AM CDT WED MAY 11 2011

.UPDATE...
GAPS BETWEEN MID AND UPPER LEVEL CLOUD COVER HAVE ALLOWED SOME
HAZY SUNSHINE THIS MORNING AND TEMPERATURES AS OF 10 AM WERE
ALREADY APPROACHING POSTED HIGHS AT A FEW SITES. THUS...HAVE
UPDATED FORECASTS TO RAISE TEMPERATURES INTO THE MID AND UPPER
80S...WHICH WOULD BE A FEW DEGREES SHY OF THE MAY 11 RECORDS
CLUSTERED AROUND 90 DEGREES.

COMPLEX OF BACKBUILDING THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BECOME ANCHORED OVER S
CENTRAL AND CENTRAL IA THIS MORNING. THIS IS ON THE NOSE OF 850 MB
MOISTURE CONVERGENCE. THE STRATIFORM REGION TO THE EAST IS TRYING
TO REACH INTO THE FAR WESTERN FORECAST AREA...BUT SHOULD AMOUNT TO
ONLY LIGHT RAIN FROM FFL TO CID TOWARD NOON AT THIS RATE. HAVE
UPDATED THE FORECAST TO FOCUS THE MORNING THUNDERSTORM CHANCES TO
THE WEST AND SOUTH.

OF GREATER CONCERN IS A SMALL CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER N
CENTRAL MO...OCCURRING ON THE NOSE OF A WEAK MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE
AND PRONOUNCED DRY SLOT ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY. THIS APPEARS TO BE
LIFTING NORTHEAST...AND MAY BE THE PRIMARY FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORMS
IN THE DVN FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES ALREADY IN
THE 80S...DEWPOINTS IN THE 60S AND VERY HIGH CAPES...AS SEEN IN
THE 12Z DVN SOUNDING WITH VALUES APPROACHING 5000 J/KG...MAY
RESULT IN SOME OF THESE STORMS BECOMING SEVERE WITH HAIL AND
DAMAGING WIND THE PRIMARY THREAT THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...
COUNTERING THE HIGH INSTABILITY...SHEAR VALUES ARE VERY
UNIMPRESSIVE WITH NO MODERATE OR STRONG MID OR UPPER JET EXPECTED
TO BRING MUCH CHANGE. SO...THE CONVECTIVE MODE LOOKS TO FAVOR SLOW
MOVING MULTICELL CLUSTERS WITH PULSE TYPE HAIL SUPPORTING UPDRAFTS
AND PERHAPS A FEW DOWNDRAFTS PRODUCING MARGINALLY SEVERE WIND
GUSTS. AT 12Z...SPC UPGRADED THE ENTIRE AREA TO SLIGHT RISK.

&&

.AVIATION...
CHANCES FOR RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING ACROSS THE TERMINALS. VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL
TODAY WITH THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLY BRUSHING THE CID TERMINAL
BEFORE NOON...THEN THE POTENTIAL INCREASES AT ALL SITES THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON. ANY THUNDERSTORMS WOULD LIKELY PRODUCE MVFR
CONDITIONS WITH BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL...AND POSSIBLY SMALL HAIL.
AFTER A BREAK IN THE EVENING...ANOTHER ROUND OF SHRA AND TSRA TO MOVE IN
AFTER 05Z WITH 2-3SM VSBYS AND CIGS 15-20KFT.
