AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE QUAD CITIES IA IL
330 PM CDT TUE MAY 24 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
NEARLY STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY STRETCHED ROUGHLY ALONG
INTERSTATE 80 HAS DEVELOPED LOW TOPPED THUNDERSTORMS WITH BRIEF
ROTATION AND A FUNNEL AND NICKEL HAIL NEAR ERIE IN WHITESIDE COUNTY.
WILL MONITOR FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE BOUNDARY. WIND FIELDS
ARE RATHER WEAK AND STORMS WERE MOVING SLOWLY. OTHERWISE AN MCS THAT
STARTED IN NORTHERN KS EARLIER ON THIS SHIFT CONTINUES TO PUSH
NORTHEAST AT 30 MPH INTO CENTRAL IA AND NORTHERN MO PRODUCING 40 TO
50 MPH WINDS. THE SEVERE STORMS WITH THIS MCS ARE OCCURRING WELL TO
OUR SOUTH IN CENTRAL MO...AND THAT PORTION OF THE MCS WAS MOVING
EAST. CURRENT TEMPERATURES RANGED FROM THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S.
..HAASE..

&&

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...
FORECAST FOCUS ON RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE
WEATHER AND HEAVY RAINFALL. CURRENT MCS IN CENTRAL IA SHOULD
CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AS IT OUTRUNS THE LOW LEVEL JET.

STRONG STORM SYSTEM ORGANIZING IN THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL TRACK
INTO WESTERN MO BY LATE WEDNESDAY. WIDESPREAD RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS
WITH HEAVY RAINFALL EXPECTED LATER TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY AS LOW
LEVEL JET FEEDS COPIOUS MOISTURE ACROSS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT WILL
BE LOCATED JUST SOUTH OF I-80. POTENTIAL FOR SEVERAL ROUNDS OF
THUNDERSTORMS WITH WIDESPREAD 3/4  TO 1.50 INCH RAIN AMOUNTS. ANY
TRAINING OF STORMS MAY PRODUCE SEVERAL INCHES OF RAIN. THE LOWEST
FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE VALUES ARE LOCATED FROM I-80 TO HIGHWAY 30 AND
ALSO SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 34. THESE AREAS WOULD BE VULNERABLE TO FLASH
FLOODING AND WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED. FOR NOW WILL NOT ISSUE A
FLASH FLOOD WATCH AS NEED TO SATURATE THE GROUND INITIALLY...BUT
LATER SHIFTS WILL HAVE TO MONITOR. MOST OF THE DVN CWA IS IN A
SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE MAIN THREAT LARGE HAIL
AND DAMAGING WINDS AS WIND FIELDS STRENGTHEN. FOR NOW THE TORNADO
THREAT APPEARS TO REMAIN SOUTH OF THE DVN CWA ON WEDNESDAY CLOSER TO
THE MODERATE RISK. BUT ANY NORTHWARD SHIFT IN THE STORM SYSTEM WOULD
BRING THE TORNADO THREAT CLOSER TO OUR FAR SOUTHERN CWA. WILL HAVE
AT LEAST 80 PERCENT POPS OVERNIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.

MIN TEMPERATURES TONIGHT RANGING FROM AROUND 50 IN NW IL TO THE MID
60S SOUTH. MAX TEMPS ON WEDNESDAY RANGING FROM THE LOWER 60S ALONG
HIGHWAY 20 TO AROUND 80 SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 34 (WEST OF GALESBURG).

..HAASE..

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY...
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY...LATEST 12Z RUN MODELS IN REASONABLE
AGREEMENT OF HANDLING NEARLY STACKED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AS IT
ROLLS ACRS NORTH CENTRAL MO WED NIGHT GENERALLY FROM NEAR KANSAS
CITY AROUND 00Z THU...TO JUST NORTH OF THE STL AREA BY THU MORNING.
THERE IS SOME DIFFERENCES IN ELEVATED CONVERGENT THTA-E BANDS/FORCING
AND RESULTANT HEAVIER RAIN THREAT IN A AIRMASS OF PW/S OF 1.3 INCHES
PLUS. THE 12Z NAM AND ECMWF SEEM CONCEPTUALLY ON TARGET WITH HEAVY
RAIN BAND OF 1-2 INCHES BY THU MORNING ACRS THE SOUTHERN THIRD OF
THE DVN CWA UNDER NORTH FLANK OF THE LOW PRESSURE COMPLEX...WHILE
THE GFS HAS A SECONDARY HEAVY RAIN AXIS FURTHER TO THE NORTH ALONG
AND NORTH OF THE I80 CORRIDOR. FOR NOW WILL SIDE WITH THE NAM AND
ECMWF AND MENTION HEAVY RAIN THREAT SOUTH OF I80. THERMAL PROFILES
AND FORCING SUGGEST SOME SLIGHTLY ELEVATED SEVERE STORM CONCERNS
IN THE SOUTHEAST THIRD OF THE DVN CWA FROM 22Z WED AFTERNOON THROUGH
ABOUT 04Z THU...MAINLY A LARGE HAIL THREAT WITH A SECONDARY DOWNBURST
WIND POTENTIAL/IN THE FAR SOUTHERN CWA IN SHALLOWER SFC LAMINAR
LAYER/. DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH RAIN OCCURS LATE TONIGHT AND ON WED...
THE SOUTHERN THIRD OR SO OF THE LOCAL FCST AREA MAY NEED A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH ISSUED IF ANOTHER ROUND OF HEAVY RAIN LOOKS TO BE ON TAP
WED NIGHT FOR THOSE SAME AREAS. ALMOST A COOL SEASON DEF ZONE RAIN
EVENT STILL LOOKS TO BE ON TAP FOR THURSDAY AS THE MID AND UPPER
LEVEL LOW ROLLS ACRS CENTRAL IL. SOME AREAS IN THE SOUTHEAST HALF OF
THE CWA COULD RECEIVE ANOTHER .3 TO .5 OF AN INCH OF ADDITIONAL
RAINFALL FROM 12Z THU THROUGH EARLY THU AFTERNOON BEFORE THE SYSTEM
AND IT/S PRECIP SHIELD STARTS TO PULL OFF TO THE EAST. BRISK
NORTHEAST BOUNDARY LAYER FETCH...PRECIP AND CLOUD COVER TO MAKE FOR
A UNSEASONABLY COOL LATE MAY DAY THU WITH HIGHS HAVING TROUBLE
GETTING OUT OF THE 50S IN SOME LOCATIONS. WILL BANK ON SOME
AFTERNOON BREAKS IN PRECIP AND AT LEAST PARTIAL BREAKS IN CLOUD
COVER FOR THE WEST TO WARM UP INTO THE LOWER 60S. ANY CLEARING AND
SFC WIND DECOUPLE THU NIGHT AS A LOBE OF SFC RIDGING TRIES TO PASS
ACRS THE AREA MAY FOSTER AREAS OF FOG. WILL GO WIDESPREAD LOWS IN
THE 40S...WITH SOME AREAS IN THE NORTHERN COOL AIR DRAINAGE LOCATIONS
POSSIBLY DIPPING INTO THE LOWER 40S AGAIN IF SKIES CLEAR OUT AND SFC
WINDS DECOUPLE.

FRIDAY...LATEST MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE ESTABLISH WESTERLIES/ZONAL
FLOW PATTERN ACRS THE WEST HALF OF THE CONUS...WITH A NORTHERN
PLAINS OR SOUTH-CENTRAL CANADIAN UPPER LOW WHIRLING A TROF ACRS THE
REGION LATE FRI AND FRI NIGHT. THE MODELS DIVERGE IN THE
PROGRESSIVENESS OF THIS FEATURE AS WELL AS STORM CHANCES WITH THE
12Z RUN GFS THE MOST BULLISH ON SHOWERS AND STORMS SPREAD ACRS THE
AREA FROM THE WEST FRI AFTERNOON AND INTENSIFYING THROUGH THE
EVENING PERIOD. THE ECMWF AND TO SOME EXTENT THE NAM KEEP THE BULK
OF FRIDAY DRY AND SPLIT OFF THE CONVECTION TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH OF
THE LOCAL FCST AREA DURING FRI EVENING. WILL KEEP AT LEAST CHC POPS
GOING FRI EVENING WITH UPPER TROF SHEARING ACRS OVERHEAD...DO LIKE
THE ECMWF AND NAM OF A DRY FRI THROUGH 23Z-00Z AT LEAST. FRI HIGHS
MODIFY INTO THE MID AND UPPER 60S...WITH AN ABOVE GUIDANCE 70+ DEGREE
READING POSSIBLE IF PRECIP HOLDS OFF AND MORE INSOLATION OCCURS.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...ENSEMBLES AND LATEST MEDIUM RANGE MODEL RUNS
CONTINUE TO INDICATE A SYNOPTIC SCALE PATTERN CHANGE WITH L/W
TROFFINESS GETTING ESTABLISHED ACRS THE WESTERN INTER-MOUNTAIN
REGION AND UPPER RIDGING BULGING OVER THE MID AND EASTERN CONUS. THE
TRANSITION PROCESS AND THE WINDOW THAT THE MAIN SFC WARM FRONT
RETREATS NORTH THROUGH THE AREA STILL THE TRICK FOR DEFINING A
CONVECTIVE CHANCE THIS WEEKEND. THE 12Z RUN CANADIAN GEM AND ECMWF
SUGGEST THIS FRONTAL PUSH NORTHWARD AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCE FOR
AT LEAST PART OF THE AREA WILL OCCUR LATER SAT AFTERNOON AND SAT
NIGHT...WHILE THE 12Z GFS PAINTS SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT AS A
POTENTIAL MCS WINDOW AS THE WARM FRONT RETREATS NORTH IN RESPONSE TO
THE AMPLIFYING FLOW PATTERN. WILL HAVE TO KEEP LOW TO MODERATE CHC
POPS FOR NOW FOR BOTH SAT AND SUNDAY WITH THE UNCERTAINTIES...BUT
WOULD FAVOR THE ECMWF AND GEM SOLUTIONS IF PRESSED. STILL HAVE SOME
TIME FOR THE MODELS TO CONVERGE OR TREND ONE WAY. IF THE FAVORED
CANADIAN GEM AND ECMWF HAVE THEIR WAY...THE CWA WOULD BE ENGULFED BY
WARM DOME/UPPER RIDGE ON SUNDAY AS THE MAIN STORMS TRACK LAYS OUT
IN SOUTH-WESTERLIES ACRS THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PLAINS...TO THE
NORTHERN GRT LKS. THERMAL PROFILES SUGGEST HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S
TO LOWER 90S ON SUNDAY WHILE THE SEMI-RING OF FIRE TRIES TO ESTABLISH
ON PERIPHERY OF THE UPPER RIDGE...WEST AND NORTH OF THE DVN CWA.

MEMORIAL DAY MONDAY AND TUESDAY...AT LEAST THE GFS HAS TRENDED TO
THE ECMWF IN SUGGESTING A RATHER HOT AND DRY HOLIDAY MONDAY. HIGHS
COULD ZOOM INTO THE LOW TO MID 90S MONDAY WITH DECENT MIXING IN SOUTH
TO SOUTHWEST SFC WINDS GUSTING OVER 20 KTS. LATEST LONG RANGE SIGNALS
SUGGEST THE AMBIENT WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS TO LAST INTO TUESDAY
BEFORE A WEAK BOUNDARY OFF PASSING NORTHWESTERN GRT LKS WAVE TRIES TO
SAG TOWARD THE CWA FROM THE WEST LATE IN THE DAY OR TUE NIGHT. FRONT
MAY WASH OUT OR BE TOO WEAK TO BUMP THROUGH WARM WEDGE CAP HOWEVER.
STILL MANY DETAILS TO BE WORKED OUT THAT FAR OUT IN THE FCST PROCESS.
