Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.
Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.
The nearest sounding before it
Davenport, (KDVN), launched 00:00Z, 0.5 hours before the alert went out and 70 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE QUAD CITIES IA IL
645 PM CDT TUE MAY 28 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 245 PM CDT TUE MAY 28 2013
CONVECTION DEVELOPING ALONG WELL DEFINED BOUNDARY ON VISIBLE SATL
FROM NEAR KCID-KCNC LINE AS SHORTWAVE/MCV APPROACHES FROM KS.
SFC BOUNDARY POSITIONED VICINITY OF NORTHEAST IA AND SOUTH OF THE
FRONT IT IS VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE... WITH TEMPS AROUND 80F/L80S
AND DEWPTS NEAR 70F.
&&
.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 245 PM CDT TUE MAY 28 2013
SCATTERED TO WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND STORMS FOR LATE THIS AFTN
THROUGH EVE ESPECIALLY OVER THE SOUTHEAST 1/2-2/3 OF CWA WITH
PASSAGE OF SHORTWAVE/MCV. MODERATE TO HIGH INSTABILITY AND
SUFFICIENT 0-6KM SHEAR SUPPORTS RISK OF SEVERE WITH DAMAGING
WINDS AND LARGE HAIL MAIN THREATS...THOUGH A TORNADO CANNOT BE
RULED OUT ESPECIALLY WITH ANY BOUNDARY OR STORM SCALE INTERACTION.
OVERNIGHT PCPN COVERAGE LIKELY TO WANE WITH EXITING SHORTWAVE
AND BRIEF MID LEVEL RIDGING... BUT STILL CHC WITH ELEVATED
WARM...MOIST ADVECTION WITH LOW LEVEL JET ESPECIALLY FUTHER WEST
INTO CENTRAL/WESTERN IA AS IT LOOKS ATTIM. VERY HIGH MOISTURE
CONTENT AND SATURATED GROUND COUPLED WITH POTENTIAL FOR TRAINING
SUPPORTIVE OF FLASH FLOOD RISK POSSIBLY ENHANCED AND HAVE EXTENDED
THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH UNTIL 12Z WED.
ON WED...CHCS FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS ESPECIALLY NORTH/WEST
SECTIONS WITH JET AND SUGGESTION OF FRONTAL ZONE IN VICINITY. 12Z
ECMWF VERY AGGRESSIVE WITH QPF UP TO AN INCH OVER PORTIONS OF
EASTERN IA... BUT APPEARS TO BE CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK AS IT ENHANCES
VORTICITY MAXIMUM FROM CONVECTION OVER SOUTHERN PLAINS.
AS FOR TEMPS... LOWS MAINLY IN THE 60S AND HIGHS WED 78F-85F.
POSSIBLY COOLER NORTH IF MORE CONVECTION AND BOUNDARY NEARBY.
.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 245 PM CDT TUE MAY 28 2013
THE ACTIVE WX PATTERN THAT THE AREA IS CURRENTLY IN WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH AT LEAST THE END OF THE WEEK. SATELLITE HAS NUMEROUS SYSTEMS
FROM THE WEST COAST BACK TO THE INTERNATIONAL DATE LINE THAT COULD
PASS OVER OR NEAR THE AREA.
MESOSCALE AND OTHER NONLINEAR PROCESSES ARE DRIVING THE SENSIBLE WX.
AS SUCH WHERE ORGANIZED CONVECTION OCCURS ONE DAY STRONGLY
INFLUENCES DEVELOPMENT THE FOLLOWING DAY. THERE WILL BE PERIODS OF
DRY WX OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS.
THE KEY TO WED EVENING IS WHERE DOES THE DIURNAL CONVECTION DEVELOP
WED AFTERNOON. THE BETTER LLJ IS WEST OF THE CWFA SO THE MORE
ORGANIZED CONVECTION SHOULD BE LOCATED THERE. HOWEVER...MCS/LIFT
TOOLS SUGGEST SOME DIURNAL CONVECTION OVER THE AREA. BY SUNRISE
THURSDAY THE LLJ HAS VEERED SLIGHTLY TOWARD THE AREA SO SOME TYPE OF
ORGANIZED CONVECTION SHOULD BE CLOSE TO THE AREA.
ON THURSDAY THE MCS AND LIFT TOOLS INDICATE ONE OR MORE LINEAR MCS
EVENTS SHOULD MOVE ACROSS THE AREA. BOUNDARIES LEFT OVER FROM THE
MORNING CONVECTION WILL DICTATE WHERE CONVECTION DEVELOPS THURS
AFTERNOON. GIVEN THE PROJECTED PWATS HEAVY RAIN IS A CONCERN WITH
THE MCS EVENTS...ESPECIALLY IF STORMS MOVE OVER THE SAME AREAS.
THE AFTERNOON MCS SHOULD CLEAR THE CWFA THURSDAY EVENING RESULTING
IN MORE SCATTERED CONVECTION LATE THURSDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER...THE MCS
AND LIFT TOOLS INDICATE ANOTHER MCS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA ON
FRIDAY PRODUCING MORE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. BOUNDARIES LEFT OVER
FROM THIS CONVECTION WILL THEN DRIVE ANY NEW CONVECTION FRIDAY
AFTERNOON.
PRELIMINARY DATA SUGGESTS RAINFALL TOTALS FROM WED NIGHT THROUGH
FRIDAY NIGHT COULD BE AN ADDITIONAL 2 TO 3 INCHES. GIVEN THE
MOISTURE RICH ATMOSPHERE...THESE AMOUNTS COULD BE LOW OR HIGH
DEPENDING UPON HOW THE ORGANIZED CONVECTION EVOLVES EACH DAY.
FRIDAY NIGHT ON...
MODEL CONSENSUS HAS CHC/LIKELY POPS FRI NIGHT AS THE MOST RECENT MCS
EXITS THE AREA. ONCE THIS MCS EXITS THE AREA THE HEAVY RAIN THREAT
SHOULD DIMINISH CONSIDERABLY.
THE MODEL CONSENSUS HAS MAINLY CHC POPS ON SATURDAY. THE HIGHER
PWATS WILL BE EAST OF THE AREA SO RAINFALL AMOUNTS SHOULD BE
LIGHTER. FOR SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY THE MODEL CONSENSUS HAS SCHC/CHC
POPS FOR THE UPPER LOW ROTATING ACROSS THE AREA.
THE CURRENT MODEL CONSENSUS HAS DRY CONDITIONS SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH
TUESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. THE DRY CONDITIONS
SUNDAY NIGHT SEEM REASONABLE. HOWEVER...ALL MODELS SHOW RETURN FLOW
DEVELOPING FROM MONDAY ON WHICH COULD PRODUCE RAIN IF SUFFICIENT
MOISTURE/INSTABILITY IS PRESENT.
&&
.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 637 PM CDT TUE MAY 28 2013
A NEARLY STALLED BOUNDARY IS INTERACTING WITH UPPER DISTURBANCES
AND WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE AREAS OF THUNDERSTORMS AND SHOWERS
THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS. SKIES WILL TEND TO BE PARTLY TO MOSTLY
CLOUDY WITH CEILINGS MAINLY 3-5+K AGL. CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES
WILL BE MVFR TO IFR AT TIMES IN THE SHOWERS AND STORMS. MOST
TERMINALS WILL BE AT THE HIGHEST RISK OF STORMS THROUGH 08Z.
THEN...ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS MAY REDEVELOP AFTER NOON TOMORROW.
WINDS WILL TEND TO BE OUT OF THE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST AT 5 TO 10 KTS
EXCEPT MUCH HIGHER TO 40 KTS OR MORE IN THE STRONGER STORMS.

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 245 PM CDT TUE MAY 28 2013
HEAVY RAINFALL AMOUNTS IN THE RANGE OF 2 TO 6 INCHES FELL OVER THE
MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND MAINLY SOUTHWEST OF DUBUQUE TO STERLING ROCK
FALLS LINE. THIS HAS LED TO SIGNIFICANT RISES AND FLOODING ON
TRIBUTARY RIVERS IN EASTERN IOWA AND WEST CENTRAL ILLINOIS.
FLOODING IS ALSO OCCURRING ON THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER SOUTH OF
MUSCATINE. HIGH LEVELS OF MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE THREAT OF VERY
HEAVY RAINFALL WITH THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.
ANY HEAVY RAIN MAY LEAD TO FLASH FLOODING DUE TO THE SATURATED
GROUND.
THE THREAT OF HEAVY RAIN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH END OF THE WEEK AS
LITTLE CHANGE IS EXPECTED WITH THE OVERALL WEATHER PATTERN. AT THIS
TIME...IT APPEARS THAT THE NEXT ENHANCED RISK FOR HEAVY RAIN WILL BE
THURSDAY.
MODERATE TO MAJOR FLOODING IS POSSIBLE ON MANY AREA RIVERS OVER THE
NEXT WEEK. THE MAGNITUDE AND DURATION OF RIVER FLOODING WILL OF
COURSE BE DEPENDENT ON HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL RAINFALL OCCURS OVER THE
NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.

THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS PLACED MUCH OF THE AREA IN A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE STORMS WITH THE GREATEST POTENTIAL ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING THUNDERSTORMS WINDS ARE THE PRIMARY THREAT THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. AN ISOLATED TORNADO IS ALSO POSSIBLE. AREA RIVERS ARE EXPERIENCING FLOODING. PLEASE SEE THE LATEST FLOOD STATEMENTS AND FLOOD WARNINGS FOR DETAILS. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY WEDNESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE.

DAMAGING WIND AND LARGE HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE. THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. AT THIS TIME...IT APPEARS THE PROBABILITY FOR SEVERE STORMS IS LOW. THERE WILL BE A CONTINUED POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL BE NEEDED THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING.
