AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE QUAD CITIES IA IL
626 PM CDT TUE JUN 25 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 319 PM CDT TUE JUN 25 2013

THE ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN REMAINS OVER THE REGION TODAY.  AN UPPER
RIDGE WAS LOCATED OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. WITH A S/W OVER THE NORTHERN
ROCKIES.  AT THE SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WAS OVER THE DAKOTAS WITH A
WARM FRONT EXTENDING SOUTHEAST THROUGH EASTERN IOWA AND NORTHERN
ILLINOIS.  THE AIRMASS SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT WAS MOIST WITH THE H8
ANALYSIS SHOWING A RIBBON OF 12C TO 15C PLUS DEWPOINTS FROM TEXAS
INTO IOWA AND NEBRASKA. BY EARLY AFTERNOON SCATTERED TSRA WERE
DEVELOPING AGAIN OVER SOUTHEAST IOWA AND WEST CENTRAL IL.  THESE
SHRA/TSRA WERE ASSOCIATED WITH A SMALL VORT THAT WAS EVIDENT IN THE
LATEST VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 319 PM CDT TUE JUN 25 2013

THE FLASH FLOOD THREAT REMAINS A REAL CONCERN OVER THE AREA FOR
TONIGHT WITH THE WARM FRONT OVER THE NORTHERN CWFA AND PW/S FORECAST
TO INCREASE AROUND 2 INCHES NEAR THE BOUNDARY THIS EVENING.
INCREASING SWLY H8 WINDS THIS EVENING AND MUCAPES AROUND 2000J/KG
SOUTH OF THE FRONT SHOULD SUPPLY ENOUGH FORCING AND INSTABILITY TO
INITIATE THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF IOWA BY LATE
EVENING.  THIS SCENARIO WOULD FAVOR THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CWFA
FOR A HEAVY RAIN THREAT...SO WILL CONTINUE TO THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH
OVERNIGHT.  MESOSCALE MODELS WERE SUGGESTING THE STORMS WILL
PROPAGATE TO THE SOUTH INTO THE SOUTHERN CWFA BY LATE EVENING.  IF
THIS OCCURS THEY COULD BRING SOME HEAVY RAIN TO AREAS SOUTH OF
I80...BUT THE GROUND OVER THE SOUTHERN CWFA IS DRIER AND COULD SOAK
UP A GOOD RAIN...LIMITING A WIDESPREAD FLASH FLOODING THREAT. THERE
WILL ALSO BE A SEVERE WEATHER RISK WITH THE STORMS OVERNIGHT WITH
WIND AND HAIL THE MAIN CONCERNS.

FOR WEDNESDAY THE OVERNIGHT CONVECTION SHOULD STABILIZE THE
AIRMASS FOR THE MORNING HOURS. BY AFTERNOON THE NORTHERN ROCKIES
S/W AND WEAK COLD FRONT SHOULD BE MOVING THROUGH THE REGION. THE
TIME OF THESE FEATURES PASSING THROUGH SUGGESTS THE THREAT OF
SIGNIFICANT THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT AND HEAVY RAIN WILL BE EAST
OF THE FORECAST AREA SO THE EXPIRATION TIME OF THE FLASH FLOOD
WATCH WILL REMAIN 7 AM WEDNESDAY. DESPITE THE SURFACE BOUNDARY
MOVING THROUGH THE WARM HUMID CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. WEDNESDAY HIGHS SHOULD STILL BE IN THE 80S
TO NEAR 90.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 319 PM CDT TUE JUN 25 2013

REMNANT CONVECTION FROM WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON SHOULD LINGER INTO THE
EARLY EVENING BEFORE DISSIPATING. AS SUCH SCHC POPS ARE OVER ROUGHLY
THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE CWFA DURING THE EVENING.

AFTER MIDNIGHT AND THROUGH THURSDAY QUIET AND DRY CONDITIONS SHOULD
BE SEEN ACROSS THE AREA. A LACK OF FORCING SHOULD PRECLUDE ANY
CONVECTION FROM DEVELOPING FOR MUCH OF THE DAY ON THURSDAY.

THURS NIGHT THE MCS TOOLS ARE GIVING A WEAK SIGNAL SUGGESTING SOME
LOOSELY ORGANIZED CONVECTION DEVELOPING IN SOUTHERN IOWA LATE THURS
AFTERNOON/EVENING AND THEN MOVING GENERALLY SOUTHEAST THURS NIGHT.
IF CORRECT...THIS CONVECTION WOULD CATCH THE FAR SOUTHWEST PART OF
THE CWFA. GIVEN THE OVERALL UNCERTAINTY IN MOISTURE AND FORCING...
HAVE OPTED TO GO WITH SCHC POPS IN THE FAR SOUTHWEST PARTS OF THE
CWFA THURS NIGHT.

ON FRIDAY THERE ARE DISAGREEMENTS AMONG THE MODELS BUT WHAT IS
SUGGESTED IS A RESPECTABLE VORT MAX/SHORT WAVE WILL COME DOWN IN THE
NORTHWEST FLOW DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. DIURNAL HEATING MAY BE
ENOUGH TO GENERAL AFTERNOON ISOLATED CONVECTION OVER ROUGHLY THE
EASTERN HALF OF THE CWFA.

FRIDAY NIGHT ON...
THE MODEL CONSENSUS HAS SCHC POPS OVER ROUGHLY THE NORTHEAST THIRD
OF THE CWFA. IF CONVECTION DEVELOPS FRI AFTERNOON IT WOULD LINGER
INTO THE EVENING BEFORE DISSIPATING.

THE OVERALL FLOW PATTERN ALOFT CHANGES FOR THE WEEKEND AND EARLY
NEXT WEEK. THERE IS DISAGREEMENT ON PLACEMENT AND STRENGTH OF THE
OVERALL FEATURES BUT THE GLOBAL MODELS GENERALLY AGREE THAT AN UPPER
LOW WILL BE EITHER OVER OR JUST EAST OF THE AREA. WITH A COLD POOL
ALOFT AND DISTURBANCES ROTATING AROUND THE LOW THERE SHOULD BE A
THREAT OF DIURNAL SHOWERS BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY
AFTERNOON/EVENING. THE MODEL CONSENSUS HAS SCHC/CHC POPS REFLECTING
THIS WITH TEMPERATURES AROUND NORMAL.

THE MODEL CONSENSUS CURRENTLY HAS SUNDAY NIGHT MAINLY DRY AS THE
UPPER LOW MOVES INTO THE OHIO VALLEY.

MONDAY/TUESDAY NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT IS WELL ESTABLISHED ACROSS THE
MIDWEST. ALTHOUGH HIGHLY SMOOTHED...THE MODELS SHOW NUMEROUS WEAK
DISTURBANCES EMBEDDED IN THE FLOW. ANY ONE OF THESE FEATURES MAY BE
CAPABLE OF GENERATING DIURNAL CONVECTION IF SUFFICIENT LIFT AND
MOISTURE ARE AVAILABLE. THE MODEL CONSENSUS HAS SCHC/CHC POPS FOR
BOTH MONDAY AND TUESDAY REFLECTING THIS.                ..08..

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 614 PM CDT TUE JUN 25 2013

THUNDERSTORMS HAVE YET TO DEVELOP OVER THE AREA SO FAR THIS
AFTERNOON. AS WE ENTER INTO THE EVENING HOURS THE BETTER THREAT OF
STORM DEVELOPMENT WILL FOCUS ALONG A WARM FRONT FROM NORTHWEST
INTO EAST CENTRAL IOWA AND INTO NORTHERN ILLINOIS. THE MOST LIKELY
AREA ALONG THIS BOUNDARY WILL BE OVER NORTHWEST IOWA AS LOW
LEVEL WINDS INCREASE OUT OF THE SOUTH AFTER SUNSET. BASED ON THIS
SCENARIO THE STORMS SHOULD REACH EASTERN IOWA AND NORTHWEST
ILLINOIS WITHIN A COUPLE HOURS OF MIDNIGHT. MODELS ARE SUGGESTING
THE STORMS WILL START MOVING IN A MORE SOUTHERLY DIRECTION AS THEY
GET CLOSE TO THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. IN THE 00Z SET OF TAFS
THUNDERSTORMS WERE DELAYED UNTIL LATE THIS EVENING ALONG AND NORTH
OF I80 AND AFTER MIDNIGHT TO THE SOUTH. FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OUT SIDE OF THE STORMS WITH CONDITIONS
LOWERING TO MVFR AND IFR WHERE THE THUNDERSTORMS OCCUR. SOME FOG
WILL BE POSSIBLE AFTER THE STORMS MOVE OUT OF THE AREA LATE
TONIGHT. BY LATE MORNING OR EARLY AFTERNOON A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL
MOVE THROUGH TURNING WINDS TO THE WEST. SOME ADDITIONAL SHRA/TSRA
DEVELOPMENT IS POSSIBLE BY EARLY AFTERNOON ALONG THE FRONT AS IT
MOVES PAST THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER.
