WHAT A STORM SYSTEM! TRAINING OF THUNDERSTORMS ALREADY TAKING
PLACE ACROSS EASTERN IA INTO NW IL WITH REPORTS OF SIGNIFICANT
FLASH FLOODING AND WITH RAINFALL AMOUNTS ALREADY AT LEAST 2 TO 3
INCHES IN SOME LOCATIONS. THIS IS RAPIDLY TURNING INTO A SERIOUS
FLASH FLOOD/FLOOD SITUATION IN SOME AREAS. EVEN HAD A WAKE LOW
PRODUCE WIND GUSTS OVER 45 MPH IN OUR NW CWA BEHIND THE AREA OF
THUNDERSTORMS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. WITH A NEARLY STATIONARY
FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN CENTRAL MO AND PERSISTENT STRONG SOUTHERLY LOW
LEVEL JET IMPINGING ON THE FRONT...NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS HAVE
BEEN OCCURRING. SURFACE DEW POINTS AROUND 70 SOUTH OF THE FRONT
WITH TEMPERATURES AROUND 80. NORTH OF THE FRONT ONLY IN THE 30S

CONTINUE THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING.
TONIGHT...OPERATIONAL MODELS INDICATE NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS TO
CONTINUE WITH TRAINING OF STORMS IN SOME AREAS. HIGH PRECIPITABLE
WATERS OVER 1.50 INCHES WILL ENSURE TORRENTIAL RAINS IN
THUNDERSTORMS. ANOTHER 2 TO 4 INCHES LIKELY IN MANY AREAS (NOT
INCLUDING WHAT HAS ALREADY FALLEN) AND THIS WILL CAUSE SERIOUS
FLASH FLOODING IN SOME LOCATIONS. SURFACE WAVE MOVING NORTHEAST
SHOULD PULL THE WARM FRONT INTO THE CWA SO TEMPERATURES WILL BE ON
THE RISE. SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE TONIGHT IN STRONGER STORMS AND A
TORNADO CAN'T BE RULED OUT CLOSER TO THE WARM FRONT IN OUR SE CWA
THIS EVENING.
THURSDAY...HEAVY RAIN TO CONTINUE INTO THE MORNING AS MAIN DEEP
TROUGH AND STRONG COLD FRONT ARRIVE FROM THE WEST. SURFACE LOW
THEN BEGINS DEEPENING AS IT TRACKS TO NEAR MILWAUKEE BY EVENING.
TIMING OF THE STRONG COLD FRONT WILL BE CRITICAL IN REGARDS TO
WHEN A MAJOR TORNADO OUTBREAK BEGINS TO DEVELOP. AT THIS POINT IT
APPEARS THE FRONT SHOULD PUSH JUST TO THE EAST OF THE DVN CWA
KEEPING THE MAIN OUTBREAK TO OUR EAST AND SOUTH. HOWEVER...THE GFS
IS A BIT SLOWER AND THEREFORE OUR EASTERN COUNTIES MAY GET IN ON
THE START OF THE OUTBREAK. HAVE PUSHED TEMPERATURES INTO THE LOWER
70S IN OUR FAR EASTERN COUNTIES AHEAD OF THE FRONT.
.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 249 PM CDT WED APR 17 2013
THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...STRONG COLD FRONT WILL HAVE PUSHED
WELL TO OUR EAST BY MIDNIGHT SWEEPING THE BULK OF THE RAIN OFF TO
OUR EAST. DEFORMATION ZONE TO FOLLOW ON FRIDAY WITH A MIX OF RAIN
AND SNOW BUT ANY ACCUMULATIONS OF SNOW WILL BE MINIMAL IF ANY.
WILL BE A CHILLY AND WINDY DAY ON FRIDAY WITH NORTHWEST WINDS
GUSTING TO 35 TO 40 MPH MAKING IT FEEL EVEN COLDER.
FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES MOST OF
THIS PERIOD EXCEPT ON MONDAY WHEN TEMPERATURES SHOULD PUSH INTO
THE 60S. GFS STILL SHOWS SEVERAL RAINY DAYS SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY
NIGHT BUT THE ECMWF SHOWS RAIN MAINLY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. AT
THE TAIL END OF THE STORM SYSTEM ENOUGH COLD AIR MAY GENERATE SOME
SNOW FLAKES MIXED IN WITH THE RAIN.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 249 PM CDT WED APR 17 2013
IFR CIGS/VIS IN NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCING TORRENTIAL RAIN
