AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE QUAD CITIES IA IL
327 PM CDT MON MAY 12 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 325 PM CDT MON MAY 12 2014

12Z UA ANALYSIS HAS AN 850MB LOW IN NORTHERN MINNESOTA WITH ANOTHER
IN SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA. A STRONG 850MB COLD FRONT RAN SOUTH FROM THE
NEBRASKA LOW INTO SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO. A STRONG LLJ RAN FROM THE
GULF COAST INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES BRINGING VERY MOIST AIR
AHEAD OF THE 850MB COLD FRONT. SATELLITE/RADAR TRENDS THROUGH MID
AFTERNOON SHOW THINNING OF THE HIGH CLOUDS FOR AREAS GENERALLY
ALONG/EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. RADAR HAS STORMS SLOWLY
BECOMING MORE NUMEROUS ALONG AND JUST AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT.

18Z SFC ANALYSIS HAS LOWS WEST OF KFOD AND NORTHEAST OF KSTJ. THE
MAIN COLD FRONT CONNECTED THE TWO LOWS AND THEN RAN SOUTH INTO
EASTERN OKLAHOMA. DEW POINTS AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT WERE IN THE 60S
WITH 30S AND 40S ACROSS MUCH OF THE PLAINS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 325 PM CDT MON MAY 12 2014

BASED ON RADAR TRENDS THE PAST FEW HOURS...THE MAIN LINE OF STORMS
NEAR THE COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD THROUGH
SUNSET AND SLOWLY MOVE EAST. AHEAD OF THESE STORMS ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED CONVECTION WILL SLOWLY DEVELOP THROUGH SUNSET. IF
INDIVIDUALS STORMS CAN EVOLVE INTO AN ORGANIZED LINE...THE POTENTIAL
FOR SEVERE STORMS WOULD INCREASE.

A BAND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE AREA
DURING THE EVENING. DUE TO THE HIGH MOISTURE LEVELS IN THE
ATMOSPHERE...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE UNTIL THE COLD
FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA.

AFTER MIDNIGHT...THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL SLOWLY EXIT THE
EASTERN HALF OF THE AREA WHILE SHOWERS PERSIST ELSEWHERE. BY SUNRISE
RAIN IS EXPECTED TO END ACROSS THE FAR WESTERN AREAS.

ON TUESDAY...SHOWERS WILL END FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THE MORNING
WITH MOST OF THE AREA DRY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES TUESDAY
WILL BE AROUND 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 325 PM CDT MON MAY 12 2014

DRY CONDITIONS WILL BE SEEN ACROSS THE TUESDAY NIGHT AS HIGH
PRESSURE PUSHES INTO THE AREA. ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO THE SYSTEM
MOVING OUT OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM MOVES NORTHEAST
FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. DRY CONDITIONS
SHOULD BE SEEN ACROSS THE AREA WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH SHOWERS
DEVELOPING IN THE AFTERNOON. THE SHOWERS WILL SLOWLY INCREASE IN
AREAL COVERAGE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY AS THE STORM SYSTEM
MOVES INTO THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES.

TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY WILL AVERAGE WELL BELOW
NORMAL FOR MID MAY.

THURSDAY NIGHT ON...
THE MODELS CONTINUE TO AGREE THAT ABNORMALLY COOL CONDITIONS WILL BE
SEEN ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH SATURDAY WITH TEMPERATURES MODERATING
BACK TOWARD NORMAL BY EARLY NEXT WEEK.

THE MODEL CONSENSUS HAS SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS FOR THURSDAY
NIGHT AND FRIDAY AS DISTURBANCES CONTINUE TO ROTATE AROUND THE UPPER
LOW OVER THE GREAT LAKES.

FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS
THE AREA AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES THROUGH THE MIDWEST. IF WINDS BECOME
LIGHT ENOUGH AND SKIES CLEAR FRIDAY NIGHT...THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR
FROST.

SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY THE MODEL CONSENSUS HAS MAINLY DRY
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE AREA AS THE HIGH MOVES INTO THE EASTERN GREAT
LAKES AND WEAK SOUTHERLY FLOW DEVELOPS. SEVERAL OF THE GLOBAL MODELS
HAVE WEAK DISTURBANCES MOVING THROUGH IN THE FLOW ALOFT. IF
SUFFICIENT MOISTURE IS AVAILABLE...ISOLATED SHOWERS CANNOT BE RULED
OUT.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1232 PM CDT MON MAY 12 2014

VERY MOIST ENVIRONMENT ALONG WITH SURFACE HEATING AND APPROACHING
COLD FRONT WILL COMBINE FOR INCREASING COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND
STORMS ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING. COPIOUS MOISTURE
SHOULD RESULT IN MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS WITH THE STORMS... WITH
RISK OF A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WITH GUSTY WINDS AND HAIL.
COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PASS THROUGH THIS EVENING AND EXIT BY
EARLY OVERNIGHT BRINGING END TO PRECIPITATION. IN THE WAKE OF THE
FRONT ANTICIPATE LOW CLOUDS WITH MVFR TO IFR CIGS AND GUSTY
WESTERLY WINDS.
