AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE QUAD CITIES IA IL
332 PM CDT TUE MAY 20 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 315 PM CDT TUE MAY 20 2014

WEAK COLD FRONT WAS SAGGING TOWARDS OUR FAR NW CWA WITH VERY
UNSTABLE AIRMASS IN PLACE AHEAD OF THE FRONT. TEMPERATURES HAVE
CLIMBED INTO THE LOWER TO MID 80S WITH DEW POINTS IN THE LOWER TO
MID 60S. SBCAPES HAVE RISEN TO 2500 J/KG WITH STEEP LAPSE RATES OF
8 TO 9 C/KM. CU/TCU WAS FORMING ALONG THE BOUNDARY FROM OUR FAR
NORTHERN CWA BACK WEST TO OMAHA. MODEST CAPPING IN PLACE ASSOCIATED
WITH THE EML SHOULD WEAKEN BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON WITH EFFECTIVE
BULK SHEAR OF 40-50 KT ALLOWING FOR SCATTERED SUPERCELLS TO
DEVELOP ALONG THE COLD FRONT IN OUR NORTHERN CWA. IF THERE WAS A
SIGNIFICANT SHORT WAVE THIS WOULD BE A MORE WIDESPREAD EVENT BUT
THERE IS NOT.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 315 PM CDT TUE MAY 20 2014

FORECAST FOCUS ON SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO
THE EVENING THEN WARM BUT LESS HUMID ON WEDNESDAY.

LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH OVERNIGHT...RAPID REFRESH MESO MODEL
SUGGESTS SCATTERED SUPERCELLS ROUGHLY FROM I-80 NORTHWARD 4-9 PM THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. LOCAL SEVERE TOOLS ANALYSIS INDICATES HAIL TO
ABOUT GOLF BALL SIZE AND DAMAGING WINDS OF 60-70 MPH. THE 0-3KM
SHEAR VECTOR IS ONLY 20 KNOTS SO THE TORNADO THREAT APPEARS QUITE
LOW AT THIS TIME BUT NOT ZERO. WILL KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR ANY COLD
POOLS THAT MAY FORM AND INCREASING FORWARD SPEEDS OF LINE SEGMENTS
THAT WOULD ENHANCE THE WIND THREAT. THE SEVERE THREAT APPEARS TO
DIMINISH ABOUT 9 PM AS WE LOWER THE CAPE WITH THE SCATTERED STORMS
GRADUALLY SHIFTING SOUTHEAST INTO OUR SOUTHERN CWA LATER
TONIGHT...AS THE FRONT SAGS SOUTHEAST. DUE TO THE RATHER SLOW
MOVEMENT OF THE STORMS LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL OF UP TO AN INCH IS
LIKELY. HOWEVER... ANY REPEATING STORMS MAY PRODUCE OVER AN INCH.
THE COLD FRONT WILL PUSH INTO OUR NW CWA LATER THIS EVENING
REACHING OUR FAR SE COUNTIES EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. THIS WILL BE
A MILD NIGHT WITH MINIMUM TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM THE UPPER 50S
FAR NW TO THE MID 60S SE.

WEDNESDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE GRADUALLY BUILDING INTO THE CWA
FROM THE DAKOTAS. THIS SHOULD BRING A PLEASANTLY WARM DAY WITH
LOWERING HUMIDITY AS DEW POINTS DROP THROUGH THE 50S. ALSO PLENTY
OF SUNSHINE EXPECTED WHICH WILL BOOST AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES INTO
THE UPPER 70S NORTH TO MID 80S SOUTH.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 315 PM CDT TUE MAY 20 2014

WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...UPPER MO AND MS RVR VALLEY LLVL
RIDGE STILL PROGGED TO DUMP DOWN THE UPPER MIDWEST THIS
PERIOD...WHILE UPPER RIDGING TO LEE OF WEST COAST REX BLOCK AMPLIFIES
UPSTREAM CARS THE WESTERN PLAINS. WEST-TO-EAST LLVL BOUNDARY/FRONT
TO TEMPORARILY GET HUNG UP UNDER THE RIDGE/S SOUTHERN PERIPHERY ACRS
KS INTO MO WED NIGHT. MORE OPTIMUM NORTHERLY THTA-E FEED AND
CONVERGENCE TO SET UP MCS SPAWNING GROUNDS FROM EASTERN CO ACRS
SOUTHERN NEB AND KS...WITH A CHANCE FOR SOME OF THIS ACTIVITY MAKING
IT INTO THE FAR SOUTHWESTERN CWA IN DECAYING ALMOST DEBRIS FASHION
INTO THU MORNING. COOL LOWS IN TH UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S BY EARLY THU
MORNING NORTH OF I80. LONG FETCH LLVL MOISTURE CONVEYOR OFF THE
WESTERN GULF AND THEN WRAPPING AROUND UP THROUGH MEXICO THROUGH THE
LEE SIDE ROCKIES...COMBINED WITH VORT SPOKES OFF SOUTHWEST UPPER LOW
WILL MAKE FOR AN ACTIVE WESTERLY HIGH PLAINS THU INTO THU NIGHT.
WITH SEASONABLY STOUT LLVL RIDGE ESTABLISHING ACRS THE WESTERN GRT
LKS ALMOST BACKDOOR STYLE...DRYING NORTHEASTERLY LLVL FLOW AND
NORTH-WESTERLIES FURTHER ALOFT FROM UPPER RIDGE AXIS TO HAVE IT/S
PRECIP SHUNTING/EATING EFFECT AS ANYTHING ELEVATED TRIES TO COME ACRS
FROM THE CENTRAL TO NW HIGH PLAINS. THE NEW 12Z RUN ECMWF IS
ACTUALLY MORE BULLISH WITH THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA GETTING IN
UNDER SOME OF THIS ELEVATED SHOWER/ISOLATED EMBEDDED STORM ACTIVITY
FROM THE WEST...WHILE MOST OTHER MODELS JUST CLIP THE FAR SOUTHWEST
OR ARE MAINLY DRY THU INTO THU NIGHT. WILL KEEP LOW CHC POPS GOING IN
THE SOUTHWEST AS A COMPROMISE...BUT CURRENTLY PROGGED STRENGTH OF
RIDGE MAKES FOR A LEAN TOWARD THE DRIER SOLUTIONS. LLVL
NORTHEASTERLY FLOW WITH SOME LK MI EFFECT...AND HIGH DEBRIS CLOUDS
FILTERING THE INSOLATION SHOULD MAKE FOR JUST 70S BOTH THU AND FRI.
WHERE CIRRUS BLOW OFF THINNEST COULD MAKE FOR LOWS IN THE MID TO
UPPER 40S THU AND FRI NIGHTS IN SOME PORTIONS OF THE LOCAL FCST
AREA.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...LATEST MEDIUM RANGE TRENDS SUGGEST BLOCKED
PATTERN TO EDGE EASTWARD SLOWLY OVER THE WEEKEND...WITH BOTH SFC
AND UPPER RIDGING TO LEE OF SOUTHWEST CONUS UPPER LOW COMPLEX MAKING
FOR MAINLY DRY AND PLEASANT WX THROUGH SAT EVENING. THE 12Z GFS
WOULD BE DRY THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING...UNTIL ELEVATED WINGS OF WARM
AIR ADVECTION SHOWERS POSSIBLY RIDGE-RIDE/DRIFT ACRS THE CWA FROM
THE WEST ON SUNDAY. THE 12Z ECMWF IS MORE PROGRESSIVE WITH A TYPE OF
ELEVATED MCS ACRS THE AREA SAT NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING...BUT
SYNOPTIC SCALE PATTERN TRENDS AND FEATURE RECOGNITION SUGGEST THE
GFS MORE ON TRACK. IF DEBRIS CLOUDS AND ELEVATED SHOWERS DECAY
ENOUGH...EXTENT OF SOUTHERLY RETURN FLOW COULD BOOST TEMPS WELL INTO
THE 80S ON SUNDAY WITH SFC DPT INCREASE BACK AT LEAST TO THE LOWER
60S.

NEXT MONDAY AND TUESDAY...TIMING WILL BE EVERYTHING WITH RESPECT TO
THE CUT-OFF UPPER LOW ACRS THE SOUTHWESTERN CONUS FINALLY EJECTING TO
THE NORTHEAST. WHERE IT GOES/SHUNTED MORE TO THE NORTHEAST OR TRIES
TO UNDERCUT MORE EASTWARD/...AND STRENGTH OF LINGERING RIDGE COMPLEX
ALL NOT BEING HANDLED WELL. IT COULD BE WHERE THE LOCAL AREA REMAIN
LARGELY DRY AND WARMING INTO MEMORIAL DAY...WHILE THE PLAINS AND
UPPER MS RVR VALLEY/MN INTO WI/ STAY ACTIVE AMD WET. CURRENT LONG
RANGE MODEL TRENDS AND ENSEMBLES SUGGEST DAMPENING AND OPENING
UP UPPER LOW WILL EDGE CLOSE ENOUGH FOR MORE SCTRD SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORMS ACTIVITY BY NEXT TUESDAY...BUT AGAIN UNCERTAINTY
REIGNS AND COULD SEE A SCENARIO WHERE UNDERCUTTING EASTWARD DRIFT OF
THE CYCLONE MAKES FOR MORE WIDESPREAD PRECIP ACTIVITY TO THE SOUTH OF
THE LOCAL AREA THROUGH MID NEXT WEEK.     ..12..

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 315 PM CDT TUE MAY 20 2014

AFTERNOON THROUGH EVENING...WITH BEST POTENTIAL ALONG AND NORTH OF

EXPECTED IN THE STORMS...OTHERWISE VFR CONDS AWAY FROM THE STORMS.
PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL GRADUALLY LOWER AND SHIFT SOUTH OF
I-80 OVERNIGHT AHEAD OF THE FRONT. POTENTIAL FOR SOME FOG LATE
EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT WITH LIGHT WINDS AND WET GROUND. WINDS

THE FRONT. WINDS SPEEDS OUTSIDE OF THE STORMS WILL BE LESS THAN 10 KNOTS.
