AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE QUAD CITIES IA IL
702 PM CDT WED JUN 24 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 305 PM CDT WED JUN 24 2015

12Z UA ANALYSIS HAS AN 850MB WARM FRONT FROM CENTRAL
NEBRASKA...THROUGH SOUTHWEST IOWA...AND INTO SOUTHERN ILLINOIS.
ALONG AND SOUTH OF THIS FRONT WAS VERY WARM AND MOIST AIR. A WEAK
LLJ RAN FROM WEST TEXAS INTO CENTRAL KANSAS. SATELLITE/RADAR
TRENDS THROUGH MID AFTERNOON HAS A LOOSELY ORGANIZED CONVECTIVE
COMPLEX MOVING ACROSS IOWA WITH ANOTHER DEVELOPING BACK ALONG THE
MISSOURI RIVER.

18Z SFC DATA PLACES AN INFERRED LOW JUST EAST OF KOMA WITH A WARM
FRONT RUNNING FROM THE LOW TO NEAR KSTL. DEW POINTS ALONG AND
SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT WERE IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S. NORTH
OF THE WARM FRONT DEW POINTS WERE IN THE 50S TO LOWER 60S.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 305 PM CDT WED JUN 24 2015

RADAR AND RAP TRENDS WILL TAKE THE CURRENT CONVECTIVE COMPLEX EAST
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EARLY EVENING. THE LACK OF
INSTABILITY ACROSS THE AREA MEANS THE COMPLEX WILL BE RAIN WITH
EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE
WITH THE STRONGER CONVECTION.

THERE ARE STILL QUESTIONS REGARDING THE OVERALL SEVERE THREAT FOR
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE SECONDARY CONVECTIVE COMPLEX
BACK ALONG THE MISSOURI RIVER IN WESTERN IOWA MAY POSE THE BETTER
THREAT OF SEVERE STORMS. IF SEVERE STORMS DO OCCUR LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AREAS SOUTH OF I-80 WOULD BE MORE AT
THREAT.

AFTER SUNSET AND THROUGH SUNRISE THURSDAY...THE SECONDARY
CONVECTIVE COMPLEX WILL GROW UPSCALE AS FORCING AND MOISTURE
INCREASES ACROSS THE AREA. THE MODELS DO SUGGEST A SURFACE LOW
MOVING THROUGH THE CENTRAL PART OF THE AREA TONIGHT HELPING TO
ENHANCE THE RAINFALL. HEAVY RAIN IS DEFINITELY A THREAT AS STORMS
MAY MOVE REPEATEDLY OVER THE SAME AREAS.

BASED ON WHAT HAS ALREADY OCCURRED TODAY...RAINFALL OF 2 TO 4
INCHES IS PLAUSIBLE SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE THURSDAY.

ON THURSDAY...RAIN WILL SLOWLY END FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST
DURING THE DAY. IF CLOUDS REMAIN ACROSS THE AREA FOR MUCH OF THE
DAY...THE NORTH HALF OF THE AREA MAY BE DRY DURING THE AFTERNOON
HOURS.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 305 PM CDT WED JUN 24 2015

FORECAST HIGHLIGHTS OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD INCLUDE A TRANSITION TO
NORTHWEST FLOW...COOLER TEMPERATURES...AND PERIODIC RAIN CHANCES.

FOR THURSDAY NIGHT...THE FAR SOUTHERN FRINGE REMAINS IN THE MARGINAL
RISK AREA FOR SEVERE STORMS ALONG THE RESIDUAL BOUNDARY. WILL ALSO
HAVE TO MONITOR THIS AREA FOR HEAVY RAIN PER THE 12Z NAM...ALTHOUGH
THAT PARTICULAR MODEL IS THE MOST BULLISH ON QPF. ON FRIDAY...EXPECT
ADDITIONAL SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS AS AN UPPER TROUGH DIPS
THROUGH THE REGION IN SHARPENING NORTHWEST FLOW. THIS FORCING WILL
EXIT QUICKLY FRIDAY NIGHT FOR A DRY PERIOD CONTINUING THROUGH
SATURDAY.

LOOKING AHEAD...ADDITIONAL SCATTERED RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE EVERY DAY
FROM SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. PERSISTENT NORTHWEST FLOW WILL GUIDE
PERIODIC SHORT WAVE ENERGY INTO THE FORECAST AREA. CONSENSUS BLENDED
POPS OF 20-40 PERCENT ARE REASONABLE. THE OVERALL SEVERE WEATHER
THREAT THROUGH THIS PERIOD IS LOW. SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE BULK OF THE LONG TERM
PERIOD...WITH HIGHS MAINLY IN THE UPPER 70S...PERHAPS OCCASIONALLY
TOUCHING THE LOWER 80S.&&

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 647 PM CDT WED JUN 24 2015

VFR OR MVFR WILL PREVAIL FOR NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. A CLUSTER OF
SHOWERS AND STORMS HAVE FORMED OVER WEST-CENTRAL IOWA WHICH WILL
PROPAGATE TOWARD THE E/SE WITH TIME. THEREFORE...LOOK FOR
DETERIORATING CONDITIONS MOSTLY AFTER 03Z-05Z/THURSDAY.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS SUPPORT TORRENTIAL RAINFALL AND
LOCALIZED HIGH WINDS WITH ANY STORMS THAT FORM...RESULTING IN THE
POTENTIAL FOR SOME PERIODS OF IFR/LIFR. MOST LIKELY WINDOW FOR
STORMS TO IMPACT KCID/KMLI/KBRL IS BETWEEN 06Z-012Z...EARLIEST AT
KCID AND LATEST AT KBRL. WILL LIKELY NEED TO UPDATE WITH MORE
AGGRESSIVE TEMPO GROUPS AS STORMS GET CLOSER.

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 305 PM CDT WED JUN 24 2015

ANOTHER ROUND OF HEAVY RAIN WILL BE SEEN ACROSS THE AREA FROM LATE
THIS AFTERNOON INTO THURSDAY MORNING. SOILS ACROSS THE AREA ARE
ALREADY QUITE MOIST AND THIS ADDITIONAL RAINFALL WILL QUICKLY
SATURATE THE SOILS. AREA RIVERS ARE ALREADY RUNNING HIGH FROM
HEAVY RAINFALL OVER THE PAST 10 DAYS AND SOME ARE IN FLOOD. THIS
ADDITIONAL RAIN WILL RESULT IN ADDITIONAL RISES...SOME POSSIBLY
SIGNIFICANT...ON AREA RIVERS AND INCREASE THE FLOOD THREAT.
