AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE QUAD CITIES IA IL
754 AM CDT SAT JUL 11 2015

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 743 AM CDT SAT JUL 11 2015

INCOMING MORNING RAINFALL REPORTS HAVE SEVERAL SITES REPORTING 0.5
TO OVER 1 INCH OF RAIN WITH THE CONVECTIVE COMPLEX ACROSS THE
SOUTH HALF OF THE AREA. THE FORECAST HAS BEEN REVISED TO INCREASE
RAINFALL AMOUNTS SIGNIFICANTLY THIS MORNING ALONG WITH LOWERING
TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY.

THE RAIN FROM THIS COMPLEX IS MOISTENING THE GROUND FOR LATER
RAINFALL THIS AFTERNOON. RAINFALL LATER TODAY AND ESPECIALLY
TONIGHT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE HEAVY. HOWEVER...THE FORCING IS
MORE ON THE MESOSCALE INSTEAD OF SYNOPTIC SCALE SO THE HEAVIER
RAINFALL IS EXPECTED TO BE MORE LOCALIZED. THIS SITUATION MAKES IT
QUITE DIFFICULT TO PIN DOWN A THREAT AREA.

THESE CONCERNS WILL BE PASSED TO THE ONCOMING SHIFT FOR A RE-
EVALUATION OF THE HEAVY RAIN THREAT.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 248 AM CDT SAT JUL 11 2015

06Z SFC DATA HAS AN INFERRED FRONTAL BOUNDARY FROM NORTHERN KANSAS
INTO WESTERN KENTUCKY WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE OHIO VALLEY. DEW
POINTS WERE IN THE 50S TO LOWER 60S ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY AND GREAT
LAKES WITH MID 60S AND INTO THE 70S FROM THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY ON
SOUTH.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 248 AM CDT SAT JUL 11 2015

THE EXPECTED NOCTURNAL THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX HAS TAKEN A BIT LONGER
TO DEVELOP BUT IS SLOWLY GROWING UPSCALE FROM SOUTHWEST IOWA INTO
NORTHERN MISSOURI. THIS COMPLEX SHOULD CONTINUE TO GROW UPSCALE
THROUGH SUNRISE AND SLOWLY MOVE EAST NORTHEAST. AHEAD OF THE COMPLEX
WAS A WING OF ELEVATED SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS. THIS WING OF
CONVECTION WAS HAVING TROUBLE MAINTAINING ITSELF IN THE DRIER AIR
AND WEAKER FORCING.

AFTER SUNRISE THE SOUTHERN IOWA COMPLEX WILL SLOWLY MOVE INTO THE
AREA AND GRADUALLY WEAKEN AS THE OVERALL FORCING DECREASES. THE
BETTER RAIN COVERAGE WILL BE ACROSS THE SOUTH HALF.

BOUNDARIES LEFT OVER FROM THIS COMPLEX WILL COMBINE WITH
DIFFERENTIAL HEATING DURING THE DAY TO ALLOW ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
CONVECTION TO PERSIST INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS.

BY LATE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS...AREAL COVERAGE
OF STORMS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE WITH AN APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE. A NEW THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX WILL DEVELOP AND GROW
UPSCALE THROUGH MIDNIGHT FROM EASTERN IOWA INTO NORTHERN ILLINOIS
AS FORCING/MOISTURE INCREASE.

IF THE MODELS ARE CORRECT...PWATS WILL BE 1.6 TO 1.9 INCHES
SUGGESTING SOME STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL. THE GEM IS SUGGESTING THE POTENTIAL FOR STORMS TO RE-
DEVELOP AND MOVE OVER THE SAME AREAS. IF THIS DOES OCCUR...THEN
RAINFALL WOULD BE EXCESSIVE.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 248 AM CDT SAT JUL 11 2015

MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS IN THE LONG TERM ARE THREEFOLD: HEAVY
RAIN...SEVERE WEATHER AND EXTREME HEAT SUNDAY AND MONDAY...COOLER
TEMPS WITH A LIMITED STORM THREAT TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...THEN AN
INCREASED THREAT OF HEAVY RAIN AND SEVERE WEATHER AGAIN THURSDAY.

WHILE BOTH SEVERE WEATHER AND HEAVY RAIN ARE INDICATED AS THREATS
BY THE 00Z MODELS SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...WITH HIGH PRECIPITABLE
WATER VALUES BETWEEN 1.5 AND 2 INCHES THROUGH THE PERIOD...HEAVY
RAIN WOULD BE THE PREDOMINATE THREAT. EXTREME CAPE VALUES LIKELY
REFLECT NAM AND GFS EXAGGERATION OF LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE FIELDS...
AND THE ECMWF LOOKS MORE REASONABLE IN THIS REGARD (WHICH IS STILL
PLENTY SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT A SEVERE WIND THREAT).

THUNDERSTORMS FROM SATURDAY NIGHT WILL LINGER SUNDAY...THEN AN
MCS EMBEDDED IN NORTHWEST FLOW WITH DECENT UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT IS
SHAPING UP FOR SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. THE LOCATION OF THE WARM
FRONT WILL KEY THE AREA MOST UNDER THREAT...AND AT THIS TIME...
THAT WOULD APPEAR TO BE THE NORTHEAST PART OF THE CWA MAINLY NEAR
AND TO THE NORTH AND EAST OF THE QUAD CITIES.

TEMPERATURES WILL RAMP UP INTO THE LOWER 90S ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST
PORTION OF THE CWA SUNDAY AND MONDAY...AND DEW POINTS ARE
FORECAST WELL INTO THE 70S...EVEN LOWER 80S. THE NAM AND GFS DEW
POINTS APPEAR TOO HIGH AND HAVE BEEN TRIMMED BACK IN THE GRIDS
ACCORDINGLY. BUT EVEN WITH THIS CHANGE...APPARENT TEMPERATURES
ARE STILL PROGGED TO EXCEED 100 DEGREES IN THE SOUTHWEST SUNDAY
AND MONDAY AFTERNOONS. THIS MAY NECESSITATE A HEAT HEADLINE
UNLESS MODEL DEW POINTS ARE SERIOUSLY OVERDONE...IN WHICH CASE
APPARENT TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TOO HIGH. AT ANY RATE...IT
SHOULD BE THE HOTTEST AND MOST HUMID WEATHER SO FAR THIS SUMMER.

PRECIP CHANCES DIMINISH TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY AS THE
AFOREMENTIONED UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM PUSHES A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE
AREA. THIS WILL TAKE THE EDGE OFF THE HEAT FOR THE REMAINDER OF
THE WEEK BUT DEW POINTS WILL CONTINUE ON THE HUMID SIDE.

BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF INDICATE PASSAGE OF A LATE WEEK UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH...AND THE 00Z ECMWF HAS JUST COME IN LINE WITH THE GFS
TIMING FOR THURSDAY. PWS...CAPE AND SHEAR ALL LOOK SUFFICIENT TO
EXPECT A RETURN OF THE HEAVY RAIN AND SEVERE WEATHER THREAT.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 646 AM CDT SAT JUL 11 2015

A CONVECTIVE COMPLEX WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST NORTHEAST ACROSS
EASTERN IOWA AND NORTHERN ILLINOIS THROUGH 18Z/11 AND SLOWLY
DISSIPATE. MVFR WITH BRIEF IFR CONDITIONS WITH TSRA CAN BE
EXPECTED. AFT 18Z/11 CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE TO MVFR/VFR WITH
DIURNAL TSRA DEVELOPING. AFT 00Z/12 TSRA WILL SLOWLY EVOLVE INTO
ANOTHER CONVECTIVE COMPLEX ACROSS IOWA/ILLINOIS WITH THE POTENTIAL
FOR MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS DEVELOPING.

440 AM CDT SAT JUL 11 2015

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF NORTH CENTRAL
ILLINOIS...NORTHWEST ILLINOIS...WEST CENTRAL ILLINOIS...EAST
CENTRAL IOWA...NORTHEAST IOWA...SOUTHEAST IOWA AND NORTHEAST
MISSOURI.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE TODAY AND TONIGHT ACROSS THE AREA.
THERE IS A LOW RISK OF SEVERE STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
IF SEVERE STORMS WOULD DEVELOP...THE PRIMARY THREAT WOULD BE
DAMAGING WINDS.

A BIGGER CONCERN FOR TONIGHT IS THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL.
ALTHOUGH NOT CERTAIN...THE POSSIBILITY DOES EXIST FOR STORMS TO
DEVELOP AND MOVE OVER THE SAME AREAS. IF THIS SCENARIO OCCURS...
RAINFALL AMOUNTS COULD BE EXCESSIVE AND POTENTIALLY RESULT IN FLASH
FLOODING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

WEAKENING THUNDERSTORMS EARLY SUNDAY COULD REIGNITE SUNDAY
EVENING PROVIDING A LOCALIZED THREAT OF LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING
WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN. A MORE SIGNIFICANT THREAT IS POSSIBLE DURING
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS INTO MONDAY WHEN STORMS NORTHWEST OF THE AREA
COULD COALESCE INTO A LINE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING WINDS
AND HEAVY RAIN. THESE STORMS WILL CONTINUE EARLY MONDAY...THEN A
SIMILAR PATTERN IS POSSIBLE WITH SEVERE STORMS REIGNITING MONDAY
AFTERNOON OR EVENING.

ALL OF THIS ACTIVITY WILL OCCUR IN PROXIMITY TO A WARM FRONT...
THUS THE ULTIMATE LOCATION OF THAT BOUNDARY WILL INDICATE THE AREA
OF HIGHEST RISK. AT THIS POINT THAT AREA APPEARS TO BE GENERALLY
NORTHEAST OF A LINE FROM WATERLOO TO BURLINGTON IOWA.

IN ADDITION TO THE THUNDERSTORMS...HEAT INDEX VALUES MAINLY SOUTH
AND WEST OF THE QUAD CITIES ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY AFTERNOONS COULD
REACH OR EXCEED 100 DEGREES.  THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST EXTREME HEAT
EPISODE OF THE SEASON...SO IMPACTS DUE TO HEAT STRESS TO PEOPLE
WORKING OR RECREATING OUTDOORS COULD BE SIGNIFICANT IF CAUTION IS
NOT EXERCISED.

WHILE THUNDERSTORMS CANNOT BE RULED OUT TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...A
MORE SIGNIFICANT THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS IS FORECAST THURSDAY WITH
BOTH LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AND SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE. AT THIS POINT
IT IS TOO EARLY TO PIN DOWN ANY DETAILS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED TODAY OR TONIGHT. RAINFALL
REPORTS OVER AN INCH WILL BE APPRECIATED.
