Area forecast discussion, Apr 9, 3:33 PM CDT, 1 hour 27 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE QUAD CITIES IA IL
333 PM CDT THU APR 9 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 332 PM CDT THU APR 9 2015

12Z UA ANALYSIS HAS AN 850MB LOW NEAR KOAX WITH A WARM FRONT INTO
SOUTHERN WISCONSIN. THE 850MB COLD FRONT RAN FROM THE LOW INTO THE
BIG BEND OF TEXAS. A LLJ RAN FROM EASTERN TEXAS INTO ILLINOIS.
SATELLITE TRENDS THROUGH MID AFTERNOON SHOW PLENTY OF LOW CLOUDS
FROM WISCONSIN INTO IOWA. RADAR SHOWS A LINE OF STRONG STORMS MOVING
RAPIDLY NORTHEAST FROM SOUTHERN IOWA AND MISSOURI TOWARD THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER.

18Z SFC ANALYSIS HAS MESO LOWS NEAR KCID AND KOXV WITH THE LIKELY
MAIN SYNOPTIC LOW NEAR KLWD. THE WARM FRONT RAN FROM THE LOW NEAR
KCID INTO NORTHERN ILLINOIS AND THEN EAST ALONG THE MICHIGAN/INDIANA
LINE. THE COLD FRONT RAN FROM THE SYNOPTIC LOW NEAR KLWD INTO NORTH
TEXAS. DEW POINTS WERE IN THE 60S FROM THE OHIO VALLEY WEST TO THE
MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND THEN SOUTH TO THE GULF COAST. DEW POINTS
IN THE 30S WERE ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST AND INTO MUCH OF THE PLAINS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 332 PM CDT THU APR 9 2015

ALL ATTENTION IS ON STORM DEVELOP AND EVOLUTION OVER THE NEXT 6
HOURS.

THE SYNOPTIC LOW SHOULD BE CLOSE TO KDBQ JUST PRIOR TO SUNSET WITH
THE COLD FRONT ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. THE MAIN SEVERE THREAT
WILL BE ALONG/AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. THE THREAT OF LARGE HAIL IS A
GIVEN BUT GIVEN THE FORWARD SPEED OF THE STORMS...DAMAGING WINDS ARE
ALSO POSSIBLE. ANY LOW LEVEL BOUNDARY WOULD PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR NEW
STORMS AND POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OF A TORNADO IF A STORM WOULD
INTERSECT SUCH A BOUNDARY.

AFTER SUNSET...STORMS WILL RAPIDLY END EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI WITH
THE OVERALL PRECIPITATION THREAT DROPPING AS WELL THROUGH MIDNIGHT.
AFTER MIDNIGHT...MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED WITH WRAP AROUND
CLOUDS MOVING THROUGH THE AREA.

ON FRIDAY...A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL DROP DOWN INTO THE
GREAT LAKES. MOISTURE IS LIMITED AND THE BETTER FORCING IS FROM
WISCONSIN INTO MICHIGAN. THUS DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED. DEEP
MIXING OF THE ATMOSPHERE WILL ALLOW BREEZY CONDITIONS TO DEVELOP ON
FRIDAY. TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE CLOSE TO NORMAL.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 332 PM CDT THU APR 9 2015

HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE MIDWEST FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH
SATURDAY RESULTING IN QUIET AND DRY CONDITIONS FOR THE AREA.
TEMPERATURES SHOULD AVERAGE A LITTLE ABOVE NORMAL.

A WEAK STORM SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT. THE
EVENING HOURS SHOULD BE DRY ACROSS THE AREA WITH SOME SHOWERS AND
POSSIBLY A THUNDERSTORM MOVING INTO THE WESTERN HALF AFTER MIDNIGHT.

THE STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA ON SUNDAY BRINGING A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA. CLOUD
COVER/PRECIPITATION WILL DICTATE HIGH TEMPERATURES BUT THEY SHOULD
BE A LITTLE ABOVE NORMAL.

SUNDAY NIGHT ON...
NEXT WEEK AN ACTIVE PATTERN LOOKS TO BE SEEN ACROSS THE AREA.
HOWEVER...THERE ARE DISAGREEMENTS ON THE TIMING OF STORM SYSTEMS.
THUS WHILE THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ACTIVE PATTERN IS THERE...OVERALL
CONFIDENCE ON TIMING IS LOWER THAN NORMAL.

THE STORM SYSTEM EXITS THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT. THE MODEL CONSENSUS
HAS CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE AREA.

MONDAY/MONDAY NIGHT THE MODEL CONSENSUS HAS DRY CONDITIONS FOR THE
AREA AS ANOTHER CANADIAN HIGH MOVES THROUGH THE MIDWEST.
TEMPERATURES SHOULD AVERAGE ABOVE NORMAL.

TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY THE MODEL CONSENSUS HAS MAINLY CHANCE POPS
FOR THE ENTIRE AREA AS ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH THE
MIDWEST. THERE ARE DISAGREEMENTS AMONG THE MODELS AS TO THE TIMING
OF THIS SYSTEM. THUS THE POSSIBILITY EXISTS THAT PART OF THIS TIME
PERIOD MAY BE DRY...WITH ONE TIME PERIOD BEING TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES
SHOULD AVERAGE ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1147 AM CDT THU APR 9 2015

VERY DIFFICULT AVIATION FORECAST FOR THE NEXT 6 TO 8 HOURS ACROSS
THE AREA. IT APPEARS THAT THE AREA WILL SEE THUNDERSTORMS...SOME
SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...AND POSSIBLY TORNADOES.
THE TIMING OF THESE STORMS IS DIFFICULT AND AS SUCH GONE WITH
TEMPOS OF THE APPROXIMATE TIME WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS. WINDS WILL
BE VRB CLOSE TO 50 KT GUSTS WHEN THEY COME IN. PLAN ON CHANGING
TEMPOS WITH MORE INFORMATION WHEN THE THREAT BECOMES CLEARER. ONCE
THESE SHOWERS AND STORMS LEAVE...THE WIND CHANGES AND WE SEE
MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE REST OF THE PERIOD.
