Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Quad Cities IA IL
318 PM CDT Thu Aug 3 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 318 PM CDT Thu Aug 3 2017

An upper level low was evident on satellite imagery over central
MN with an associated low at the surface further south near La
Crosse at 2 pm. Showers and thunderstorms that moved through the
forecast area this morning have shifted east into a linear
complex from central IL north through the Chicago area. Subsidence
behind this system has resulted in widespread clearing and
sunshine over much of the forecast area early this afternoon ahead
of the synoptic cold front evident on both satellite and radar
imagery from near Independence southwest to Knoxville in south
central IA. So far, showers and thunderstorms have been confined
to north of the eastern IA highway 20 corridor, in an area of
strongest upper level forcing. Further south, the atmosphere in
the clear sector appears capped over much of eastern IA. Behind
the cold front, brisk northwest winds were drawing down a fall-
like airmass with temperatures in the 60s in northwest IA and even
some 50s over portions of southern MN.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Friday)
ISSUED AT 318 PM CDT Thu Aug 3 2017

Initial focus is on the potential for severe storms this afternoon
as the cold front sweeps through. A cool, fall-like airmass then
follows for tonight into Friday.

Latest 19z DVN sounding shows a convective temperature of 90,
confirming the lack of cloud cover in the immediate wake of the
departing system. However, with steepening low level lapse rates
due to continued low level warming and mid level cooling, and an
axis of 35 kts effective shear due to a stronger flow wrapping
around the upper low, there still appears to be a window of
possible strong to severe storm development over southeast IA into
west central IL mid to late afternoon. With surface and mixed
layer CAPES in the 2000 to 2500 J/KG range, damaging wind and
large hail may be possible with any initial discrete cells,
morphing into more linear structures with mainly a wind threat
toward evening.

This threat will exit to the east early this evening with the
passing front, followed by the influx of cool, dry air overnight.
Wrap around stratocu will most likely cover the north, with at
least partial clearing elsewhere. Stayed with lows in the 50 to 55
range, which would be about 10 to 15 degrees below early August
averages.

Friday, an in-building surface ridge, associated and confluent
flow aloft behind the upper low moving into the Great Lakes points
toward most areas seeing at least afternoon sunshine with gusty
northwest winds. Model guidance and local temperature rules
support highs only around 70 in northwest Illinois to the mid 70s
over southeast IA and northeast MO.

.LONG TERM...(Friday Night through Thursday)
ISSUED AT 318 PM CDT Thu Aug 3 2017

Temperatures remain relatively cool through the weekend with one
or more upper level shortwaves bringing back rain chances and the
potential for at least isolated thunderstorms from Saturday
afternoon through Sunday. The Canadian airmass with seasonably low
dewpoints will lead to overnight lows in the 50s.

Next week: Model consensus and an active, progressive upper level
pattern has temperatures returning closer to August normals by
mid week after a cool start. Passing upper level troughs will
require keeping at least low chances for showers and thunderstorms
Monday and again Wed into Thu.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday Afternoon)
ISSUED AT 1227 PM CDT Thu Aug 3 2017

A cold front will sweep through eastern Iowa and northern Illinois
through 03z/04. Scattered TSRA are expected along and ahead of
the front that will be capable of creating brief IFR conditions.
Outside of any SHRA/TSRA activity expect mainly VFR conditions
with pockets of MVFR. After 03z/04 MVFR conditions will move back
into KDBQ with cigs below 2 kft agl with VCSH. MVFR conditions may
affect KCID/KMLI but were not included in the 18Z TAFs.

1015 AM CDT Thu Aug 3 2017

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

A line of thunderstorms will move across eastern Iowa this
morning. These storms are not expected to be severe, but wind
gusts up to 45 mph and heavy downpours will be possible north of
highway 30.

Thunderstorms are expected to redevelop this afternoon over
eastern Iowa and move into northwest Illinois through early
evening. Wind shear and instability is likely to be sufficient for
severe storms with large hail and damaging winds. LOW level shear
is expected to be highest along the highway 20 corridor, where
there will be a low threat of tornadoes. While the atmosphere is
very moist and locally heavy rain is possible, storms should be
moving fast enough to limit any significant flash flood threat.

The Storm Prediction Center has a slight risk outlooked for areas
east of a line from Monticello, Iowa through the Quad Cities, to
Carthage Illinois. A marginal threat covers the rest of the
outlook area.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

The probability for widespread hazardous weather is low.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be required this afternoon and evening.
