Area forecast discussion, Jul 10, 2:10 AM CDT, 4 hours 1 minute before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Quad Cities IA IL 210 AM CDT Mon Jul 10 2017 .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 136 AM CDT Mon Jul 10 2017 A large MCS continue to move southeast through IA/MN/WI as of 1 AM. The two main focusing mechanisms appear to be a warm advection wing near 700mb over central to southeast WI, and another band of intense updrafts at the edge of the cap, from south central MN to near Fort Dodge. The southern flank of this will impact our area through 15Z with heavy rain, and possibly damaging winds and hail. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight) ISSUED AT 136 AM CDT Mon Jul 10 2017 The forecast for today will focus on timing out the morning storms, and increasing the heat and humidity. The front is expected to be north of the CWA today, and with the expected rainfall this morning, we should see a very humid day take place. By late morning, clearing should occur in most areas, with heat index readings near 90 north to near 100 south. This is near advisory, but with the uncertainty of storm/cloud evolution, will not issue any heat related headlines on this shift. The cap that is is holding over southwest Iowa will advect northeast today, making the prospect for additional surface based storms in our area a very low confidence outlook. There is a low chance an isolated storm could fire in the south today on outflow convergence, and if it did, a strong storm would be likely. ERVIN .LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday) ISSUED AT 136 AM CDT Mon Jul 10 2017 Hot and humid weather will continue through Thursday, with low confidence chance for showers and thunderstorms. The air mass will remain very moist, and storms will carry a locally heavy rain threat when the occur. As of now, the hottest day appears to be Wednesday which continues to show potential for a heat advisory during the afternoon and evening hours, when heat indexes reach the 95 to 103 range. By Thursday, the front is expected to move south, shifting the heat threat away from the region, at least for a day. By Friday and Saturday, another cool front will approach from the north, with temperatures rebounding back to the upper 80s, and a return to the upper 60s. A low chance for storms is included for the upcoming front, which does not appear to be strongly forced at this time. ERVIN && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday Night) ISSUED AT 1155 PM CDT Sun Jul 9 2017 Latest upstream radar trends support slightly slower timing for overnight storms at KCID/KDBQ/KMLI. Still some uncertainty as to the eventual intensity of winds and have toned them down slightly. Mainly MVFR ceilings and periods of IFR visibilities will likely accompany the storms, with a period of MVFR ceilings lingering into Monday morning. The chance of showers and storms is low at KBRL. && .DVN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IA...NONE. IL...NONE. MO...NONE. && SYNOPSIS...Ervin SHORT TERM...Ervin LONG TERM...Ervin AVIATION...RP Kinney
