killers in heavy rains. Campers and hikers should avoid streams or
creeks.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Quad Cities IA IL
1159 PM CDT Sun Aug 5 2018

...06Z AVIATION UPDATE...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 701 PM CDT Sun Aug 5 2018

Storms continue to advance southeast across the forecast area this
evening on an outflow boundary with shear parameters supporting
severe winds along bowing storm segments currently moving into far
northwest Illinois. The trailing outflow further west and
southwest, interacting with an axis of very high SBCAPES, but
lower shear will move into the I-80 corridor this evening and
possibly further south. This may lead to at least isolated severe
storms, with both low end severe hail and damaging wind possible.
Heavy rainfall will be a threat with any storm based on the axis
of high pw residing over east central IA.

Have updated the forecast for higher pops further south this
evening with another round of updates going out soon to adjust for
the latest convective trends.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 225 PM CDT Sun Aug 5 2018

At 2 PM CDT, a stream of moisture with convection extended along
and south of a slow moving cold front from Colorado into Northwestern
Illinois. Typical of a late summer southwest monsoon regime. This
is textbook situation for areas of convection with some severe but
more possibly beneficial and locally heavy rainfall the next 24
plus hours with precipital waters at or over 1.75 inches ahead of
this slow moving boundary.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Monday)
ISSUED AT 225 PM CDT Sun Aug 5 2018

Short Term Forecast Confidence Assessment...poor to very poor or
below to well below average. This is a situation that is handled
poorly by all solutions as evidenced by past 18 plus hours.

Low Confidence Reasoning...New convection in NW Iowa just
starting will likely impact northern areas this evening along and
north of I-80. Locally heavy rains with some gusty winds of 40 to
70 mph suggested. Clouds and convection likely underdone with
impacts of lowering highs tomorrow with south displacement of
heavier rainfall possible.to south of I-80 a concern. Areas of 2
plus inches possible and with training of storms may approach 3
plus inches for evening shift to monitor.

Tonight...raised pops and pushed a bit further south with risk mid
to late evening still underdone. Expect vigorous convection to arrive
in the northwest between 7 and 10 PM tonight with some bowing segments
possibly by late evening of near severe to severe winds to or even
above 70 mph. Main concern appears 1 to 2 plus inch rain amounts, especially
along and north of highway with a decent risk along and even south
of I-80 corridor a possibility. Lows in north with heavier rains may
be at least a few degrees cooler with decent cool pools or mid to upper
60s suggested. Minor hydrologic issues are suggested until get to near
3 inch rain totals or sustained rainfall totals over 2 inches in an
hour or less.

Monday...poor confidence in highs with lots of clouds and likely areas
of showers and storms with continuing risk of locally heavy rains across
central and north sections and possibly into south with decent stratifying
precipitation. Areas of 1 to 2 inches continue to seem possible with
some training of storms still a concern. Highs in central and north
easily could be 3 to 5 degrees too high for later shifts to monitor.
Minor hydrologic issues are suggested.

.LONG TERM...(Monday Night through Sunday)
ISSUED AT 225 PM CDT Sun Aug 5 2018

Monday night: Cold front will continue pushing southeast across the
cwa accompanied by scattered to numerous thunderstorms (pops 50-60
percent). Some of these storms may be strong to severe ahead of the
front with decent shear/SBCAPE.

Tuesday through Sunday: Northwest flow looks to keep much of the cwa
dry during this time frame. Little or no rain is expected, at least
nothing significant that I can tell. Temperatures will be normal to
a bit above normal, with highs in the 80s and lows in the 60s.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday Night)
ISSUED AT 1159 PM CDT Sun Aug 5 2018

Thunderstorms will continue to track across northeast Iowa,
impacting the DBQ site through the rest of tonight with occasional
heavy rain, strong gusty winds and frequent lightning. The CID and
MLI may see some storms toward sunrise, but confidence was too low
to include in the forecasts. BRL will remain dry through the
night. As the front settles south, showers and thunderstorms are
expected to impact all terminals Monday, but confidence remains
low in the timing and thus only PROB30 wording was utilized.
Outside of the showers and thunderstorms, conditions are expected
to be prevailing VFR.
