...Periods of Heavy Rain Today and Tonight...

.Scattered showers and thunderstorms developing this morning will
become more widespread this afternoon and evening as a very humid
air mass remains over eastern Iowa and northwestern Illinois.

flooding in urban areas, and near smaller rivers and streams.
More prolonged high water levels are also possible as the ground
becomes saturated.

...Isolated Flash Flooding Possible Tonight...

.Areas of showers and isolated thunderstorms can be expected
overnight. Due to the very humid air mass across eastern Iowa and
northwest Illinois, rainfall of up to an inch is still possible 
in spots. Due to the very saturated ground from heavy rain the 
past several days, any additional moderate to heavy rainfall could
cause isolated flash flooding.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Quad Cities IA IL
336 AM CDT Thu Jun 21 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 325 AM CDT Thu Jun 21 2018

Showers and isolated storms continued through the early morning
hours across far eastern Iowa and northwest Illinois. Some patchy
fog developed over parts of eastern Iowa. Early morning
temperatures were mainly in the 60s.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight)
ISSUED AT 325 AM CDT Thu Jun 21 2018

The main forecast issues in the short term period are the potential
for more heavy rain, resulting in additional flash flooding and more
significant river flooding.

In the near term, radar and model trends indicate expanding showers
and isolated storms across the northern and eastern counties, in an
airmass with PWAT values near 2 inches. This will likely continue
for most of the morning hours. Farther south, scattered showers and
storms are expected with partial clearing allowing for sufficient
instability. A few strong storms are possible this afternoon and
evening, especially along and south of Interstate 80. Model
consensus points to the northeast third as the area of heaviest
rainfall through tonight. Some of these areas, especially the
Highway 20 corridor, are primed for additional flooding due to
recent heavy rain. Have opted for a flash flood watch for the
northeast through tonight, to cover both short term flooding and
more prolonged flooding from creeks and streams. Later shifts may
have to expand the watch. This additional rain will likely
exacerbate the ongoing river flooding as well. See discussion below
for details. Highs today should range from the upper 60s northwest
to upper 70s southeast with lows tonight mainly in the low 60s.

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday)
ISSUED AT 325 AM CDT Thu Jun 21 2018

Showers and isolated storms will taper off Friday. Will have to
monitor for lingering heavy rain past 12z Friday morning. Rain
chances are low for the upcoming weekend. The next organized
rainfall looks favored for late Monday through Tuesday. There is
some potential for additional significant rain and some severe
weather.

Expect a gradual warming trend through the period. Highs Friday
will be in the 70 to 75 degree range, warming into the low 80s for
the weekend. By next Wednesday, the heat/humidity combo could push
heat index values close to 100 degrees.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday Night)
ISSUED AT 1220 AM CDT Thu Jun 21 2018

Showers and perhaps some isolated thunderstorms will continue
rotating northward during the early morning hours, impacting
mainly KMLI/KDBQ with MVFR visibilities and IFR ceilings.
KCID/KBRL will likely have periods of LIFR conditions overnight.
Ceilings will lift to mainly MVFR this afternoon with periods of
showers and isolated storms.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 1000 PM CDT Wed Jun 20 2018

Very heavy rainfall of 2 to 4 inches fell across portions of eastern
Iowa and northwest Illinois Wednesday. Other portions of the
forecast area also received 1 to 2 inches. This will cause rises
on several rivers including the Mississippi River.

Moderate flooding is expected on the Rock River at Joslin and
Moline, and also the Wapsipinicon River at De Witt.

The Mississippi River will continue rising for at least the next 1
to 2 weeks with minor to moderate flooding forecast from Dubuque
to Gregory Landing. The river is expected to go above flood stage
within the next 4 to 7 days so a flood watch has been issued for
several forecast points. Even before this afternoon's rain the
river was rising from very heavy rainfall that occurred in
Minnesota and Wisconsin several days ago.

A flood watch is also in effect for the Iowa River at Marengo,
the Pecatonica River at Freeport, and the Rock River at Como.

Rounds of showers and scattered thunderstorms will continue
through the end of the week, with more widespread showers and
thunderstorms arriving early to mid next week with the potential
for more heavy rainfall. Stay tuned for later forecasts and
updates.
