HaaseWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Quad Cities, IA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Nov 4, 5:19 PM CST, 2 hours 11 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Nov 4, 5:19 PM CST, 2 hours 11 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Quad Cities IA IL 519 PM CST Sun Nov 4 2018 ...AVIATION UPDATE... .UPDATE... Issued at 442 PM CST Sun Nov 4 2018 A quick update has been sent to extend the period of categorical pops to the very early evening, along the Mississippi River, where the cold front is slowly moving through. A look at satellite shows cooling near SE Iowa, and this lift will move up along the front over the next few hours, which is handled by the HRRR. Additional rains should be 0.10 or less. ERVIN && .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 251 PM CST Sun Nov 4 2018 Rain has been tapering off from S/W to N/E this afternoon, as low pressure shifts from northeast Iowa into Wisconsin. Still a few bands of mainly light rain exist over eastern Iowa into Illinois near a vort max, with some spotty drizzle elsewhere. The storm system brought heavy rains of 1 to 2 inches along and west of the Mississippi River, with amounts tapering off further east into Illinois. This heavy rain will lead to renewed rises on some area rivers. Please refer to the hydro discussion below for more information on the heavy rainfall and potential impacts on area rivers. The next storm system in this active pattern will follow quickly on the heels of this departing storm, and spread rain back across the region Monday afternoon/Monday night. && .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Monday) ISSUED AT 251 PM CST Sun Nov 4 2018 Pockets of drizzle and light rain will continue to diminish through the evening with the frontal passage and low departing. Weak high pressure will then build in overnight into Monday morning, and may be accompanied by a transitory period of partial clearing. Forecast lows are in the upper 30s to around 40 degrees tonight, but these will be sensitive to sky cover/trends. Break from the rain will be rather short-lived, as the next system to impact the area already located upstream over the Northern Rockies. This system will shift into the Midwest during the day Monday, and spread rain back into the region mainly in the afternoon. This rain will be much, much lighter and likely around 0.25 inch or less in the presence of weaker dynamics (positive tilt trough), and less moisture. Forecast highs are in the range of around 50 to the lower 50s banking on some filtered sun many areas for a time in the morning, and then followed up by warm advective S/SE winds gusty at times by afternoon. .LONG TERM...(Monday Night through Sunday) ISSUED AT 251 PM CST Sun Nov 4 2018 Monday night and Tuesday...As the main sfc low migrates northeastward acrs central IN, the last wave of showers/rain associated with an inverted sfc trof and under the passing upper level trof axis, will move northeastward acrs the CWA Monday evening. The precip should wind down by midnight if not earlier, as wake system west-northwesterlies start to flow in acrs the region. Temps should start to cool advect into Tue morning with some upper 30s possible in the west by 12z Tue. Tue now looks dry with the region bathed in tight cyclonic LLVL flow south of multi-center cyclone complex acrs the northern GRT LKS. Fcst soundings show a mixing regime up to at least H9 MB Tue, tapping into robust northwest flow aloft surging into the area. Sounding profiles by both the 12z NAM and GFS suggest enough wind mix down momentum transfer to drive sfc winds into wind advisory criteria on Tue, while the 12z ECMWF is more in the way of 15 to 25 MPH with gusts to 38 MPH. Early highs in the upper 40s to low 50s, before the CAA wind machine brings about falling temps as the afternoon progresses. even with some clouds and lingering mixing winds, cold air advection itself to produce chilly Wed morning lows in the lower 30s, with a few upper 20s possible. Wed morning wind chills in the lower 20s and even some teens. Wednesday and Thursday...Strong Canadian ridge axis dumping down the plains and lee side in-building pressure gradient will continue to make for blustery raw conditions on Wed, with highs only in the upper 30s to low-mid 40s for most of the area. With any kind of clear out and some sfc wind drop off with the sfc ridge arrival, Wed night lows will be widespread 20s. After a cool Thu with highs having trouble getting out of the 30s in a few locations and cold core long wave upper trof pattern starts to establish acrs the mid CONUS, eyes turn to the low pressure and isentropic lift process developing on the southern edge of this process by Thu night for a snow making system. With the 12z medium range model runs, they continue to trend deeper with rounding upper jet energy and thus a deeper digging trof. This would shunt the bulk of the precip making processes to the south of the CWA for the period of concern, with the GFS shifting things to the lower MS RVR valley and the southeast. Even the latest 12z run ECMWF which had been bullish on accumulating snows of several inches for the local area for Thu night, now clips the southeastern third to quarter of the CWA with just a half inch or less of snow accums into early Friday morning. Will continue to watch this period with additional model runs for adjustments, but the trends have been noted enough to reduce POPs. Friday through next Sunday...The latest suite of medium range models continue to set up a winter-like regime as high amplitude cold core upper trof gets re-enforced from the northern plains to the GRT LKS opening up the upper Midwest to the coldest air of the season so far. Incoming thicknesses indicated by several longer range models suggest highs mainly in the 30s and lows in the 20s-teens this weekend period. While no real bi snow maker storms would be evident in this regime, the area may be open up to more of a clipper system scenario with one or two systems possible from Friday through the weekend in or near the local fcst area with at least some swaths of light snow accumulations possible. Trying to time and locate a path north or south of such a system problematic at this juncture, but both the 12z GFS and ECMWF generally target Sat night with a clipper system either acrs the area or just to the north with the capability of producing an inch or two along it's prime forcing wing. ..12.. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday Evening) ISSUED AT 517 PM CST Sun Nov 4 2018 Only a narrow window of time will separate the decaying rain event from tomorrow's new storm system. Tonight, light rains will slowly end from near the Mississippi River eastward through 10 PM. A gradual improvement from MVFR to VFR is expected overnight as dry air arrives on west winds. However, but 18Z Monday, the next storm arriving will bring light rain, and MVFR cigs back to the entire area. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 1130 AM CST Sun Nov 4 2018 Widespread rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches along and west of the Mississippi River from late Saturday through today, will produce considerable rises on some IA tributary rivers, with some eventual rise impacts on the Mississippi River as well during the coming week. The most impacted is the Iowa River basin which will have forecast points experience rises to bankfull, above action stage, and some spots may even surpass the flood stage during the coming week. With still some limited confidence in lingering rainfall and run-off effects, for now have issued River Flood Watches for four points on the Iowa River with some chance of reaching or surpassing the flood stage...Marengo, Lone Tree, Wapello, and Oakville. Routed water as well as localized rainfall will produce rises on the Wapsi, with De Witt now expected to rise to just under flood stage by Tuesday afternoon. On the Mississippi River...tributary input and local run-off will halt the falling levels, producing rises on most of the stretch from Dubuque on down to Gregory Landing during mid week through next weekend. Current projections suggest that sites such as Rock Island LD15, New Boston LD17, Keithsburg, and Gregory Landing to rise above action stage by late week or next weekend. Even a few sites possibly to reach or exceed the flood stage such as Gladstone LD18 and Burlington next weekend. With some time to monitor the rise trends and routed flow over the next few days, have held off a river flood watch for these sites for now. In northwest IL...expected rainfall and run-off today may produce rises well above action stage through next weekend at Freeport on the Pecatonica River, and Joslin on the Rock which may near the flood stage by week's end. Another storm system will then look to produce more rains across the area from Monday into early Tuesday. Current indications suggest only minor additional rainfall amounts of a quarter inch or less at most sites by Tuesday morning, which should not add too much to the projected river level trends. ..12.. && .DVN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
