Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Quad Cities IA IL
641 PM CDT Sat Jun 30 2018

.UPDATE...
Issued at 640 PM CDT Sat Jun 30 2018

Thunderstorms just north and northwest of the forecast area this
afternoon have sent out a southward moving outflow boundary,
evident on radar and satellite from Vinton through northern Linn
county to northwest of Dubuque. This was triggering scattered
showers and thunderstorms in its wake, which appear to be battling
a capping layer of warm air aloft over eastern IA and the rest of
the forecast area, which should initially keep these from
becoming severe in the otherwise very unstable, but weakly sheared
environment. Much more widespread, stronger storms continue over
central IA, assisted by an approaching shortwave, slightly cooler
temperatures aloft, and deeper shear. These are expected to
eventually spread eastward into the forecast area this evening,
but the lack of deep layer shear is expected to prevent widespread
severe storms, but will still have heavy downpours and possible
bursts of damaging winds to watch for later this evening.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 253 PM CDT Sat Jun 30 2018

At 2 PM CDT, convection starting to fire across north central
Iowa along a weak and slow moving cool front. Low level winds and
pressure fields all weak and support convection to move slowly
northeast arriving into far NW sections around mid evening hours.
Weak low level fields and forcing also suggests convection to
slowly diminish as it moves ahead of the boundary tonight. Upper
trough to pass Sunday with risk of more convection with surface
front and then slightly cooler and drier into Tuesday.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Sunday)
ISSUED AT 253 PM CDT Sat Jun 30 2018

Short Term Forecast Confidence Assessment...fair or average with
main issue is timing of convection arrival and evolution and
dissipation. This will be better known next 6 hours but current
trends suggest arrival in far NW about 8-9 PM CDT in a mature and
slowly decaying line with some strong to possibly near severe
winds into late evening. Rain amounts would tend to be light to
moderate or less than .75 inches which should not have major impact
regarding water issues.

Tonight...becoming mostly cloudy with likely POPS northwest and chance
POPS central and southeast. Southeast sections of light to no rainfall
amounts. Trends on severe risk, if any, better known in the next 3
to 6 hours. Area lows near 70F NW to near 75F in SE a reasonable forecast.
Best estimate is some areas may see gusty winds over 40 mph in NW sections
this evening for later shifts to monitor.

Sunday...convection overnight to impact renewed convection Sunday PM.
without a major outflow boundary overnight the shearing nature of
system suggests weakening forcing with early to mid PM convection
that may produce isolated strong to brief severe convection along
and especially east of the Mississippi River. Rain total again
light to locally moderate suggested at this time for limited water
issues. Highs lower 80s far NW to near 90F in far SE section a
default position.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday Night through Saturday)
ISSUED AT 253 PM CDT Sat Jun 30 2018

Temperatures to remain at or above normal through next week with
slighly cooler temperatures possible next weekend.

Sunday night
Assessment...medium confidence

Lingering showers/storms will persist into Sunday evening along and
east of the Mississippi and end by or shortly after midnight.

Monday/Monday night
Assessment...high confidence

High pressure will quickly move through the Midwest bringing dry
conditions to the area.

Tuesday
Assessment...low confidence on rain chances, high on temperatures.

Return flow develops across the area on Tuesday bringing more humid
air to the area. A weak disturbance moving through in the flow aloft
combined with daytime heating may allow isolated to scattered
showers/storms to develop in the late morning and afternoon hours.

Tuesday night on...

The overall weather pattern continues with the prospects of some
rain. However, areal coverage will be low.

Tuesday night through Thursday
Assessment...high confidence on warmer than normal temperatures,
low on rain chances.

Showers and thunderstorms will be mainly diurnally driven in the
Tuesday night through Thursday time frame. Convection would develop
in the late morning and afternoon and dissipate during the evening
hours. Areal coverage of any rain will be low.

Right now the model consensus slight chance pops at night with
slight chance to chance pops during the day.

Thursday night through Friday night
Assessment...low to medium confidence

The global models disagree on the timing but all show high pressure
eventually building into the Great Lakes late next week. Such a
scenario points to a cold front either moving through the area or
coming off the the Great Lakes that would usher in cooler
temperatures.

Rain chances are more questionable. Diurnal showers/storms would be
seen during the day with convection dissipating at night. However,
the prospects of a front moving through the area could allow
showers/storms to persist at night. Without the front, areal
coverage of the rain will be low. During the passage of the front
areal coverage of rain should increase.

Right now the model consensus has slight chance to chance pops with
the better areal coverage on Friday.

Saturday...
Assessment...medium to high confidence

The current model consensus has dry conditions on Saturday with high
pressure over the Great Lakes.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday Evening)
ISSUED AT 640 PM CDT Sat Jun 30 2018

A cold front moving through the region late tonight and Sunday
will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms. The timing and
coverage of these storms remains low confidence beyond the next
few hours, when storms and associated outflow boundaries will
affect mainly the CID and DBQ terminals. For now, this is handled
with mostly vicinity wording, which advances into MLI and BRL
later this evening. The next main window for organized
thunderstorms looks focused around mid to late Sunday afternoon,
where prob30 wording was utilized. Otherwise, conditions will be
mainly VFR with a very low potential for IFR fog and low clouds
for at least brief periods in the wake of thunderstorms tonight,
which was not included in the forecasts at this time.
