Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Quad Cities IA IL
256 PM CDT Wed May 29 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 255 PM CDT Wed May 29 2019

18Z surface data has a weak low between KDSM and KAIO. A frontal
boundary runs east southeast from the low across southern Iowa and
into central Illinois. Dew points were in the 40s and 50s from the
Great Lakes into the northern Plains. Near and south of the frontal
boundary dew points were in the 60s and 70s.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Thursday)
ISSUED AT 255 PM CDT Wed May 29 2019

Will be hoisting a new flash flood watch for tonight. The risk area
is thoroughly saturated and even 0.5 inches of water has the
potential to create significant problems. The areal coverage may or
may not change as storms evolve tonight.

Considerable cloud cover during the day may prevent convection from
developing prior to sunset. Any convection that does develop will be
isolated in nature.

Tonight the weak low in central Iowa will slowly move east southeast
as an upper level disturbance moves north from the Plains. The
combination of these features will allow thunderstorms to develop
that will organize into another storm complex with the best chances
of rain along and east of the Mississippi.

Last night large scale features dominated the production of heavy
rain. Tonight storm scale processes will dominate. Thus the area of
heavy rainfall will be much smaller. Storms tonight will have the
potential to produce 1 to possibly 1.5 inches of rain in a more
localized area.

Late tonight rain will slowly end from west to east with most areas
west of the Mississippi dry by sunrise.

Thursday morning areal coverage of the rain will continue to
decrease during the morning hours. By late morning and during the
afternoon an upper level low will slowly move across the area. This
upper low is expected to generate new convection during the
afternoon hours.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday Night through Wednesday)
ISSUED AT 255 PM CDT Wed May 29 2019

The extreme active weather will have a break from Thursday night
through Friday, as a warm airmass spreads into the region, and flow
aloft transitions to northwest flow. After a mainly clear night in
the mid to upper 50s, Friday appears deeply mixed, and warm.  Highs
with dry ground could easily have topped 90 in that pattern, but
with such incredibly wet soils, will go under this potential, with
lower to mid 80s. Friday night, and Saturday, northwest flow will
bring the threat for showers and thunderstorms, but these should be
quick movers and offer much less of a heavy rain threat. Pending
coverage tonight, this could offer an isolated heavy rain threat,
but may also be benign.

The remainder of the forecast is mainly dry, but with low
confidence. Northwest flow any time of year will bring fast moving
chances for rain, that are not widespread in the region, thus pops
tend to be low until we know timing and path. That can be said for
the period from Saturday through Wednesday. Highs will average near
to below normal, with good drying potential outside of rain chances.
For some, this could be week that may allow for some field work.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday Afternoon)
ISSUED AT 1240 PM CDT Wed May 29 2019

A frontal boundary remains across southern Iowa east into central
Indiana. North of the boundary MVFR conditions were widespread
with some pockets of VFR. MVFR/VFR conditions will persist through
through 02z/30 with isolated TSRA/SHRA developing. After 02z/30
the next storm system will move into the Great Lakes creating
widespread MVFR conditions with areas of IFR with SHRA/TSRA.
After 12z/30 conditions will slowly improve to MVFR/VFR with rain
ending.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 1127 AM CDT Wed May 29 2019

Extremely heavy and widespread rain fell in the past 24 hours,
resulting in significant rises on virtually all area rivers. This
was forecast, but is normal for excessive rain events, there was a
stripe of heavy rain that exceeded the smoothed out forecast
rainfall, which in this case fell between Highway 30 and Highway
34 in Iowa and Illinois. Flash flooding was widespread, and
continues as areal flooding in some locations. This will be the
case until water reaches into rivers. As time goes on, the areal
flooding will be more spotty.

That said, there remains shower and thunderstorm potential into
tonight. Depending on the coverage of storms, another heavy rain
stripe is possible along and east of the Mississippi River
tonight. If that falls into the Rock River basin, this would
increase the flood crest there, and possibly cause higher crest on
the Mississippi River in the Quad Cities through Muscatine.

Yesterday's rain and earlier rains have brought Major flooding to
the Des Moines River from Keosaqua through St. Francisville. That
input combined with local flash flood run off to bring a rapid
rise (continuing through now), on the Mississippi River from
Burlington through Keokuk and Gregory Landing. As the Des Moines
River falls tomorrow, the decreasing input should result in a flat
crest in that area. The inputs upstream from routed water are
significant, but the decreasing Des Moines will limit the rises
after today.

mainly south of a line from Kirksville, Missouri to Sterling,
Illinois. North of this line there is a marginal risk of severe
storms.

If severe storms develop the primary risks would be damaging winds
and large hail. The most likely time frame would be 5 to 11 PM.

Area rivers are experiencing flooding. Please see the
latest Flood Statements and Flood Warnings for details.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

While flooding will continue through the period, no significant
hazardous weather is expected at this time.
