This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of north central
Illinois...northwest Illinois...west central Illinois...east
central Iowa...northeast Iowa...southeast Iowa and northeast
Missouri.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect for areas along and
north of Highway 30 through 10 AM for freezing rain and some
sleet. Ice accumulations up to around two tenths of an inch are
expected.

A Wind Advisory is in effect for the entire area from late
tonight after Midnight, through Sunday evening.

A Flash Flood Watch has been issued for the entire area today
through this evening.

Rounds of moderate to locally heavy rain will move across the area
today through this evening. By this evening, much of the area may
have received rainfall amounts generally of a half inch, up to
two inches. This kind of rainfall combined with some snow melt
will produce the threat for flash flooding and general flooding.
Otherwise ponding of water on roads and drainage ditches is likely.
Urban and small stream flooding may also occur as the day
progresses.

Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are possible from roughly 2
PM to 8 PM. There is a marginal risk for severe storms this
afternoon across far southeastern Iowa into west central Illinois.
Hail and damaging winds would be the primary threats from any
strong to severe storm that may develop. Any storm will also be
able to produce locally heavy downpours and add to the flash flood
potential.

Saturday night, the rain is expected to change to snow from west
to east before ending. Snowfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches will be
possible by Sunday morning mainly northwest of a Cedar Rapids to
Manchester Iowa line. Areas to the east and south of those areas,
down to Interstate 80 will get less than an inch of snow.

Very strong west to northwest winds will develop late tonight
through Sunday. Sustained winds of 25 to 35 mph are expected with
gusts up to 50 mph. Higher gusts over 55 MPH may occur during a
couple of hours either side of daybreak Sunday morning. The high
winds may cause blowing and drifting snow in the areas that get a
few inches. Also, the strong winds combined with still falling
snow will produce significantly reduced visibility or even near
blizzard conditions in rural areas.

Run-off from all the rain, as well as snow melt may lead to
considerable rises and possible flooding along area rivers.
Breakup ice jams will also be a concern.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

Very strong winds of 25 to 30 MPH and gusts to 50 MPH will
continue Sunday through Sunday evening. Higher gusts will be
possible in the morning. A Wind Advisory is in effect through
Sunday evening.

Wind chills may approach 20 below zero by Monday morning along
the Highway 20 corridor.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

There is a low chance that spotter activation will be needed this
afternoon. Reports of significant ice accumulations or flooding will
be appreciated today.
