...18z AVIATION UPDATE...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 508 AM CDT Thu Jun 4 2020

Summertime madness...we're not focused, not capped, and we've got
plenty of energy. Thus, even dry periods need pop updates it
seems. Our far northwest is now seeing elevated showers pop up
north of the decayed comma head in MO. I'd had though those would
be farther south, but I've had to add low pops for showers all the
way up through Buchanan county. Meanwhile, just southeast of
Macomb, strong storms formed, became widespread and then
dissipated in the same hour. This stuff will give you grey hair!

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 252 AM CDT Thu Jun 4 2020

Warm and humid air has pushed slightly south of the area early this
morning, enough to push the convectively active areas outside of our
CWA since late evening. Cirrus is still found over much of the
region north of the storms in Missouri, and this has been the main
reason so far the dense fog has been limited in it's reach. Still,
through sunrise, that remains the main weather hazard.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight)
ISSUED AT 252 AM CDT Thu Jun 4 2020

The comma-head portions of the Missouri complex may brush the far
southern counties early today, we will have some rain chance south.
Another thing to watch will be if any elevated showers can form just
north of the stratiform rain's edge, as we still are carrying some
elevated CAPE over our area.

Like the past two days, we will build a large amount of surface CAPE
today, as highs reach the mid to upper 80s, with dewpoints in the
lower to upper 60s.  Heat index readings will reach the upper 80s to
around 90. It appears with the convective outflow to our south
today, and little in the way of any forcing, we should be dry for
the most part. While an intense afternoon storm cannot be ruled
out, it's not worth widespread pops for this threat.

Tonight, forcing is subtle, if at all, but propagation will slowly
carry convection that forms to our northwest into our CWA, and with
so much available energy into the night, (MU CAPE over 1500), an MCS
may well move into the western half the area after midnight. This is
not certain, as it will require a developed cold pool to occur, the
MCS maintenance supports propagation east/southeast into our
area. As with the past few days, the atmosphere supports very
heavy rain rates, and we'll need to watch where this falls, for
isolated flash flooding threats. Lows tonight, in the warm and
humid air, will only fall to the upper 60s in most locations.

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday)
ISSUED AT 252 AM CDT Thu Jun 4 2020

Key Messages:

1) Showers/storms possible with a front Friday.

2) Dry and quiet weather expected for the weekend into Monday.

3) Eyes on the tropics for mid-week.

Discussion.

Friday...

Long range CAMs are a bit of a mixed bag on how storms will evolve
at the beginning of the period (should be no surprise especially
given yesterday). What bears watching right now is that there
appears to be some consistency in bringing a MCS from southern
Minnesota and northeast Iowa across the area ahead of a 500 hPa
impulse exiting from the Dakotas. This looks to track southeast as
flow switches to the northwest and the complex follows an
established northeast to southwest MUCAPE gradient. It is expected
to impact parts of eastern Iowa and northwest Illinois before it
gradually weakens during the mid-morning as we lose additional
forcing from the LLJ.

There is some potential for storms to be strong as they take
advantage of steepening mid-level lapse rates ahead of the
shortwave, which are forecast to be near 7-8 C/km (leading the
MUCAPE values around 1000-2000 J/KG). This would result in some hail
potential with the strongest storms. Some strong wind gusts will
also be possible with dry air intrusions aloft. SPC currently has a
marginal to slight risk in place across the area for this reason.

We should see a break in precipitation by late morning and midday
before a cold front arrives during the late afternoon and evening.
There is some potential for showers and storms to refire as the
front passes, but coverage will be fairly scattered as there is
little support aloft. The severe weather threat across our area is
low with modest shear, but any storm that develops may have the
potential to produce small hail and strong brief wind gusts.

Saturday through Monday...

Cold front will pass through the area and will settle to our south
through the weekend as surface high pressure builds across the area.
Aloft, ridging will build in and effectively push the jet stream
into the upper Mississippi River Valley and take any storms with it.
This will leave us under dry and pleasant conditions with a mix of
sun and clouds. Afternoon highs in the upper 70s to low 80s, and
overnight lows in the upper 50s to mid 60s are expected, with
dewpoints generally in the mid 50s or lower. By Monday, the surface
high will progress east of the Great Lakes, allowing southerly flow
to return to the area. Afternoon highs should rise back into the mid
to upper 80s.

Monday Night on...

Eyes will then turn to the south as we watch the evolution of
Cristobal. Sunday morning, guidance shows the tropical system
centered just south of Louisiana with the 500 hPa high pressure
centered over Missouri, effectively creating a rex block across the
central U.S. (which will be giving us the nice weekend weather).
This will be short lived as Cristobal looks to start phasing with an
approaching long wave trough moving across the Rockies. The
GFS/ECMWF are is good agreement of bringing its remnants across the
Great Plains into the Midwest, bringing plentiful moisture and
copious amounts of rainfall to the area. Meanwhile, the Canadian is
somewhat more optimistic and keeps the system more into the Gulf
States, keeping us mainly dry for the period.

Temperatures will be highly dependent on where the remnants of the
tropical system pass. For now, a blended solution advertises highs
in the mid to upper 80s Tuesday, with highs in the 70s by mid-week.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday Afternoon)
ISSUED AT 1216 PM CDT Thu Jun 4 2020

Mostly VFR conditions will be seen for the next 24 hours at the
terminals. Scattered cumulus clouds are expected to develop this
afternoon in the warm and humid airmass. Some isolated showers or
thunderstorm may occur this afternoon especially at CID/DBQ, but
confidence is very low on placement and thus left out of TAF for
now. Clouds increase overnight with winds switching to the west
and then northwest late in the period.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 1111 AM CDT Wed Jun 3 2020

Showers and thunderstorms moved southeastward across the area this
morning. Radar estimated rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches fell
north of a Cedar Rapids to Freeport line. Another area of 1 to 2
inches fell between a Burlington to Galesburg line and just north
of Interstate 80. The rain fell quickly in some locations causing
flash flooding in parts of Bureau and Putnam Counties. Radar
estimates also showed some pockets of heavier rain up to 2.50
inches in northwest Bureau County and far northeast Henry County
Illinois.

There were no major changes to the ongoing river flood warnings
on portions of the Iowa, Cedar, Wapsipinicon, and Mississippi
Rivers. The rain that fell this morning has not been included in
the river forecasts and this may cause changes to the forecast
this evening.

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

An area of rain with embedded weak thunderstorms are possible
south of Interstate 80 this morning, then another hot and humid
day may lead to isolated strong storms this afternoon. Later
tonight, strong to severe thunderstorms in northern Iowa will move
towards the outlook area, mainly after midnight.

The storm prediction center is forecasting a slight risk for
severe storms over Iowa, with a marginal risk over much of eastern
Iowa and northwest Illinois and Missouri. The main risk from
storms will be torrential rainfall, but damaging winds and large
hail will be possible, especially late tonight.

Torrential rainfall could lead to isolated flash flooding this
afternoon and tonight.

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

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

A few thunderstorms will be possible across the area Friday morning
before dissipating by midday. Some storms may be strong to severe,
with large hail, damaging winds and heavy rain the primary threats.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be needed late this afternoon and
overnight.
