...HEAT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM CDT THIS EVENING...

* WHAT...Heat index values of 100 to 105 expected. But if
  thunderstorms and clouds persist longer than expected, advisory
  criteria heat index values may not be reached and thus the 
  advisory may be cancelled early.

* WHERE...In Illinois, McDonough and Hancock Counties. In Iowa, 
  Lee County. In Missouri, Scotland and Clark Counties.

* WHEN...From 1 PM this afternoon to 7 PM CDT this evening.

* IMPACTS...Hot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat 
  illnesses to occur.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out
of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young
children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles
under any circumstances.

Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When
possible reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or
evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat
stroke. Wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing when
possible. To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent
rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone
overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location.
Heat stroke is an emergency! Call 9 1 1.

...HEAT ADVISORY IS CANCELLED...

Storms continue to form along the Iowa and Missouri border, which
is resulting in potential flash flooding, but also is serving to
keep clouds and rain cooled air over the area. The heat advisory
has been cancelled, though it will be quite muggy. There may be a
period late this afternoon where the sun comes out, and a few
hours could still see very warm conditions.

...AVIATION UPDATE...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 710 PM CDT Wed Aug 11 2021

Heat index values continue to fall below headline criteria and
heat advisory has expired.

Meanwhile, weak low level lapse rates and lack of decent
convergence has kept convection confined to north of Hwy 30 and
more isolated than earlier thought. The storms also continue to
weaken. However, the CAM's wants to develop numerous thunderstorms
south of I-80 towards midnight and into the early morning hours.
This occurs as the LLJ intensifies overnight similar to what
happened last night. We will continue to monitor convective
trends. Some locations may be vulnerable to flash flooding where
heavy rains fell last night.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 340 PM CDT Wed Aug 11 2021

Another extremely unstable airmass with SBCAPE 6000-7000 J/kg and
shear stronger than yesterday. A cold front was entering our far
nw cwa and thunderstorms were rapidly firing in ne IA along the
front. Several supercells were occurring in central WI where the
shear was even stronger. Another day with heat index values of 100+.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Thursday)
ISSUED AT 340 PM CDT Wed Aug 11 2021

Tonight: The front will get hung up in our far nw cwa keeping the
cwa in the very warm/unstable airmass. CAM's suggest a bkn-solid
line of thunderstorms, some severe with damaging wind 70+ mph,
will slide southeast/south across the entire cwa as the evening
progresses. These storms will be thriving on the extreme CAPE.
These storms will also have frequent lightning and torrential
rainfall with PWAT's of 2 inches.

Thursday: The front will get a push southward to about I-80 by
late afternoon, in response to a deepening trough in the upper
Midwest, and deep closed low near Hudson Bay. There will be at
least scattered thunderstorms developing again in the heat of the
afternoon along and south of the front. There may be a lull in the
action for a time in the morning but this is not a guarantee.
Highs south of the front will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s
with dewpoints in the mid 70s, while to the north it will be
somewhat less humid with a northwest wind. As of now, heat index
values may touch 100 but this will depend on cloud trends. I have
less confidence on heat headlines compared to the past couple of
days. Will pass concerns to the next shifts.

As of now, SPC has a marginal risk for severe storms ahead of the
cold front, with a slight risk in our far south.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday Night through Wednesday)
ISSUED AT 340 PM CDT Wed Aug 11 2021

Thursday Night...Uncertainties going into the night period with
lingering convection and associated debris, and the frontal
placement itself. But SR-ensembles suggest it bi-secting the CWA
from southwest-to-northeast or a bit southeast of that orientation
Thu evening. Built up or lingering CAPEs of 2000-4000 J/Kg possible,
shear profiles along the front of 30 to 40 KTs under broad cyclonic
troffiness aloft still would support some strong to severe storms
along the front Through at least mid evening, before a southward
adjustment and decrease in intensity occurs into the early Friday
morning hours. Maybe a lingering heavy rain and isolated flash flood
threat in the south later Thu night, especially if the projected
lingering PWAT's of 2 inches plus pooled to lee of the LLVL boundary
are correct.

Friday through Sunday...The blend lingers POPs in the southern CWA
through Friday morning, but mean southward frontal push and sfc
ridge arrival on newer model runs suggest most of the day will be
dry. More seasonable highs in the low to mid 80s, with dry down-
mixed sfc DPTs in the low 60s to 50s, will make for a fine
refreshing day. Friday night lows in the low 60s south to mid 50s
north. More of the same for the rest of the weekend as large GRT LKS
sfc high reigns acrs the region.

Monday through next Wednesday...Upper air/jet trends suggest semi
blocked mid CONUS pattern for a mainly dry and thermally moderating
regime into mid week with mid to upper 80s by Wed. Just a low chance
for instability and weak-perturbation driven isolated/sctrd showers
Wed afternoon that might not be worth mentioning at this point.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday Night)
ISSUED AT 1238 AM CDT Thu Aug 12 2021

A frontal boundary continues to sag southward through KMLI and is
expected to washout before reaching KBRl. Showers and
thunderstorms are developing early this morning near KBRL and to
the east of KMLI. These storms will bring MVFR to possibly IFR
visibilities to KBRL over the next 3 hours before the storms shift
eastward. At this time, I do not expect showers or storms to
impact the other TAF sites overnight.

After 12 UTC, expect winds to switch back to the south or
southeasterly ahead of anther cold front that move across the TAF
sites in the 18 to 00 UTC time range. A prob 30 group was added at
KBRL and KMLI for thunderstorm potential along and ahead of the
front. Currently have lower confidence at KCID and KDBQ.
