Area forecast discussion, Jun 25, 6:19 AM CDT, 3 hours 37 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Quad Cities IA IL 619 AM CDT Sat Jun 25 2022 ...AVIATION UPDATE... .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 314 AM CDT Sat Jun 25 2022 Thunderstorms with heavy rain continued to expand across portions of eastern Iowa during the early morning hours. Through 3 am, the heaviest rainfall amounts around 3 inches had occurred from Belle Plaine, through Marengo, to North Liberty. Early morning temperatures ranged from the mid 60s around Freeport, to the mid 70s in southeast Iowa. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight) ISSUED AT 314 AM CDT Sat Jun 25 2022 Key messages: 1) Morning storms with heavy rain, then afternoon/evening redevelopment. 2) Hot and humid today, especially south of Interstate 80. 3) Some potential for a few severe storms this afternoon and evening, along and east of the Mississippi River Today: Widespread thunderstorms will continue to push east this morning, with the highest coverage along and north of Interstate 80. Thus far, the main threat is heavy rain and isolated flash flooding. Max rainfall amounts of 3+ inches have fallen so far in parts of Benton, Iowa, and Johnson Counties. Will continue to watch closely for localized flash flood threat, particularly in urban areas. This afternoon, heat index values could approach 100 degrees along and south of Interstate 80, depending on cloud cover. Cannot rule out reaching advisory criteria in some places, but will defer to day shift to re-evaluate. By late afternoon, scattered storms are expected to fire along a cold front near the Mississippi River. Latest CAMS favor storm coverage near and east of the river, coincident with the SPC marginal risk area. Right now, we're looking at a relatively low risk of large hail and damaging winds. .LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday) ISSUED AT 314 AM CDT Sat Jun 25 2022 Largely unchanged forecast for the period as a beautiful day Sunday and Monday are still on track across the area. After this the flow turns to a more hot and humid pattern. Wednesday and Thursday continue to show highs in the 90s ahead of a cold front. This seems to be a pattern as of late. Cold front with milder temps, increase in heat and humidity, then a front with pop chances. Guidance agrees on the frontal passage sometime Friday. This looks to be the next best chance for pops in the extended. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Sunday Morning) ISSUED AT 619 AM CDT Sat Jun 25 2022 12Z TAF issuance focused on timing out thunderstorms from west to east this morning. Otherwise, expect MVFR to low VFR ceilings and an increasing southerly breeze. Storm redevelopment is most likely at KMLI/KBRL late this afternoon and have timed a 2 hour VCTS group at both sites beginning at 22z. && .DVN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IA...NONE. IL...NONE.
