Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Quad Cities IA IL 654 PM CDT Fri Aug 19 2022 .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 310 PM CDT Fri Aug 19 2022 Stacked upper low in sw MN was beginning to spread large scale ascent across the cwa with thunderstorms developing in the instability and 30-35 kt bulk shear. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday) Issued at 310 PM CDT Fri Aug 19 2022 Stacked upper low will track southeast into eastern IA with several rounds of showers and thunderstorms through Saturday. The more widespread pcpn should occur during the afternoon and evening with the heating of the day. SPC has a slight risk for severe thunderstorms through this evening, with a marginal risk for Saturday afternoon and evening. Large hail and damaging winds are the main risks but a tornado or two is possible with the atmosphere rotating with the upper low overhead. In addition, the storms will be slow moving so heavy rainfall is likely. lows tonight in the lower 60s with highs on Saturday in the mid to upper 70s. .LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Friday) Issued at 310 PM CDT Fri Aug 19 2022 Key Message: 1) Mostly dry weather ahead of us, with seasonal temperatures forecast. Setting up to be a beautiful start to the work week! Discussion... Sunday will be the start of a stretch of beautiful weather for the area. The cut off low will continue to slowly push off to the east, allowing high pressure to filter into the area. While we may see some lingering showers early Sunday morning, those will quickly move out and leave much of the area dry through the day. High pressure will stick around through the first half of the week, with light winds, mostly clear skies, and seasonal temperatures. With high pressure overhead, precipitation chances through the first half of the week will be little to none. Mid to late week, we get under northwest flow, which will put us in a pattern with the chance to get a handful of weak systems that push through. Thus, Wednesday and beyond, we can start to see precipitation chances on the rise. At this time, we aren't seeing any hints at large and widespread rainfall/thunderstorm events through the week. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday evening) Issued at 648 PM CDT Fri Aug 19 2022 Closed upper low will track out of southern MN and into northern IA with scattered showers and thunderstorms across the taf sites tonight through Saturday.
