Area forecast discussion, Nov 4, 12:50 AM CDT, 2 hours 1 minute before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Quad Cities IA IL 1250 AM CDT Fri Nov 4 2022 ...06Z AVIATION UPDATE... .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 255 PM CDT Thu Nov 3 2022 This afternoon high clouds were leading to sporadic periods of sun as moisture moved into the area ahead of a longwave trough to our west. Temperatures were in the upper 60s north and the low to mid 70s across the south. Boundary layer moisture also increased as dewpoints were in the 50s today. More WAA and moisture advection is expected through the overnight and into tomorrow as a cold front impinges from the north as a strong wave ejects across the plains and towards us later in the short term. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday) Issued at 255 PM CDT Thu Nov 3 2022 Key messages: 1. Guidance is latching onto slower and more 'west' trend in precip. 2. Position of the cold front tomorrow will be the axis for heavy rain leading up to 00z Saturday. Discussion: Overall momentum fields are in good agreement as far as their overall structure. Timing seems to be different and a slower trend looks like the better solution now. Will need to see if this holds up on later runs and overnight. That said, confidence in heavy rain and threats from heavy rain is high. In the short term, 45 to 55 kt LLJ will begin in earnest tonight. While H85 WAA (little temp change) doesn't look particularly strong, this should help keep us warm and good BL moisture into the area. This LLJ weakens slightly tomorrow before 12z. Then around 15z the LLJ increases back into the area. CAMs have a noticeable uptick in showers and storms at that time as well. This LLJ will continue through the day. Wherever the front is at this time, will be where the heaviest rain is. Currently, this looks to be mainly across our far western CWA. While there are differences in location for this heavy rain axis, guidance is in good agreement of a swath of 1 to 1.5 inches through 00z Sat. Most of this will fall after 18z. As far as a flood threat goes, WPC has the area in a marginal risk for excessive rain. Definitely have lots of moisture with PWATs around 1.5 inches. This is near if not record PWATs for the area according to the SPC sounding climatology. Obviously, this is reflected in the rainfall amounts as well. As far as a flood threat goes, 'any' flash flooding would be due to rates and in an urban area. HREF 3hr max is around two inches across CID tomorrow. FFG has them seeing FF if they get 3 inches in 3 hours. So, it does not look like this is a potential. That said any differences in the thermodynamic profile may lead to stronger thunderstorm updrafts and we could see ponding of water and even isolated flash flooding, if everything comes together. Believe this threat is very low at the current time. More interestingly is the chance for HSLC tornadoes tomorrow. With 0- 3km shear 40-50kts and perpendicular to forecast Z from CAMs, there will be a potential for mesovortexs with any decent updraft. Looking at thermodynamics, this is a limiting factor to a greater threat. Models do have sufficient 0-3km CAPE (50-100 J/kg) for HSLC tors. The GFS and HREF are trending towards a little more SBCAPE. This threat will likely be tied to just the warm side of the cold front, where guidance has pooling Tds in the low 60s. Model soundings in the warm sector have a very weak cap, but more impressively a good 0-1km shear profile. An updraft rooted shallowly would have a lot of shear to work with. This may increase the dynamic pressure perturbation and subsequent updrafts. Wouldn't be surprised to see this threat tied to the AM resurgence of the LLJ. Do not see a high enough threat to add to the HWO at this time. Mainly something that we need to keep an eye on internally through the day tomorrow. .LONG TERM...(Friday night through next Thursday) Issued at 255 PM CDT Thu Nov 3 2022 Friday Night....Mean mass field guidance trends still show large plains upper trof complex axis point to eject out acrs western into central IA as closed neg tilted low by 12z Sat. Leeside 130 to 140 KT upper jet streak still on track to surge up the southeastern plains to northwestern GRT LKs along and west of the CWA thru 06z Sat, then adjusting eastward acrs and east of the area thru Sat morning. This system adding deep lift on it's right entrance to exit region to the east in a seasonably robust warm moist conveyor streaming up off the western Gulf(along with some monsoonal tentacles from the southwest/Mexico still supports the now well advertised heavy rain event Friday night into Sat morning. Much of the moisture shuttle north on 45 to 50+ KT SSW low level jet(LLJ). How far west or east the main convergent focus along a slow moving boundary to where the heaviest rainfall axis will lay out is still somewhat at question, with the latest trends in blends and 12z deterministics shifting the highest QPF(2.5 to 3+ inches)swath a bit westward from along an axis from northwest of Dubuque, to Cedar Rapids, and to near Oskaloosa IA. But the new resolved blend looks to be a county east of that with highest swath, and 2 inch plus line lays out along and west of a line from Galena in NW IL, to Muscatine IA, and to Fairfield IA. These are storm totals thru 18z Saturday. More on precip in paragraph below. Very unseasonable/90th+ percentile PWAT feed of 1.2 to 1.4 inches on average thru Sat morning, with near record bouts of 1.4 to 1.6 inches Friday night streaming up along a slow moving front and being squeezed out by bulk shear values of 40-70 KTs. This forcing may eventually produce swaths of 1 to over 2 inches of additional rainfall after 00z Sat into Sat morning. These linear focus axis's may be rather narrow from late Friday to Sat afternoon, with localized storm total 4+ inches possible by mid Sat morning. The latest thinking prime axis/frontogenesis focus places the heaviest rainfall swath potential along and west of a line from the DBQ to CID, to Sigourney line(already mentioned in above paragraph) along the slow moving frontogenesis axis. This in contrast to some areas in west central IL to near Princeton IL which may get well less than an inch. Even with these high amounts, dry/drought antecedent conditions, rainfall rates and the precip occurring over 24-30 hours all suggest a limited flash flood threat. Would expect more of the ponding and urban/small stream water effects especially near leaf clogged drains. Several tributary rivers will probably experience some good rises, but with so many at very low water levels it should all be within bank. Looking at the strong to severe storm potential Friday night, sfc layer(mixing down to) instability continues to be marginal after dark. This do to saturated LLVLS and multiple shallow inversions that will have to be overcome for any sfc based wind momentum transfer or mixing. But both LLVL and deeper layer/bulk shear profiles still fcst to be strong with 50-70 KT south to southwesterly low to mid level flow. Thus still some potential for an isolated precip loaded/pressure perturbation mix down high wind gust overnight up to 50 KTs. Impossible to say when and where though, and may be hard to tell difference from this mix down gust to an enhanced gradient wind gust especially late Friday night. Saturday...as the upper trof/low axis continues to eject out acrs or just west of the local CWA Saturday somewhat negatively tilted, Associated deepening sfc low on latest blends still dipping down below 990 MB acrs northeastern IA and into central WI by mid Sat morning. Although a bit more progressive on the later model runs, a quick cyclone deepening like this will drive strong southwesterly sfc winds from early Sat morning into at least mid afternoon. Even with limited mixing depth in the morning, such strong winds in the rather shallow layer/45-50 KTs at top of mix potential could produce gusts up to 50 MPH...or higher with some gravity wave enhancement. Thus all this along with some trop fold aid to LLVL potential vorticity could lead to a period of higher end wind advisory criteria gusts Saturday. When to make the call for a headline is the question, with still some time to assess. Several deterministic model runs still dynamically cool portions of the systems def zone precip flank into wet snow not all that far off to the northwest of the DVN CWA Sat morning into early afternoon, with the 12z GFS even clipping the far northwest corner of the CWA with a mix or total switch over. But lower level temps such as 925 MB and boundary layer still appear too warm for much more than a limited mix in these northwest areas and will keep all rain for now. Dry slotting and deepening southwest wake flow has trended quicker will likely end the precip from southwest-to-northeast by midday Sat except maybe for the far northwest still getting clipped by the def zone. Saturday temps trends continue to look non-diurnal for much of the east with 12 hr highs in the 50s to near 60 around 12z in the morning, decreasing in wrap around cool advection from the southwest during the afternoon into widespread 40s. Sunday into next week... Zonal to southwesterly steering flow recharges acrs the mid CONUS in the wake of the Saturday system, making for an initially dry and above normal temp regime at least into the middle part of next week. Precip chances will look to increase Tue into Wed with return flow moisture advection and convergence on any associated warm front as it retreats, but better chances may be setting up west and north. A stronger cold front still looks possible late next week, but low confidence for timing and extent of precip chances with it at this point. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday night) Issued at 1250 AM CDT Fri Nov 4 2022 A cold front, currently situated over central Iowa, will gradually make its way eastward today. Ahead of the front, strong winds aloft will lead to a period of low-level wind shear early this morning. Increasing moisture along the front will support lowering ceilings to MVFR later on this morning, with increasing chances of rain showers. As we go into the afternoon hours today, ceilings are expected to lower further to IFR, especially for the DBQ and CID TAF terminals. Some thunderstorms will be possible in these areas this afternoon, with IFR visibility reductions expected due to heavy rain and fog. && .CLIMATE...
