Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Quad Cities IA IL
908 AM CDT Thu Jun 29 2023

.UPDATE...
Issued at 900 AM CDT Thu Jun 29 2023

Latest water vapor and IR satellite loops show MCS progressing
east near the IA/MO border, with storms becoming more organized to
our southwest and moving in a little faster than originally
forecast. Have expanded severe watch 413, two tier of counties
north until 18z. All hazards will be possible, with tornado threat
tied to storm proximity to warm front across southeast IA,
northeast MO, and west central IL.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 241 AM CDT Thu Jun 29 2023

Key Messages:

1. There is an enhanced or level 3 out of 5 risk of severe
thunderstorms today across eastern Iowa into western Illinois. The
main threats are damaging winds and large hail.

2. Wildfire smoke and haze will diminish through the day.

3. High temperatures were lowered for today due to the threat of
storms.

Discussion:

At 2 AM, a warm front was draped across northern Missouri then it
turns southeastward across far eastern Missouri and into the
lower Mississippi Valley. Scattered showers and storms have
developed across southern Wisconsin into northern Illinois.
Temperatures at 2 AM ranged from the upper 60s to lower 70s.
Dewpoints were in the 60s across the area. Further to the west
across western Nebraska, a potential Mesoscale Convective System
(MCS) is developing early this morning along the theta gradient
across the Plains and along +14*C isotherm at 700 MB.

The forecast revolves largely around the potential for the MCS
across the Plains to move eastward along the 700 MB +14*C cap across
the Plains this would track across southern Iowa or northern
Missouri later this morning into the afternoon. Timing remains a
concern given its current slower speed. Some models time this
system into the area mid morning and exiting by mid afternoon. A
distance/timing tool on the current speed moves it into the area
during the early afternoon and exiting during the early evening.
Models soundings have been showing elevated CAPE across the area
with very large CAPE values profiles this afternoon especially
across southern Iowa. The main threat area is forecast to be along
and south of Interstate 80. The potential exits for damaging
winds if a mature MCS develops along with a tornado or two. Based
on the soundings, there is also the risk of large hail with any
elevated storms that develop ahead of the MCS.

Due to the potential precipitation shield and clouds associated
with this storm system, high temperatures for today were reduced
by several degrees. Have high temperatures in the mid to upper 80s
across the area today. These may need to be further adjusted
lower. Additionally, smoke and haze is forecast to clear today as
winds turn to the west.

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 241 AM CDT Thu Jun 29 2023

Key Message

1. Low confidence placement of QPF continues into the weekend, in an
otherwise active pattern, where the zonal flow transitions to a
temporarily cut off mid level low pressure.

The 00z model suite has remained consistent in showing the Friday
night through Sunday period with the highest pops within the
forecast. This is probably the best period to look at for widespread
QPF within our forecast, as the forcing is slower moving, and it
appears that there will be little capping in that period with the
upper low position near Iowa. Highs remain rather warm, and those
temperatures may be a bit too bullish, but highs in the mid- upper
80s to near 90 are forecast Friday and Saturday, with cooler highs
under cloud cover Sunday (70s-80s).

Looking at early to mid week including the 4th of July, a return to
warm readings in the upper 80s to low 90s is anticipated, with a low
chance for showers and thunderstorms.

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Friday morning)
Issued at 549 AM CDT Thu Jun 29 2023

MVFR to IFR visibilities are forecast this morning with
visibilties between 1 to 3 miles as persistent smoke and haze
remain across the area. A cluster of thunderstorms currently
moving into eastern Nebraska, northwest Missouri and far southwest
Iowa is forecast to move eastward across the area late this
morning and through the afternoon. There is still the possibilty
that these storms may stay to our south or at least south of KCID
and KDBQ. MVFR to IFR visibilties are possible in the strongest
showers and storms. In the wake of these storms, expect VFR
conditions to prevail.
