Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Quad Cities IA IL
634 PM CDT Tue Jun 3 2025

.KEY MESSAGES...

-  Showers and thunderstorms will continue into tonight, while
   shifting eastward in time as a front moves through. Some of
   the storms could become severe through early to mid evening,
   especially near to south of I-80. Swaths of heavy rainfall of
   1-2" are possible. The flooding threat should remain minimal,
   unless an urban area receives repetitive rounds of heavy
   rain.

-  Generally seasonal temps expected for most of the period into
   the weekend, with the next rain chances coming Thursday
   night/Friday and through the weekend (greatest late in the
   weekend) with plenty of dry hours.

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Issued at 217 PM CDT Tue Jun 3 2025

First wave of storms has exited to our northeast and have become
surface based producing damaging winds with an impressive DCAPE
gradient into S WI and NC/NE IL. Attention is now focusing back
to our southwest with the next wave and attendant convection
progressing across KS into NW MO. This activity is expected
to lift and develop further into our area ahead of a cold front
currently sagging into central IA. The vertical wind fields are
robust with deep layer shear of 40-50 kts and CAPE of 1000-2000
j/kg highest near to south/east of the Quad Cities to support
a few severe storms with damaging winds the primary threat.
Low/mid level lapse rates are somewhat marginal, but instability
should continue to build with more cloud breaks/thinning.
Last runs of HRRR and NAMNest and other CAMs support a line of
storms evolving through the area 5-9 PM roughly that will
contain a damaging wind threat especially from QC metro on
south/east. A QLCS tornado threat cannot be ruled out with
0-3km shear of 40-45 kt, particularly with any NE moving
mesovorts. In addition to the severe threat, heavy rain will
be possible with PWAT's surging over 1.5 to near 2 inches. Storms
may not last too long at any one place, but rates easily over
1" per hour could foster plenty of ponding/standing water in low
lying or poorly drained areas and greatly reduced visibility.
Flash flooding would appear to be low, with the greatest concern
being for urban areas should any redevelopment or repetitive storms
occur.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Issued at 217 PM CDT Tue Jun 3 2025

Rain chances will linger Wednesday morning south/east of the
Quad Cities near the 925-850 hPa boundaries. Elsewhere, the
concern will be post-frontal mix down of wild fire smoke that
may allow for a better chance at the smoke to reach the surface
late tonight and Wednesday owing to reductions in visibility
potentially and air quality. On that note the Iowa DNR has
hoisted an Air Quality Alert through 6 AM Thursday for all of
Iowa. Last few runs of the HRRR near surface smoke plots
indicate best chances for higher concentrations of smoke
reaching the surface will be roughly along and north of a line
from Fairfield, Iowa to Sterling/Rock Falls, Illinois.
Otherwise, drier and cooler conditions are on tap by Wednesday
night into Thursday as weak high pressure builds in.

The pattern looks to remain active into the weekend. Initially,
the flow will remain semi-zonal to WSW and will shuttle in
another trough for Friday. NBM and 00z LREF probabilities for
measurable rain late Thursday into Friday are highest south of
I-80 (40-50%). With Gulf moisture remaining well to our south,
rainfall doesn't look to be all that much. We keep some small
PoPs through the weekend, but the better chances appear to be
late in the weekend as the pattern transitions to a Great Lakes
low and northwest flow aloft. Overall, temperatures look to
be seasonal throughout the late week and weekend.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY/...
Issued at 634 PM CDT Tue Jun 3 2025

A cold front is marching in from the west this evening with a line
of strong to severe storms along the boundary. This boundary is
moving at a fairly quick clip and will exit the area between 2-3Z.
On the backside of the line we will still see lingering rain with
ceilings dropping to IFR. These ceilings are expected to improve
west to east after sunrise. By the afternoon winds will switch to
out of the northwest and there may be some smoke at the surface that
will take visibility down to 6 miles or less.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of north central
Illinois...northwest Illinois...west central Illinois...east
central Iowa...northeast Iowa...southeast Iowa and northeast
Missouri.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

Occasional rounds of showers and thunderstorms are likely today and
tonight. The Storm Prediction Center has a Slight Risk (level 2
of 5) for severe storms generally south of Interstate 80. There is
a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 5) across the rest of the Outlook
Area. The main threat will be damaging winds, with an isolated
tornado a secondary concern. An increasingly humid air mass will
support heavy rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches, and isolated
higher amounts are possible. This may produce some urban and small
stream flooding, as well as ponding water in low-lying areas.

The pattern remains active for late in the week with a chance for
sporadic showers and thunderstorms from Thursday afternoon into
Friday. Severe weather is not anticipated at this time.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

The probability for widespread hazardous weather is low.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be needed this afternoon and evening,
especially south of Interstate 80.
