Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Quad Cities IA IL
112 AM CDT Thu Mar 12 2026

...06z Aviation Update...

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Breezy and warmer Thursday daytime with elevated fire danger.

- Strong winds Thursday night into Friday morning. Gusts to 60
  mph possible in northeast and east central Iowa.

- Spring storm system this weekend brings half to one inch of
  rainfall areawide and potentially a few inches of wet snowfall
  to northeast IA and northwest IL.

- Behind the storm system is seasonably very cold temperatures
  Monday into Tuesday.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Issued at 215 PM CDT Wed Mar 11 2026

A band of snowfall is slowly exiting the area this afternoon
with a changeover being observed on some surface observation
sites of rain mixing in northwest Illinois. After the precip
band exits the region, expect dry conditions tonight. Observed
winds are breezy from the northwest this afternoon and will
stay that way into the early evening hours today. As the
pressure gradient lessens this evening under an eastward moving
high pressure, expect a decrease in the surface wind speeds
tonight to 5-10 mph.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 310 PM CDT Wed Mar 11 2026

By Thursday morning that high pressure ridge axis will be
centered over the Lower Michigan placing the Mississippi River
corridor region under a warm(er) air advection regime.
Temperatures tomorrow daytime are only expected to reach right
near normal though. Low pressure over the Northern Plains will
be moving eastward along the International Border at this time.
An associated warm front lifts through the forecast area
Thursday mid-day to create quickly increasing gusty
southwesterly winds lasting into the evening hours.

The primary moisture pool Thursday daytime will be located well
north into southern Minnesota so this keeps an elevated fire
weather concern over our area. This will be due to that
combination of gusty southwesterly winds and minimum relative
humidity dropping to near-30% for parts of eastern Iowa.

As the cold front approaches the region, a few hour time period
of rain showers brushes through the east-half of Iowa and
northwest Illinois. This will create a quick few hour window for
some light to moderate rain showers over the forecast area, but
rapidly decreasing south of a lien from Warren through Jefferson
counties.

The low pressure entering northwest Wisconsin overnight Thursday
will create an enhance pressure gradient over the Midwest. This
synoptic setup will create gusty winds further aided by strong
cold air advection into the region from the Northern Plains.
Areawide wind gusts of 35 to 45 mph are forecast Thursday night,
with higher gusts to 60 mph possible for northeast IA and parts
of east-central IA. These conditions last into Friday morning
and may affect that morning's commute. For the potential of
downed tree limbs and sporadic power outages, a High Wind Watch
was issued for those counties that have the highest 60 mph wind
chance (60-70% chance) Thursday night into Friday morning. Other
counties may also need future Wind headlines (more likely
towards Advisories) in future forecast packages.

As the low pressure center exits the region Friday late morning,
the strongest winds are forecast to slowly decrease through the
daytime hours...while remaining gusty from the northwest. Dry
weather is very likely Friday afternoon and evening.

By late Friday into early Saturday though, the active weather
pattern may (30-40% chance) return. An approaching warm front
from a rapidly deepening Central Plains low pressure system
begins to create a band of precipitation stretching from
western Illinois into the Northern Plains. This system passes
through the Lower Midwest Saturday afternoon through Sunday.
This spring storm system is very likely (70-80% chance) to bring
at least a 0.25 to 0.50 inches of rainfall to the entire
forecast area this weekend. Ensemble global model guidance even
indicates a 50-60% chance of 1-1.5 inches of liquid equivalent
precipitation north of I-80 by Sunday evening.

This being a spring storm system and the cold air mass that will
be located just to the north of the forecast area keeps a chance
of accumulating snowfall for northeast IA and northwest IL from
late Saturday night into Sunday night. In this time period,
there is a 60-70% chance of at least 2 inches of new snowfall
north of I-80 and 20-40% south of I-80. Looking at the 4"
threshold gives a still 60-70% chance for seeing this moderate
snowfall along the US Hwy 20 corridor, including the city of
Dubuque. If there is any trend even slightly southward with this
storm center location, snowfall amounts could further push even
more southward and/or increase.

By Sunday morning and afternoon, expect another shift of winds
from the east to northerly and gusting at least 30 to 40 mph
again. These winds may coincide with some of the snowfall Sunday
afternoon and evening so will have to be watched for any
visibility impacts from falling snow within these strong winds.

After the spring storm system moves out of the area, early next
week looks to start seasonably very cold...high temperatures
in the 20s (90% chance) and lows in the single digits.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY/...
Issued at 105 AM CDT Thu Mar 12 2026

Quiet VFR overnight and morning for the TAF cycle under passing
high pressure. But then a strong clipper low pressure system
will look to skirt into the heart of the GRT LKS by midday
Friday, bringing strong wind fields wrapping around it. South
to Southwesterly sfc winds will continue to increase and gust to
30 KTs or higher by late afternoon especially on the IA side,
and continue to increase as the evening progresses. A high
mechanical turbulence evening and overnight Thu night as
southwest LLVl jet winds at 2000 FT AGL increase to 50-70 KTs!
Have added LLVL wind shear just for info purposes even as the
sfc wind gusts over 30 KTs. One uncertainty is an incoming band
of light rain possibly mixed with a bit of snow at times, and
what kind of CIGs it will lower too. It may be down to higher
level MVFR at best with the precip, but a few solutions drop a
band of sub-2000 FT AGL stratocu acrs CID and DBQ toward
midnight. Don't expect the light precip to reduce VSBYs much
more that 5-6SM especially if the rain hangs on longer with
less snow.
