AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE QUAD CITIES IA IL 304 PM CDT SUN JUL 28 2002 CLOUDS AND SOME PRECIP HUNG AROUND LONGER THAN FORECAST PUTTING A DAMPER ON THE HEAT FOR TODAY. SOME AREAS MAY JUST REACH ADVISORY CRITERIA BUT CURRENT THOUGHTS ARE TO DROP ADVISORY FOR TONIGHT. WILL MONITOR AND MAKE A LAST MINUTE DECISION. AVN APPEARS TO INITIALLY HANDLE MAIN FEATURES PRETTY WELL. BASED ON THAT PREMISE AVN DEVELOPS MCS THAT GOES ACROSS SOUTHERN MINNESOTA TONIGHT AND POSSIBLY ANOTHER ACROSS MISSOURI. CURRENT DATA INDICATES THAT THE MINNESOTA MCS WILL HAPPEN. THAT WOULD LEAVE AREA IN THE MIDDLE WITH SOME PRECIP BUT NOT MUCH. BETTER FORCING IS ALSO NORTH/SOUTH OF CWFA. COLD FRONT TO MOVE THROUGH DURING THE MORNING WITH MOST OF THE AREA CLEARING OUT DURING THE AFTERNOON (ALA SATURDAY). QUIET WX THEN FOR MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. EXTENDED STARTS OUT QUIET ON WEDNESDAY WITH ANOTHER FRONT MOVING THROUGH ON THURSDAY. AVN HAS NICE THETA E RIDGE AND FORCING ALONG FRONT WHICH WOULD SUGGEST HIGH CHANCE OR LIKELY POPS. FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY THEN TURN QUIET AGAIN. MAV/FWC ARE SIMILAR ON TEMPS WITH MAV BEING COOLER ON THE MAXES. MINS TONIGHT MAY BE ON THE LOW SIDE GIVEN CURRENT MID AND UPPER 70 DEW POINTS ACROSS THE AREA. COORDINATED WITH DSM AND LSE. .DVN... IA...NONE. IL...NONE. MO...NONE. 86
