What happened

The episode as NWS DVN wrote it up.

A squall line developed across central Iowa during the overnight hours and moved east. As the squall line entered southeast Iowa, it began to bow out and raced across Jefferson, Henry, Louisa, and Des Moines Counties causing extensive damage. The bow echo crossed the Mississippi River and continued across Henderson, Warren, and Mercer Counties before weakening. The squall line did manage to produce isolated severe damage in Bureau and Putnam Counties in Illinois. The far southern edge of the squall line managed to produce isolated to scattered severe reports across Northeast Missouri, Lee County Iowa, and Hancock and McDonough counties in Illinois. Scattered thunderstorms that developed in the near tropical atmosphere ahead of the squall line produced isolated severe reports.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Quad Cities, IA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 8, 2:20 AM CST, 9 hours 28 minutes earlier.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE QUAD CITIES IA IL
320 AM CDT WED JUN 8 2005

.SYNOPSIS...
ANOTHER LARGE AND STRONG CONVECTIVE COMPLEX NOTED OVER MN AND DAKOTAS
MOVING INTO NW IOWA AT 35 TO 40 MPH.  SYSTEM HAS PRODUCED WIDESPREAD
STRONG WINDS OF 40 TO 70 MPH WITH ISOLATED 80+ MPH. SATELLITE
SUPPORTS RADAR TRENDS OF SYSTEM MOVING FROM MATURE TO SLOW
DISSIPATION STAGE AS WEAKENING PRESSURE RISE/FALL COUPLETS AND SOON
WILL MOVE INTO SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR.  DRY AIR ALOFT FROM SW MAY ALLOW
LATER CONVECTION THIS PM TO REACH SEVERE LEVELS OVER MIDWEST. SURFACE
ANALYSIS AND LATEST UPPER DATA SHOWS ONLY WEAK FORCING FOR LOCAL AREA
WITH BETTER CONVECTION LATE TODAY AND TONIGHT ONCE AGAIN TO WEST.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT) NOWCAST TOOLS SUPPORT TRENDS OF
ALL SOLUTIONS OF NW IOWA CONVECTION TO PASS BETWEEN 15Z AND 22Z (10
AM AND 5 PM).  COULD SEE SOME ISOLATED SEVERE BUT WEAKENING STAGES
AND LIMITED FORCING ATTM SUGGEST WIDESPREAD SEVERE NOT PROBABLE.
HAVE ADJUSTED TEMPS WITH COOLER NW WHERE CLOUDS ARRIVE EARLIER WITH
PRECIPITATION AND UP A BIT IN SE WHERE MORE SUNSHINE.  SADLY...RAIN
AMOUNTS MOST AREA APPEAR SHOULD BE LESS THAN A QUARTER INCH MOST
LOCATIONS WITH ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS IN STRONGER STORMS.  HAVE
UPPED POPS WHERE TIMING APPROPRIATE AS MOST LOCATION TO SEE SOME
MEASURABLE...ALBEIT LIGHT AMOUNTS.  TONIGHT...WENT WITH FORCING BEST
SHOWN BY UKMET/NGM/ECMWF OF ANOTHER MAJOR CONVECTIVE COMPLEX ON 850
FRONT OVER KS INTO MO TO PROPAGATE MAINLY LATE INTO SOUTH AND
SOUTHWEST LOCATIONS WITH MORE LIGHT TO MODERATE AMOUNTS.  ETA/NAM
ONCE AGAIN MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH PLAINS CONVECTION AND SEE NO REASON
THIS TO CHANGE TONIGHT. KEPT TEMPS TONIGHT ON HIGH SIDE WITH CLOUDS
AND HIGH DEWPOINTS/RAIN.  ..NICHOLS..

&&

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)...FOCUS REMAINS ON ACTIVE
PATTERN THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO RULE OUT THUNDERSTORM CHANCES
FROM ANY PERIOD. UPPER PATTERN DOMINATED BY EASTERN RIDGE AND
WESTERN TROUGH CONFIGURATION WITH AN AMPLIFICATION TREND ADVERTISED
BY MODELS LATE WEEK INTO WEEKEND. THIS WILL PLACE FORECAST AREA INTO
MORE ACTIVE PORTION OF SW FLOW FOR BETTER UPPER SUPPORT TO SUSTAIN
MORE ORGANIZED CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES. SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES IN
DETAILS IN POSITIONING OF THE SYNOPTIC FRONT AND QPF MAXIMA CONTINUE
AMONG THE MODELS...ESPECIALLY LATE WEEK...AND BLEND GENERALLY
FOLLOWED.

ON THURSDAY...OVERNIGHT MCS IS ANTICIPATED TO PUSH THE WEAK SYNOPTIC
FRONT SOUTH OF REGION IN THE MORNING...THEN IT REDEVELOPS NORTH OF
AREA BY THU NIGHT IN RESPONSE TO STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL RETURN FLOW
ASSOCIATED WITH NEXT LEE SIDE LOW DEVELOPING OVER SW KS. THIS
BOUNDARY WILL INTRODUCE THE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE THAT HAS BEEN
LACKING THE PAST FEW DAYS. IN ADDITION...CWA WILL BE ON EDGE OF H5
SHORTWAVE TRAIN FOR ADDITIONAL TRIGGER AND UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT.
RAISED POPS INTO 40 TO 50 PERCENT RANGE THU INTO THU NIGHT. WITH ANY
SUNSHINE...TEMPERATURES WILL SHOOT QUICKLY UPWARD AND RAISED MAXES
INTO MID TO UPPER 80S. WITH THE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY AND BOUNDARY
IN AREA...SEVERE POTENTIAL ALSO A CONCERN. FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY...
SURFACE BOUNDARY SHOWN TO HANG UP TO OUR NW PARALLEL TO UPPER SW
FLOW AND H85 THETA E RIDGE REFOCUSES AGAIN TO OUR WEST. GFS
ADVERTISES THE FRONT TO AGAIN PUSH SOUTH ACROSS AREA SATURDAY
NIGHT...BUT CONFIDENCE BELOW AVERAGE IN THIS REGIME THAT FAR OUT.
KEPT CHANCE POPS GOING THROUGH WEEKEND INTO MONDAY...THEN ONLY
SLIGHT CHANCES FOR TUESDAY. ONLY MINOR CHANGES TO TEMPERATURES...
EDGING THEM UPWARD A BIT FRIDAY AS WE GET BACK DEEP INTO WARM
SECTOR. THEN...KEPT TEMPS NEAR OR ABOVE MEX GUIDANCE SAT THROUGH
TUE.

MOVE ACROSS THE REGION BETWEEN 9 AM AND 4 PM.  SOME OF THE STRONGEST
STORMS MAY BE CAPABLE FOR LARGE HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF GOLFBALLS AND
STRONG AND POTENTIALLY DAMAGING WINDS OF 50 TO 70 MPH. THE LOCATION
OF GREATEST RISK IS SOUTHEAST IOWA...WEST OF A DUBUQUE TO KEOKUK
LINE. AT THIS TIME...ANY SEVERE WEATHER SHOULD BE ISOLATED AND NOT BE

DAMAGING WIND AND HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF QUARTERS...ESPECIALLY WITH
THUNDERSTORMS THAT BECOME ORGANIZED INTO LINES. THERE WILL ALSO BE A
RISK OF HEAVY RAINFALL...WHICH MAY LEAD TO LOCALIZED FLOODING WHERE
STORMS IMPACT AREAS ALREADY SATURATED BY REPEATED HEAVY RAIN EVENTS.

FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...CONDITIONS WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR COMPLEXES
OF THUNDERSTORMS TO IMPACT PORTIONS OF THE OUTLOOK AREA EACH
DAY....ESPECIALLY IN THE LATE AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT HOURS. THERE
WILL BE A CONTINUED THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH LARGE
HAIL...DAMAGING WIND...AND HEAVY RAINFALL. IN ADDITION...THERE WILL
BE AN INCREASING RISK FOR LOCALIZED FLOODING WHERE SEVERAL ROUNDS OF
HEAVY RAINFALL IMPACT THE SAME AREA. MORE DETAILED INFORMATION ON
TIMING AND AREAS OF GREATEST RISK WILL BE AVAILABLE AS THIS TIME
