The episode as NWS DVN wrote it up.
A 62 mph wind gust was measured by the ASOS site at the Quad City Airport in Moline, IL at 325 pm CDT April 18.
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 Apr 18, 1:43 PM CST, 42 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE QUAD CITIES IA IL 243 PM CDT THU APR 18 2013 .SYNOPSIS... ISSUED AT 300 PM CDT THU APR 18 2013 LOW PRESSURE HAS PUSHED NORTHEAST TO NEAR DUBUQUE WITH THE STRONG COLD FRONT FROM THE LOW INTO WESTERN IL AND THEN INTO EASTERN AR. THE BAND OF HEAVY RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS WAS LOCATED FROM SW LOWER MI TO SE MO WHILE SOME LIGHT TO MODERATE SHOWERS WERE PUSHING NORTHWARD ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE DVN CWA. TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE 60S AHEAD OF THE FRONT WITH 40S BEHIND THE FRONT IN THE DVN CWA. ELSEWHERE...TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE 80S FROM THE OHIO VALLEY INTO THE DEEP SOUTH WHILE SNOW WAS FALLING ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE DAKOTAS...NEBRASKA...WESTERN IOWA AND INTO MINNESOTA AND NW WISCONSIN. A LINE OF NARROW SHOWERS FROM EASTERN IOWA INTO WESTERN IL WAS PRODUCING WIND GUSTS TO 45 MPH. && .SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY) ISSUED AT 300 PM CDT THU APR 18 2013 FORECAST FOCUS ON RAIN AND SNOW CHANCES LATER TONIGHT AND FRIDAY. TONIGHT...OPERATIONAL MODELS SIMILAR IN DRY SLOTTING THE CWA FOR MUCH OF TONIGHT AS THE CYCLONE DEEPENS TO 985 MB AND TRACKS TO THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES BY SUNRISE. WRAP AROUND DEFORMATION ZONE MAY BRING IN A LIGHT RAIN/SNOW MIX LATE TONIGHT INTO OUR NORTHWEST CWA. WEST WINDS WILL GUST TO 25 TO 30 MPH. MINIMUM TEMPERATURES WILL DROP INTO THE 30S WITH WIND CHILLS IN THE 20S. FRIDAY...WILL HAVE CHANCE POPS FOR MAINLY A RAIN/SNOW MIX BUT NOT EXPECTING ANY SNOW ACCUMULATION. THE BIGGER STORY WILL BE THE CHILLY WINDY DAY WITH MAXMIMUM TEMPERATURES ONLY IN THE 40S. THIS WILL BE ABOUT 20 DEGREES COLDER THAN NORMAL FOR MID APRIL. WEST WINDS WILL BE GUSTING TO 35 MPH WITH WIND CHILLS IN THE 30S EVEN DURING THE AFTERNOON. .LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY) ISSUED AT 300 PM CDT THU APR 18 2013 THIS FORECAST STAYS VERY CLOSE TO A BLEND OF EXTENDED GUIDANCE AS THE WORKLOAD OF THE CURRENT STORM SYSTEM...AS WELL AS MAJOR FLOODING REQUIRES OUR ATTENTION TO BE MOST FOCUSED ON SHORT TERM SUBJECTS. THE WIND SHOULD BE GRADUALLY DYING DOWN FRIDAY NIGHT...WITH DRY WEATHER LASTING THROUGH MOST OF SATURDAY NIGHT. A WARM ADVECTION EVENT MAY CLIP THE FAR NORTHWEST SATURDAY NIGHT AFTER MIDNIGHT...BUT IT APPEARS THE BETTER FORCING AND SATURATION ARE LIKELY UP IN MINNESOTA. THIS STORM WILL PUSH THE BOUNDARY SOUTHWARD...THEN WILL STALL INTO MIDWEST THROUGH AT LEAST TUESDAY NIGHT. DURING THIS TIME...AT LEAST 2 WAVES OF UPPER ENERGY SHOULD SWEEP THROUGH THE MIDWEST ALONG IT. THIS LEADS TO A SOMEWHAT PROLONGED PERIOD OF POPS...BUT I HAVE DOUBTS THAT ANY MORE THAN ONE WAVE WILL SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT THE CWA WITH RAINFALL. THE ECMWF IS CONSISTENT IN DRAWING IN GULF MOISTURE ON THE LAST WAVE BEFORE THE TROF EXITS THE ROCKIES. THIS MODEL SOLUTION LOOKS REASONABLE AND IS SUPPORTED BY THE GEM AND UKMET. SHOULD IT VERIFY...A 0.25 TO 0.75 RAIN EVENT APPEARS POSSIBLE FOR TUESDAY/TUESDAY NIGHT. TEMPERATURES REMAIN SEASONALLY COOL THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST...WITH LOWS IN THE 30S AND HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 50S. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY AFTERNOON) ISSUED AT 300 PM CDT THU APR 18 2013 IFR CIGS/VIS IN -RA/BR THIS AFTERNOON THEN IFR CIGS TONIGHT AND FRIDAY MORNING. WEST WINDS 15 TO 20 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO 30 KNOTS REMAINDER OF THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY. && .HYDROLOGY... ISSUED AT 300 PM CDT THU APR 18 2013 AREAL FLOOD WARNINGS REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR MOST OF THE CWA IN THE WAKE OF THE WIDESPREAD FLASH FLOODING LAST NIGHT. THESE PRODUCTS ARE IN EFFECT THROUGH MID EVENING AND COVER THE WIDESPREAD CREEK AND LOW AREA FLOODING WHICH CONTINUES TO IMPACT ROADS AND SOME BUILDINGS. THIS WATER WILL CONTINUE TO FLOW TOWARDS TRIBUTARY RIVERS TODAY AND TONIGHT...AND IS THE MAIN CAUSE OF OUR RAPID RIVER RISES. MODERATE TO MAJOR FLOODING IS ONGOING ON MOST TRIBUTARY RIVERS...AND IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE. THE GREEN AND ROCK RIVERS ARE FORECAST NEAR RECORD CRESTS. ON THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER...FLOOD IMPACTS ARE MINOR TO MODERATE FROM DUBUQUE THROUGH LECLAIRE AND MAJOR FROM ROCK ISLAND THROUGH KEOKUK. THE JUMP UP AT MOLINE IS LARGELY DUE TO BOTH THE WAPSIPINCON AND ROCK RIVERS GETTING EXTREMELY HEAVY RAIN AMOUNTS IN THE PAST 36 HOURS. && .DVN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IA...NONE. IL...NONE.
