Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Quad Cities IA IL
232 PM CDT Mon Jun 6 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 230 PM CDT Mon Jun 6 2022

A cold front extended from southern WI to southern NE with
warm/moist airmass ahead of the front. SBCAPES were 2500 J/kg with
bulk shear 20-25 kts (weak).

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Tuesday)
ISSUED AT 230 PM CDT Mon Jun 6 2022

Tonight: At least scattered (or clusters) of showers and
thunderstorms this afternoon into this evening, ahead of a cold
front gradually moving southeast across the cwa. SPC has a
marginal risk for severe storms in portions of the cwa with the
main risk locally damaging wind and possible hail. By midnight the
cwa should be rain-free as the front departs to the east. Drier
air will filter into the area on north winds, so lows tonight will
drop into the mid to upper 50s north to the lower 60s south.

Tuesday: In-between storm systems with a delightful day with
comfortable humidity and pleasantly warm temperatures. Highs will
be mainly in the mid to upper 70s with partly to mostly sunny skies.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday Night through Monday)
ISSUED AT 230 PM CDT Mon Jun 6 2022

Tuesday Night and Wednesday

A shortwave dropping in from the NW will lead to another round of
scattered showers and isolated storms Tuesday night into Wednesday.
This system is progressive, so do not anticipate widespread heavy
rainfall although some areas could pick up 0.50" - 1" in the
heaviest bands. High temps will stay in the 70s.

Thursday into the Weekend

The next period of downward motion and high pressure should arrive
by Wednesday night, and last through Thursday.  Highs should make
another run at the lower 80s for Thursday, before, you guess
it!...more rain arrives Thursday night through Friday. This fast
moving flow aloft should keep us from building large amounts of CAPE
in the region, but stronger than normal dynamics for June should
certainly be capable of drawing moisture quickly north over the
Midwest, and this looks like another period of 50-70%+ NBM pops
rainfall.  Though the model averages support this high pop threat,
it's worth noting that the EC is much farther south with this wave
of low pressure, but will continue using NBM rain chances for now.

Temperatures late this week appear favored to remain below normal,
with mainly mid 70s to lower 80s. Then near to above normal
temperatures are possible into early next week.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday Afternoon)
ISSUED AT 1247 PM CDT Mon Jun 6 2022

Most areas will see VFR conds but scattered showers and
thunderstorms can be expected this afternoon into early this
evening. MVFR/lcl IFR conds in the pcpn. This is ahead of a cold
front that will move across later this afternoon and evening.
Southwest winds will become north to northeast with the passsage
of the front. VFR conds will then return overnight into Tuesday as
weak high pressure builds into the area.
