SIGNIFICANT WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE QUAD CITIES IA IL
452 AM CDT FRI AUG 2 2002

THE COLD FRONT THAT PUSHED ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY LAST
NIGHT...WAS LOCATED WELL SOUTH AND EAST OF OUR FORECAST AREA FRIDAY
MORNING.  SEVERE WEATHER DID NOT MATERIALIZE AS EXPECTED IN OUR
FORECAST AREA DUE TO EXTREMELY WARM TEMPERATURES ALOFT YESTERDAY
EVENING...WHICH ACTED AS A CAP...AND SUPPRESSED THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT.  COOLER TEMPERATURES AND LESS HUMIDITY WILL BE NOTED
ACROSS THE MIDWEST TODAY.

NO SEVERE WEATHER IS ANTICIPATED TODAY ACROSS OUR WARNING AND
FORECAST AREA.  SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED TODAY OR
TONIGHT.

LOOKING AHEAD THROUGH THE WEEKEND...LOOK FOR WARM AIR ADVECTION TO
MAKE A RETURN LATE SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY.  AT THIS TIME EXPECT
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ON THE NOSE OF A LOW LEVEL JET...ESPECIALLY
ALONG AND NORTH OF HIGHWAY 20 SATURDAY NIGHT.  A FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN
THIS REGION WILL HELP PROVIDE UPWARD MOTION FOR THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT. WITH THE AIRMASS SOUTH OF THIS BOUNDARY HEATING UP...AND
WITH DEW POINTS FORECAST TO CLIMB BACK INTO THE LOW 70S...EXPECT MUCH
OF OUR FORECAST AREA TO BECOME UNSTABLE ON SUNDAY WITH THUNDERSTORMS.
