...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON...

A SURFACE FRONT WILL MOVE INTO NORTHERN IOWA LATE THIS AFTERNOON.  THIS
FRONT WILL PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS...
ESPECIALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF HIGHWAY 30. OTHER SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS OVER NORTHERN MISSOURI COULD WORK THEIR WAY NORTH
INTO SOUTHEAST IOWA AND WEST CENTRAL ILLINOIS THIS AFTERNOON.

SHEAR AND UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT ARE WEAK...AND STORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO
BECOME SEVERE. HOWEVER...MOISTURE IS ADEQUATE AND STORM MOVEMENT WILL BE
SLOW...SO SOME STORMS COULD PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL.

THE FRONT WILL SAG SLOWLY SOUTH THROUGH THURSDAY...STALLING OVER
NORTHERN MISSOURI AND CENTRAL ILLINOIS BY FRIDAY.  WITH THE FRONT IN
THE AREA INTO THE WEEKEND...THERE WILL BE A CONTINUED CHANCE FOR SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY.  CHANCES WILL BE HIGHEST IN THE AFTERNOON
AND EVENING DUE TO DAYTIME HEATING.

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED TODAY.  HOWEVER...ANY REPORTS OF
THUNDERSTORM INTENSITY AND RAINFALL AMOUNTS WOULD BE VERY MUCH
APPRECIATED. PEOPLE WITH OUTDOOR PLANS SHOULD KEEP AN EYE ON THE
WEATHER.
