SIGNIFICANT WEATHER OUTLOOK

401 AM CDT THU JUL 4 2002

...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE TODAY...

A SURFACE FRONT EXTENDED ACROSS IOWA FROM SIOUX CITY...TO AMES...TO
DUBUQUE THIS MORNING. THIS FRONT WILL SAG SLOWLY SOUTH TODAY...
BRINGING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH IT.

AREAS NORTH OF HIGHWAY 30 CAN EXPECT THE GREATEST CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON.  ALONG THE I 80 CORRIDOR...THE
CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE THROUGH LATE MORNING AND
CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING. SOUTH OF THE I 80 CORRIDOR IN WEST
CENTRAL ILLINOIS AND NORTHEAST MISSOURI...THE CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS
WILL OCCUR MAINLY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE EARLY THIS EVENING.
THERE WILL LIKELY BE A LULL IN THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY DURING THE MID
AND LATE EVENING...BEFORE ADDITIONAL STORMS REDEVELOP ALONG THE
COLD FRONT OVER NORTHERN MISSOURI LATE TONIGHT.

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.

IF YOU WILL BE INVOLVED IN OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES TODAY OR TONIGHT...CHECK
THE LATEST WEATHER UPDATE BEFORE HEADING OUT.  REMEMBER THAT EVEN IF
STORMS DO NOT BECOME SEVERE...ALL LIGHTNING IS DANGEROUS.  BE PREPARED
TO TAKE SHELTER IF YOU HEAR THUNDER.

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED TODAY.  HOWEVER...ANY REPORTS OF
THUNDERSTORM INTENSITY AND RAINFALL AMOUNTS WOULD BE VERY MUCH
APPRECIATED.
