SIGNIFICANT WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE QUAD CITIES IA IL
512 AM CDT WED JUN 12 2002

...ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS...

A STATIONARY FRONT WILL LINGER ACROSS THE REGION TODAY...SERVING AS A
FOCUS FOR MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.  STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW SOUTH OF THE
FRONT WILL TRANSPORT WARM...MOIST...UNSTABLE AIR INTO THE AREA.  THESE
THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE SEVERE...MAINLY BECAUSE
TEMPERATURES AT THE SURFACE WILL BE KEPT ON THE COOL SIDE AS A RESULT
OF A MOSTLY CLOUDY SKY.  MOST OF THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY SHOULD BE
SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80.  THE THUNDERSTORMS ARE FORECAST TO MOVE EAST OF
THE AREA BY THURSDAY MORNING.

OF MORE CONCERN THAN SEVERE WEATHER IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT
RAINFALL TO BE GENERATED FROM THESE THUNDERSTORMS.  THUNDERSTORMS
TONIGHT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO MOVE SLOWLY...AND GENERATE AND MOVE
REPEATEDLY OVER THE SAME LOCATIONS. DUE TO RECENT HEAVY RAIN EVENTS...
SOME RIVERS REMAIN IN FLOOD...AND AREA GROUND MOISTURE IS VERY HIGH.
AREA RIVERS...CREEKS AND STREAMS WILL HAVE TO BE WATCHED CAREFULLY
FOR POSSIBLE FLOOD PROBLEMS. OF SPECIAL CONCERN ARE LOCATIONS ALONG AND
SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 34 WHICH RECEIVED HEAVY RAINFALL ON TUESDAY AND
TUESDAY NIGHT.

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NECESSARY THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

EMERGENCY MANAGERS AND EMERGENCY RESPONDERS WHO HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES
ALONG AREA RIVERS THAT ARE IN FLOOD...OR HAVE RECENTLY BEEN IN
FLOOD...SHOULD MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND STATEMENTS FOR UPDATED
INFORMATION CONCERNING THE POTENTIAL FOR POSSIBLE HEAVY RAIN TODAY AND
TONIGHT.
