AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE QUAD CITIES IA IL
935 PM CDT TUE JUL 29 2003

CONVECTION OVER SOUTHERN MN...NORTHWEST IA AND SOUTHEAST SD HAS DIMINISHED
GREATLY IN THE LAST HOUR WITH SATELLITE SHOWING RAPID WARMING
OF CLOUD TOPS. WEAK FORCING...LACK OF LLJ AND LOSS OF HEATING AIDING
IN THE DEMISE. EXPECT SOME DEBRIS CLOUDINESS...BUT OVERALL 
MOSTLY CLEAR SHOULD SUFFICE. WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT HAS ALLOWED WINDS
TO DECOUPLE...BUT EXPECTING 5 KTS OR SO FROM THE SOUTH.
THIS IS A BIT MORE WIND THAN WE SAW THIS MORNING IN WHICH THERE 
WAS WIDESPREAD DENSE FOG IN AREAS THAT HAD RAIN IN THE SOUTHWEST 
2/3RDS OR SO. ENOUGH SUNSHINE TO BAKE THE GROUND AND 
GREATER TEMP/DEWPT SPREADS THAN 24 HRS AGO SHOULD MEAN LESS OF A THREAT
FOR DENSE FOG. STILL THOUGH...EXPECT PATCHY FOG WITH VSBYS IN THE 
RANGE OF 2-6 MI. WILL UPDATE TO REMOVE EVENING SHOWERS AND 
THEN MAKE SOME MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO FOG WORDING AND TEMPS. WILL HAVE 
UPDATE OUT BY 10 PM. 

DVN...
IA...NONE.
IL...NONE.
MO...NONE.
