Widespread 50s and 60s can be expected through Thursday, with strong support of 70+ for Friday. - Low chances for rainfall today, except for our southern counties where showers are more likely. This is true again tonight, with rains mainly south. - Showers and thunderstorms continue to be possible daily through Friday. - Friday continues to have some support for strong thunderstorms. && .SHORT TERM /THROUGH TODAY/... Issued at 207 AM CST Tue Mar 3 2026 Extensive stratus, with some southern fog mixed in, and a few spotty showers continue to be found over the entire area early this morning. Temperatures are hovering in the upper 30s to low 40s, with no threat for freezing precipitation. Like yesterday, we're going to be dealing with cloud cover north of the warm front today, limiting high temperatures to the 40s. Dry weather appears to be on tap for most areas north of Highway 34 today, as the warm front and convergence (noted by fog) is over Missouri. This front is not expected to move much today, thus limiting rainfall to our southern counties through most of tonight. && .LONG TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... Issued at 207 AM CST Tue Mar 3 2026 There is a decent signal for showers and thunderstorms along and just north of this front in our south, especially tonight. In that time frame, MU CAPE over 500 is feed into an west to east elevated warm front, resulting in some training/repeating of showers and storms near our southern counties. PWAT values near 1 inch certainly will allow for some heavy downpours in this activity tonight. Unfortunately for those looking for rains farther north, this front is not expected to be as productive as it lifts north Wed/Thu, but there will be a decent chance for showers and some storms in that process. Probabilities for 0.25" or more remain well above 80% for the next 3 days combined, but 1"+ totals are now under 40% for all but our extreme southern counties on the latest NBM data set. Within this time frame, the best support for storms/widespread rain will be Wednesday night and Thursday morning a strong short wave lifts northeast over the area. Mild conditions remain forecast by the NBM, with strong support for 50s and lower 60s Wednesday and Thursday, despite potential for clouds and rainfall nearby. Friday continues to be warmest day, with strong southerly flow, as the upper flow becomes more amplified. Thankfully, it appears that increasing humidity should offset the fire risk that day. Looking towards the storm risk Friday, there is now considerable spread in operational guidance for that period, showing a strong cold fropa on late Friday night, vs earlier in previous runs. The low pressure center is generally forecast to move northwest of our CWA in that time frame as well. This will leave us in a warm sector into Friday night, and with that our forecast with very high pops seems destined to be lowered, at least during the day Friday, and possibility until late Friday evening, when the front arrives from the west. Strong thunder seems quite possible, though unfavorable timing is currently forecast. The threat for severe storms is primarily driven by strong winds aloft, and a robust warm sector/CAPE. This front should be east of the area by Saturday, with any rains ending early in the day. Though the new SPC extended forecast is not out until around 4 AM, we're thinking there will still be a threat outlined by them. Beyond this system, mild air remains in the Midwest! Highs in the 60s are forecast for Sunday through Monday, with possible low 70s again by Tuesday. If rains do fall as forecast in the next several days, this could lead to an early green-up. && .AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY/... Issued at 1100 AM CST Tue Mar 3 2026 IFR/MVFR conditions will gradually improve from north to south this afternoon/early evening at all terminals except BRL. A warm front across MO will keep low clouds and subsequent rain chances along the IA/MO border through the evening before lifting slightly north overnight. IFR conditions will quickly return at BRL, with the bulk of the rain remaining to the south of the terminal. Still enough of a signal to maintain PROB30 wording overnight with this issuance. A midlevel shortwave will track east across the central Plains late in the period, bringing more low clouds and rain chances primarily south of I-80. && .DVN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IA...None.

Issued at 501 AM CST Tue Mar 3 2026 We will remain blanketed in low clouds through much of the day, with cigs ranging from LIFR in our south to MVFR north. BRL will see the worst of the cigs, hovering around 500 ft with some mist/drizzle resulting in brief vis reductions as well. After 18z, we will start to see cigs lift from north-south. VFR conditions will prevail at all TAF sites except BRL after 00z this evening. BRL will remain in the zone of periodic showers/storms, which will keep cigs around 1000-1500 ft into tonight, with showers reducing vis as well. Confidence in the location of showers/storms remains uncertain. Thus, opted to message this under a PROB30 group. Otherwise, confidence on precipitation chances at the remaining terminals is low at this time. Winds will start the TAF period light and easterly, shifting northeasterly after 18z. && .DVN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IA...None. IL...None.

Some diurnal improvement like today, is expected again this afternoon, but a drop in cigs can again be expected after sunset Tuesday night. Rainfall will be rather light, with the vast number of hours dry. There is a low chance for a brief shower early in the period in northeast Iowa, followed by some light showers brushing through far southeast Iowa this morning after 12Z. Tuesday evening and overnight, shower and a few storms are possible near the Missouri border. TAFs however will be mainly dry, as this activity is not anticipated to move over any of the sites, though Tuesday night's activity will be not too far south of BRL. && .DVN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Widespread 50s and 60s can be expected by week's end, with 70s not out of question for some on Friday. - Daily chances for precipitation will be seen Tuesday and beyond, with the highest chances holding off until late in the week. Thunderstorm chances also increase through the second half of the week. && .SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Issued at 130 PM CST Mon Mar 2 2026 GOES satellite imagery shows widespread stratus across Iowa and Illinois, gradually working to the north/northeast. The clouds have not made it to portions of NW Illinois as of the early afternoon, but should continue to overspread the entire area later this afternoon into this evening. The 18Z DVN sounding showed low-level moisture trapped beneath a sharp temperature inversion around ~950mb, and with little boundary layer mixing the low clouds are expected to remain over the area into Tuesday. A weak mid-level impulse, embedded within zonal flow aloft, is forecast to traverse the area tonight. This could help to generate a few light rain showers or some patchy light rain or drizzle with the highest chances south of I-80 (50-80%). Overall though, rainfall amounts are expected to be light with most locations picking up a trace to only a few hundredths. South of Highway 34, some areas could receive near a tenth of an inch. The stratus tonight will act to hold up temperatures mainly above freezing with mid 30s most common for lows. Areas north of Highway 20 could briefly drop to near freezing so there is a slight chance (<20%) for patchy/light freezing drizzle in this area late tonight into early Tuesday morning (after midnight through 6 AM). Overall this is a low confidence scenario and little to no impacts are anticipated at this time. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... Issued at 130 PM CST Mon Mar 2 2026 Tuesday and beyond, upper level flow transitions from brief zonal flow to southwesterly. This pattern change will allow temperatures to increase throughout the area for the remainder of the week, bringing temperatures well above seasonal norms. We will also see a stark increase in moisture, which will allow for near daily chances for precipitation. The first of these precipitation chances comes in Tuesday/Tuesday night, as the first wave in this active pattern moves through. A baroclinic zone will remain draped over/near the area, which will serve as a focal point for the axis of heaviest precipitation. Models are now less aggressive on the northward extent of the steadier rain through Tuesday night, keeping most of it south of I-80. Highest precipitation probs are well south of Interstate 80 (60-80% PoPs), with lower probs north (10-30% PoPs). Rainfall amounts through Wednesday have trended lower with the NBM showing a 40-60% chance for 0.50"+ along and south of Highway 34 and much lower probs for I-80 and north (10-30%). A lot of similar weather will be seen through the second half of the week, with temperatures continuing to trend upwards. We will see widespread 50s and 60s by the end of the week. There remains some uncertainty on how high our temperatures get, owing to dense cloud cover and persistent rainfall. Either way, we will still be well above seasonal norms. As we progress through the week, we will see the pattern become more amplified, shunting the baroclinic zone farther north. Thus, we will see precipitation probabilities increase northward each day through the week, favorable for widespread rainfall potential. Through the second half of the week, the more amplified pattern will also allow for some instability to build over the area. Thus, thunderstorm probabilities will increase, with stronger forcing also favoring the potential. With such a pattern, deep layer shear will also increase through the week. Thus, wouldn't be shocked if we start to see some stronger storms as the week progresses. Looking at CSU severe weather probabilities, the overall threat for severe seems low (<15% chances), but non- zero. Thus, will have to keep an eye on the extended, as the SPC is also hinting at severe potential extending northward, bringing the Day 5 15% chance of severe northwards to just near our southern border. While the week is going to be gloomy with persistent precipitation chances, the rain will not fall all at once. Thus, totals aren't expected to add up quickly. In the end, right now we are not seeing any flooding concerns, owing to below normal soil moisture and thawed grounds. This active pattern looks to attempt to breakdown into the upcoming weekend. Temperatures will remain above normal through the weekend as well. && .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z WEDNESDAY/... Issued at 1119 PM CST Mon Mar 2 2026 Extensive cloud cover, mainly MVFR stratus will persist over the area through the next 24 hours, and likely well beyond that as a warm front remains stationed south of Iowa, and low clouds will spread over the region, at times, lowering to IFR levels, especially in southeast Iowa and west central Illinois. Some diurnal improvement like today, is expected again this afternoon, but a drop in cigs can again be expected after sunset Tuesday night. Rainfall will be rather light, with the vast number of hours dry. There is a low chance for a brief shower early in the period in northeast Iowa, followed by some light showers brushing through far southeast Iowa this morning after 12Z. Tuesday evening and overnight, shower and a few storms are possible near the Missouri border. TAFs however will be mainly dry, as this activity is not anticipated to move over any of the sites, though Tuesday night's activity will be not too far south of BRL. && .DVN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Issued at 550 PM CST Mon Mar 2 2026 A rather challenging TAF period especially late tonight into Tue morning with respect to changing categories due to lowering clouds and precip trying to move north acrs the TAF sites. Even this evening there is some varying MVFR to VFR CIGs, and then top-down saturation and moisture from the south tries to build north reducing CIGs and producing at least light rain and drizzle after midnight and especially toward sunrise Tue morning. The precip may have trouble spreading north of I-80, but a secondary band may close in on CID and DBQ by mid Tue morning. Early Tue morning with light/variable winds, the increased saturation and even a few breaks from the east, may also foster at least some MVFR fog in areas especially south of I-80. Could see a scenario of fog and drizzle through at least mid Tue morning, along with patchy light rain here and there. MVFR clouds could linger all day through the end of the TAF cycle. Sfc winds will be generally light with some type of easterly component for much of the period. && .DVN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IA...None. IL...None.

Widespread 50s and 60s can be expected by week's end, with 70s not out of question for some on Friday. - Daily chances for precipitation will be seen Tuesday and beyond, with the highest chances holding off until late in the week. Thunderstorm chances also increase through the second half of the week. && .SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Issued at 130 PM CST Mon Mar 2 2026 GOES satellite imagery shows widespread stratus across Iowa and Illinois, gradually working to the north/northeast. The clouds have not made it to portions of NW Illinois as of the early afternoon, but should continue to overspread the entire area later this afternoon into this evening. The 18Z DVN sounding showed low-level moisture trapped beneath a sharp temperature inversion around ~950mb, and with little boundary layer mixing the low clouds are expected to remain over the area into Tuesday. A weak mid-level impulse, embedded within zonal flow aloft, is forecast to traverse the area tonight. This could help to generate a few light rain showers or some patchy light rain or drizzle with the highest chances south of I-80 (50-80%). Overall though, rainfall amounts are expected to be light with most locations picking up a trace to only a few hundredths. South of Highway 34, some areas could receive near a tenth of an inch. The stratus tonight will act to hold up temperatures mainly above freezing with mid 30s most common for lows. Areas north of Highway 20 could briefly drop to near freezing so there is a slight chance (<20%) for patchy/light freezing drizzle in this area late tonight into early Tuesday morning (after midnight through 6 AM). Overall this is a low confidence scenario and little to no impacts are anticipated at this time. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... Issued at 130 PM CST Mon Mar 2 2026 Tuesday and beyond, upper level flow transitions from brief zonal flow to southwesterly. This pattern change will allow temperatures to increase throughout the area for the remainder of the week, bringing temperatures well above seasonal norms. We will also see a stark increase in moisture, which will allow for near daily chances for precipitation. The first of these precipitation chances comes in Tuesday/Tuesday night, as the first wave in this active pattern moves through. A baroclinic zone will remain draped over/near the area, which will serve as a focal point for the axis of heaviest precipitation. Models are now less aggressive on the northward extent of the steadier rain through Tuesday night, keeping most of it south of I-80. Highest precipitation probs are well south of Interstate 80 (60-80% PoPs), with lower probs north (10-30% PoPs). Rainfall amounts through Wednesday have trended lower with the NBM showing a 40-60% chance for 0.50"+ along and south of Highway 34 and much lower probs for I-80 and north (10-30%). A lot of similar weather will be seen through the second half of the week, with temperatures continuing to trend upwards. We will see widespread 50s and 60s by the end of the week. There remains some uncertainty on how high our temperatures get, owing to dense cloud cover and persistent rainfall. Either way, we will still be well above seasonal norms. As we progress through the week, we will see the pattern become more amplified, shunting the baroclinic zone farther north. Thus, we will see precipitation probabilities increase northward each day through the week, favorable for widespread rainfall potential. Through the second half of the week, the more amplified pattern will also allow for some instability to build over the area. Thus, thunderstorm probabilities will increase, with stronger forcing also favoring the potential. With such a pattern, deep layer shear will also increase through the week. Thus, wouldn't be shocked if we start to see some stronger storms as the week progresses. Looking at CSU severe weather probabilities, the overall threat for severe seems low (<15% chances), but non- zero. Thus, will have to keep an eye on the extended, as the SPC is also hinting at severe potential extending northward, bringing the Day 5 15% chance of severe northwards to just near our southern border. While the week is going to be gloomy with persistent precipitation chances, the rain will not fall all at once. Thus, totals aren't expected to add up quickly. In the end, right now we are not seeing any flooding concerns, owing to below normal soil moisture and thawed grounds. This active pattern looks to attempt to breakdown into the upcoming weekend. Temperatures will remain above normal through the weekend as well. && .AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY/... Issued at 1150 AM CST Mon Mar 2 2026 Low-level moisture advection from the S/SE has led to widespread low cloud cover across eastern Iowa and northwest Illinois today which is expected to last through tonight into Tuesday. Expect mainly MVFR ceilings today and then a decrease in ceiling heights tonight, leading to periods of IFR with highest confidence at BRL and CID. MLI and DBQ may be close to the MVFR/IFR threshold Tuesday AM. A few showers or corridors of patchy light rain are possible Tuesday morning but have low confidence on coverage so only have a PROB30 at BRL for now. && .DVN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Thunderstorm chances also increase through the second half of the week. && .SHORT TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Issued at 222 AM CST Mon Mar 2 2026 Surface high pressure continues to slide east of the Great Lakes, with surface winds shifting southeasterly through the day. Overall, today will be a seasonally pleasant day for most. Low clouds will remain draped over the area today, with locations north of Interstate 80 seeing the best chance for some sun to break through. Today, we will also see increasing warm advection through the day, with temperatures increasing into the 40s throughout. Again, we saw temperatures trend upwards since the last forecast package, with a larger area of mid-upper 40s. Increasing cloud cover may lead to temperature forecast challenges today though. Otherwise, we have a dry forecast ahead of us today. Tonight, a subtle wave will pass north of the area, bringing along low-end PoPs largely to areas north of Interstate 80. Surface temperatures will cool to near 30 in our north, and remain in the mid 30s south. LLVL thermal profiles will largely support primary precipitation type as drizzle to light rain. Although, areas along Highway 20 will have borderline thermal profiles, with some CAMs supporting freezing drizzle. The consensus points to slightly milder LLVL temperature profiles, keeping it as rain, but there will be a non-zero chance for a brief period of freezing drizzle. The timeframe that would support freezing drizzle would be between midnight and 6AM, with warming temperatures Tuesday morning putting an end to it. While confidence in freezing rain chances is low, it is worth a mention because it may occur near the Tuesday AM commute. Thus, keep this in mind and drive with added caution late tonight into Tuesday morning. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...

The first of these precipitation chances comes in Tuesday, as the first wave in this active pattern moves through. A baroclinic zone will remain draped over/near the area, which will serve as a focal point for the axis of heaviest precipitation. Currently, much of guidance keeps this precipitation axis along and south of the Highway 34 corridor through much of Tuesday, slowly working its way north through the day. One thing to note is that this axis has been trending slightly south over the last couple of forecast packages, hinting that areas north of Interstate 80 might not see much if any precipitation through much of the day Tuesday. Thus, highest precipitation probs remain along/south of Interstate 80 (60-90% PoPs), with lower probs north (40-60% PoPs). In either case, it looks to be a gloomy and cloudy day throughout. Overall, this looks to be a persistent and long duration light rain through Tuesday. Thus, we are not expecting heavy rainfall, nor high totals. Currently, we are looking at about 0.25" or less north of Interstate 80, 0.25-0.50"+ between I-80 and Highway 34, then 0.50"+ south of HWY34 with highest chances for 1.00"+ (20-30%) roughly along and south of a line from Memphis MO to Macomb IL. A lot of similar weather will be seen through the second half of the week, with temperatures continuing to trend upwards. We will see widespread 50s and 60s by the end of the week.

While the week is going to be gloomy with persistent precipitation chances, much of this should fall as light rain. Thus, totals aren't expected to add up quickly. When all is said and done, WPC indicates rainfall totals generally between 1.00-2.00". The upper part of that range is most likely for areas south of Interstate 80, owing to much of that rainfall falling in the Tuesday/Wednesday timeframe. In the end, right now we are not seeing any flooding concerns, owing to below normal soil moisture and thawed grounds. Thus, a much needed soaking rainfall will be seen throughout. This active pattern looks to attempt to breakdown over the weekend, but not completely. Thus, we may have some more dry time between systems.

Overall, this looks to be a persistent and long duration light rain through Tuesday. Thus, we are not expecting heavy rainfall, nor high totals. Currently, we are looking at about 0.25" or less north of Interstate 80, 0.25-0.50"+ between I-80 and Highway 34, then 0.50"+ south of HWY34 with highest chances for 1.00"+ (20-30%) roughly along and south of a line from Memphis MO to Macomb IL. A lot of similar weather will be seen through the second half of the week, with temperatures continuing to trend upwards. We will see widespread 50s and 60s by the end of the week. There remains some uncertainty on how high our temperatures get, owing to dense cloud cover and persistent rainfall. Either way, we will still be well above seasonal norms. As we progress through the week, we will see the pattern become more amplified, shunting the baroclinic zone farther north. Thus, we will see precipitation probabilities increase northward each day through the week, favorable for widespread rainfall potential. Through the second half of the week, the more amplified pattern will also allow for some instability to build over the area. Thus, thunderstorm probabilities will increase, with stronger forcing also favoring the potential. With such a pattern, deep layer shear will also increase through the week. Thus, wouldn't be shocked if we start to see some stronger storms as the week progresses. Looking at CSU severe weather probabilities, the overall threat for severe seems low (<15% chances), but non-zero. Thus, will have to keep an eye on the extended, as the SPC is also hinting at severe potential extending northward, bringing the Day 5 15% chance of severe northwards to just near our southern border. While the week is going to be gloomy with persistent precipitation chances, much of this should fall as light rain. Thus, totals aren't expected to add up quickly. When all is said and done, WPC indicates rainfall totals generally between 1.00-2.00". The upper part of that range is most likely for areas south of Interstate 80, owing to much of that rainfall falling in the Tuesday/Wednesday timeframe. In the end, right now we are not seeing any flooding concerns, owing to below normal soil moisture and thawed grounds. Thus, a much needed soaking rainfall will be seen throughout. This active pattern looks to attempt to breakdown over the weekend, but not completely. Thus, we may have some more dry time between systems. Temperatures will remain above normal through the weekend as well. && .AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z TUESDAY/...

Accumulations will largely remain less than an inch. - Temperatures will trend well above normal through the week, increasing daily throughout. By the end of the week, widespread 50s and 60s can be expected. - After Monday, widespread daily chances for rain will be seen, with thunderstorms also possible. While there will be some dry moments seen each day, we will remain gloomy and damp through most of the week. Have umbrellas handy! && .SHORT TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/... Issued at 200 PM CST Sun Mar 1 2026 As high pressure slides into the eastern Great Lakes tonight, a shortwave trough embedded within west-northwest flow aloft will track through the Central Plains into Missouri and southern Illinois. This path will keep most of the steady precipitation to the south of our outlook area. The exception will be for areas south of Highway 34 where light precipitation, generally under a tenth of an inch (liquid equivalent) is possible. Thermal profiles support snow as the dominant p-type overnight and with surface air temps falling to around freezing, minor accumulations of a dusting to less than 1 inch are possible mainly across the southern tier of counties and even more so favored near our southern border area. Warm antecedent conditions should result in mainly wet pavement with limited impacts anticipated. The latest HREF mean snowfall accumulations show the 1"+ contour remaining slightly south of the outlook area, which is a shift to the south from the previous run; and NBM probs for 1"+ are <20% near the southern border of the outlook area. For Monday, temperatures will warm into the mid/upper 40s and dry conditions are expected. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... Issued at 200 PM CST Sun Mar 1 2026 A transition to southwesterly flow midweek will support an active weather pattern. Multiple chances for precipitation are possible, with a warm thermal profile favoring rain as the primary precipitation type. A band of low level warm advection will support increasing temperatures and light precipitation Monday night into much of the day Tuesday. Temps are expected to rise into the mid 40s north to low 50s south with the southerly flow and WAA. Light precipitation is expected across much of the region, with the greatest PoPs along and south of Interstate 80 (70-90%). North of Interstate 80, PoPs lower to 40-70% as uncertainty remains in how far north the system will push. There is a chance for non-severe thunderstorms as well. Additional precipitation is expected Wednesday and Thursday as an upper level wave and associated surface low pass through the midwest. While uncertainty remains in the forecast track of the low, ensemble and deterministic guidance suggests that much of our area will see additional precipitation with this system. Potential of up to 0.5 inches of rain or more are possible, with 48-hour exceedance probabilities ranging from 50-70% north to south. Looking towards the end of the week, precipitation chances will continue as another system moves through the region Friday. Models are in agreement that precipitation will cover much of our CWA, with PoPs ranging from 70- 80%. With southerly flow present for much of the week, temperatures will continue to rise into the 50s in the north and 60s in the south Wednesday and Thursday. Temperatures on Friday could potentially reach into the 60s to low 70s, though the persistent cloud cover could temper highs. After multiple precipitation chances, Saturday looks to be drier as Friday's system moves out of the region, bringing slightly cooler but still above normal temperatures. && .AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/... Issued at 1115 AM CST Sun Mar 1 2026 VFR to prevail through the period with steady easterly winds between 5 to 15 kts. Low cloud cover will increase tonight into Monday morning at BRL with some potential (30-50%) for MVFR ceilings late in the period. && .DVN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IA...None. IL...None.
