PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE QUAD CITIES IA IL
747 PM CDT MON APR 27 2026
..HIGHEST WIND GUST REPORTS FROM MONDAY APRIL 27
MOST OF THESE GUSTS OCCURRED IN THE LATE MORNING AND WERE ASSOCIATED
WITH A "WAKE LOW" AND NOT DIRECTLY WITH THUNDERSTORMS. WAKE LOW
PRESSURES SYSTEMS CAN OCCASIONALLY DEVELOP IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE RAIN
SHIELD OF WELL-ORGANIZED THUNDERSTORM COMPLEXES. THESE RESULT IN AN
AREA OF RAPID, SHORT-LASTING PRESSURE FALLS, YIELDING HIGH GUSTS THAT
ARE SOMETIMES GREATER THAN THE THUNDERSTORM-PRODUCED GUSTS, SUCH AS
WAS THE CASE MONDAY MORNING.
OBSERVATIONS ARE COLLECTED FROM A VARIETY OF SOURCES WITH VARYING
EQUIPMENT AND EXPOSURES. WE THANK ALL VOLUNTEER WEATHER OBSERVERS
FOR THEIR DEDICATION. NOT ALL DATA LISTED ARE CONSIDERED OFFICIAL.
