AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
800 PM CDT FRI MAY 3 1996

NOT MUCH TIME FOR A DISCUSSION.  SVR WX GOING ON ACROSS SERN SECTIONS
OF CWA.  TRWS ARE RIDING RIGHT ALONG THE DEWPOINT AXIS WITH 60+ DWPTS
TO THE SOUTH AND 45 TO THE NORTH.  SOUTH WINDS CONT TO FEED GOOD
MOISTURE ACROSS QUASI-STNRY FRONT SO EXPECT SOME GOOD OVERUNNING RAINS
ACROSS MOST OF IL.  QUICK LOOK AT SAT SHOWS STORMS OVER SERN IL AND
STORMS IN SERN IA ARE STARTING TO DEVELOP INTO MCS TYPE SYSTEMS.
FAVORABLE THICKNESS TAKES THESE E-SE ACROSS MOST OF CWA.  SO MAY BE
GOOD IDEA TO ADD HVY RAIN TO ALL OF CWA.  FFA STILL LOOKS GOOD FOR SERN
IL GIVEN STORMS ROLLING ACROSS ATTM.
