AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
250 PM CDT WED AUG 23 2000

FCST CHALLENGE WILL BE PRECIP TONIGHT.  WITH FRONTAL BNDRY SITTING
ACRS NRN CWA AND PLENTY OF LOW LVL MSTR TO THE SOUTH...TSTMS SEEM TO
BE A GOOD BET.  THE PROBLEM COMES FROM JUST WHERE IT WILL INITIATE.
NO LOW LEVEL FORCING BULLSEYES TO MAKE LIFE EASY...SO WILL HAVE TO
GO WITH CURRENT CONVECTIVE TRENDS WHICH WOULD SUGGEST SCEN IA WHERE
SFC BASED LI RUNS INTO THE MINUS 10 RANGE (PER MSAS).  NORMAL
PROPAGATION WOULD CARRY THE BULK OF THE CONVECTION ACRS THE SRN HALF
OF THE CWA THIS EVENING.  THE NRN HALF SHOULD SEE SOMEWHAT LESS OF A
THREAT...BUT WILL STILL CARRY SIGINIFICANT POPS.  TSTMS MAY LINGER
IN SERN CWA AFTER MIDNIGHT...BUT SHOULD NO LONGER BE A THREAT BY
MORNING.  STILL PLAN TO CARRY LOW POPS TMRW IN SE DUE TO PROXIMITY
OF FRONT.

COMBINATION OF LIGHT WINDS AND WET GROUND MAY PROVE FAVORABLE FOR
FOG OVERNIGHT.

FRONT APPEARS TO LOSE IDENTITY AS IT SAGS SWD ON THU...AND HIGH PRES
NEVER REALLY ESTABLISHES ITSELF INTO CWA.  AS A RESULT...WOULD NOT
XPCT MUCH THREAT OF PRECIP NOR MUCH COOLER TEMPS.  ETA 2M TEMPS
STILL RUN INTO THE UPPER 80S ON THU...WITH DWPTS HOVERING ARND 70.

PRELIMINARY CCF FOR COORDINATION PURPOSES ONLY...
