The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Lincoln, IL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 24, 9:10 PM CDT, 2 hours 24 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 24, 9:10 PM CDT, 2 hours 24 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL 910 PM CDT TUE MAY 24 2004 .DISCUSSION...LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS HAD WAVY FRONTAL BOUNDARY LYING ACROSS SOUTHERN ILLINOIS...ROUGHLY ALONG I-70. FRONT IS NOT EXPECTED TO MAKE TOO MUCH MORE PROGRESS SOUTH TONIGHT AS WEAK UPPER IMPULSES CONTINUE TO MOVE ALONG IT. LOW LEVEL AIRMASS HAS COOLED AND DRIED TO THE NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY...BUT IT IS STILL WARM AND HUMID TO THE SOUTH. BEST FORCING FOR SHOWER/STORM DEVELOPMENT OVERNIGHT HAS ENDED AND DIURNAL INSTABILITY HAS DIMINISHED...SO DO NOT EXPECT MAJOR REDEVELOPMENT OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER...UPPER IMPULSES (AND THE ASSOCIATED WEAK DPVA AND WAA/ISENTROPIC ASCENT) AND STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES (TO 7 C/KM) SUPPORT KEEPING CHANCES OF SHOWERS/STORMS IN MUCH OF FORECAST AREA OVERNIGHT...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-70. UPDATED GRIDS/ZONES ALREADY OUT...WITH MAINLY COSMETIC CHANGES. && .PREV DISCUSSION... SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT... CLUSTER OF STORMS OVER EAST-CENTRAL MISSOURI TRACKING EAST ALONG WARM FRONT THIS AFTERNOON HAS PROMPTED WATCH BOX BORDERING OUR COUNTIES TO THE SOUTH. JET STREAK EVIDENT IN WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INTERACTING WITH BOUNDARY TO FORCE STORMS. ETA SUGGESTS THAT MOVEMENT OF STREAK SHOULD BE GENERALLY TO THE EAST. SOUTHEAST COUNTIES HAVE HAD PARTIAL CLEARING ALLOWING LIFTED INDEX TO REACH THE -3 TO -5 RANGE FROM I-70 SOUTH. WILL KEEP LIKELY POPS GOING SOUTH OF I-70. MODELS EXPECT BOUNDARY TO BE SUPPRESSED TO NEAR OHIO RIVER WEDNESDAY BEFORE RETURNING NORTHWARD LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT. WILL KEEP CHANCES I-72 SOUTH...BUT AGREE WITH SPC DEPICTION OF KEEPING ACTIVITY MOSTLY ACROSS SOUTHERN ZONES. 12Z GFS/ETA ALSO SUPPRESSES BEST RAIN CHANCES SOUTH OF I-70. LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY... BOUNDARY IS PROGGED TO BEGIN TO RETURN NORTHWARD ON THURSDAY IN RESPONSE TO STRONG SHORTWAVE EJECTING OUT OF THE PLAINS. WILL INTRODUCE POPS INTO ENTIRE AREA THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT. CENTRAL ILLINOIS SHOULD BE IN THE WARM SECTOR ON FRIDAY. HOWEVER...GFS BRINGS WEAK DISTURBANCE ACROSS AREA FRIDAY NIGHT. WILL KEEP LOW CHANCE POPS GOING THEN AND INTO WEEKEND. GFS ENSEMBLE SEEMS SUBSTANTIALLY FASTER THAN OPERATIONAL GFS WITH REGARDS TO PASSAGE OF SYSTEM OVER WEEKEND. SUNDAY LOOKS LIKE BEST CHANCES AND WILL BE REFLECTED IN THE GRIDS. ENSEMBLE SUGGESTS THAT MEMORIAL DAY MAY BE DRY...BUT GIVEN UNCERTAINTY WILL KEEP GOING LOW POPS AT THIS TIME. SYSTEM SHOULD BE BY FOR TUESDAY AND WILL GO DRY THEN. WILL GENERALLY FOLLOW MAV/MEX TEMP GUIDANCE. && .ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IL...NONE. && BAK/BARKER
