AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
300 PM CDT FRI AUG 19 2005

.DISCUSSION...
.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY
STATIONARY FRONT EXTENDS EAST/WEST FROM SOUTHERN IOWA TO PEORIA TO
NORTH OF INDIANAPOLIS...AND AN OLD OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM EARLIER
CONVECTION LIES ACROSS SOUTHERN ILLINOIS. AIRMASS NEAR THESE
BOUNDARIES IS VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE...BUT WEAK CAPPING IS ALSO
PRESENT. IN ADDITION...CENTRAL ILLINOIS IS CAUGHT IN A SHORTWAVE
RIDGE BETWEEN THE TROUGHS OVER EASTERN KANSAS...AND CENTRAL INDIANA.
BECAUSE OF THESE FACTORS...BELIEVE THAT ANY LATE AFTERNOON/EVENING
DEVELOPMENT IN THIS AREA WILL BE ISOLATED OR WIDELY SCATTERED.
BETTER CHANCES FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL LIKELY BE LATER TONIGHT AS
THE COMPLEX NOW DEVELOPING NORTHWEST OF KANSAS CITY STRENGTHENS AND
PROPAGATES EASTWARD ALONG THE STATIONARY FRONT. FOR THESE REASONS...
WILL GO WITH CHANCE POPS IN THE EVENING THEN BUMP THEM TO LIKELY
OVER THE CENTRAL AND WEST LATER TONIGHT. LARGE HAIL WILL BE
POSSIBLE...BUT THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE STRONG WINDS...ESPECIALLY IF
THE CONVECTION OUT WEST CAN DEVELOP A COLD POOL AS IT MOVES INTO
NORTHERN MISSOURI AND WESTERN ILLINOIS. THIS PRECIPITATION AREA
SHOULD BE PRETTY WIDESPREAD OVER THE AREA SATURDAY MORNING...BEFORE
THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT PUSHES THINGS TO THE EAST TOWARD
AFTERNOON.

WE SHOULD BE ENTERING A DRIER AND COOLER PERIOD BEGINNING SATURDAY
NIGHT WHICH WILL LAST INTO AT LEAST MID WEEK. NICE CANADIAN AIRMASS
WILL COME SOUTHEASTWARD FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND BRING 850MB
TEMPERATURES AROUND 10 DEGC COOLER THAN THEY ARE TODAY.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY
THE MAIN FORECAST ISSUE IN THE LONGER TERM WILL BE THE TIMING OF A
COLD FRONT THAT IS EXPECTED TO APPROACH THE MIDWEST TOWARD FRIDAY.
THE LATEST RUNS OF THE GFS ARE SLOWING THIS FEATURE DOWN A LITTLE...
SOMEWHAT CLOSER TO WHAT THE ECMWF MODEL HAS BEEN ADVERTISING. HPC
PROGS ARE LEANING THIS WAY AS WELL. WITH THIS IN MIND...WILL KEEP
POPS BELOW MENTIONABLE VALUES THROUGH FRIDAY...WITH PLENTY OF TIME
TO WATCH THE NEXT COUPLE MODEL RUNS.

COOLEST PERIOD SHOULD BE MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT WHEN THE SURFACE
RIDGE AXIS WILL BE MOVING OVERHEAD...THEN A SLOW WARMING INTO THE
END OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.

CLAY-RICHLAND-LAWRENCE-
1106 AM CDT FRI AUG 19 2005

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST
ILLINOIS...CENTRAL ILLINOIS AND EAST CENTRAL ILLINOIS.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS ALL OF CENTRAL AND
SOUTHEASTERN ILLINOIS TODAY AND TONIGHT. THE MAIN HAZARDS WILL BE
DAMAGING WIND AND LARGE HAIL. THE WARM FRONT THAT PRODUCED SEVERE
WEATHER YESTERDAY...WILL REMAIN JUST NORTH OF CENTRAL ILLINOIS,
AND WARM AND MOIST AIR WILL REMAIN IN PLACE SOUTH OF THE FRONT. THIS
WELL SET THE STAGE FOR MORE STRONG THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP DUE TO
THE HEAT OF THE DAY AND INSTABILITY. THE BEST CHANCES FOR SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO TONIGHT. THERE
IS A SLIGHT RISK THAT SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD BECOME
SEVERE...WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL THE MAIN THREAT. ISOLATED
TORNADOES ARE ALSO POSSIBLE NORTH OF INTERSTATE 72.

IN ADDITION...HOT AND HUMID AIR WILL PUSH HEAT INDICES INTO THE 100
TO 105 RANGE. THIS IS JUST SHY OF A HEAT ADVISORY, SO BE AWARE OF
KEEPING YOUR BODY WELL HYDRATED TODAY, AND KEEP OUT OF THE SUN.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER ON SATURDAY...MAINLY
SOUTHEAST OF I-70. THIS IS DUE TO A COLD FRONT THAT IS POISED TO
DROP SOUTHEAST THROUGH ILLINOIS. ENOUGH INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE WILL
REMAIN INPLACE TO PRODUCE STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE REQUIRED LATER THIS AFTERNOON...AND INTO TONIGHT.
