Area forecast discussion, Sep 19, 3:19 PM CDT, 34 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL 319 PM CDT MON SEP 19 2005 .DISCUSSION... SEVERE WEATHER IN PROGRESS, SO WILL KEEP THIS SHORT. HPC WAS LEANING TWRD GFS FOR THE MODEL OF CHOICE, AS LONG AS WE TEMPER THE CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK. SIMILAR SITUATION TO YESTERDAY, AND I WILL USE THE CANADIAN GLOBAL TO GUID THE PRECIP TRENDS. .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. SEVERE STORMS ARE ERUPTING IN OUR NW CWA AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. WIND DAMAGE IN FULTON COUNTY AROUND 245 PM, SO WIND IS REACHING THE GROUND. CONVECTION MAY BECOME SURFACE BASED SOONER THAN I EXPECTED. OUR 18Z SOUNDING INDICATED A WARM MID LAYER, WITH A STRONG CAP. HOWEVER, ANOTHER NIMNAT JUST CAME IN FOR THE NEXT WATCH, SO ANTICIPATE ADDITIONAL SEVERE CONVECTION IN THE REMAINDER OF OUR CWA. CAPES TO 2800 J/KG AND LI OF -8 SHOW THAT IF THE CONVECTION CONTINUES AND BREAKS THE CAP, IT WILL QUICKLY BECOME SEVERE IN OUR EASTERN AREAS AS WELL. I UPDATED THE GRIDS TO CATAGORICAL FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON IN OUR W ZONES, AND INTO THE EVENING FOR THE E ZONES. QUATER SIZE HAIL REPORT JUST IN FROM CANTON IL, SO THE PRECIP WATER VALUES OF 1.8 INCHES IS ENOUGH FOR LARGE HAIL, DESPITE THE FREEZING LEVEL AT 14.6K FT. EXPECT THE STORMS TO END BY TUESDAY 12Z, AND KEPT TUESDAY DRY. WED SHOULD REMAIN DRY AS WELL, WITH HIGH PRESSURE IN CONTROL. LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. ONLY MINOR UPDATES NEEDED TO THE LONG TERM GRIDS. THE NEXT WEATHER MAKER WILL BE A FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPROACHING OUR W CWA ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT, AS LOW PRESSURE LIFTS PAST US TO THE WEST. WE GET CLIPPED BY OVERNIGHT CONVECTION FROM THE PLAINS, THAT MAY LINGER INTO THURSDAY. UNCERTAINTIES STILL EXIST WITH THE TRACK OF THE COLD FRONT, AND WHERE IT WILL STALL OUT IN OUR CWA. I LEFT THE LOW POPS AS IS THROUGH MONDAY, UNTIL THE INDICATED PATTERN BECOMES MORE CONSISTENT. && .ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IL...NONE. SHIMON
