AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
342 PM CDT TUE JUN 27 2006

.DISCUSSION...
FORECAST ISSUES ARE STORM CHANCES THROUGH WED NIGHT...AND SEVERE
POTENTIAL TONIGHT AND WED AFTERNOON. THE MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT
ON THE GENERAL UPPER AND SURFACE PATTERN...BUT THE GFS CONV
PARAMETERIZATION IS TRIGGERED MORE IN LINE WITH THE PATTERN OF THE
LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. WILL LEAN TWRD GFS FOR DETAILS.

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...
WEAK SURFACE RIDGING THIS MORNING ACROSS OUR CWA ALLOWED FOR
SUNSHINE AND DESTABILIZATION...AHEAD OF THE NEXT COLD FRONT AND H5
SHORT WAVE. CONVECTIVE TEMP WAS REACHED EARLIER THIS MORNING AS
SHALLOW SHOWERS DEVELOPED. THIS AFTERNOON...A WEAK MID LEVEL CAP
FINALLY BUSTED AND THE STORMS ARE GROWING IN INTENSITY THE LAST 30
MINUTES. HAIL WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT...AS THE FREEZING LEVEL
DROPPED FROM 10.3K FT YESTERDAY AFTERNOON...TO 9.9K FT TODAY.
LARGE HAIL DEVELOPED YESTERDAY...PRIMARILY DUE TO STEEP LAPSE
RATES AND ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. OUR 18Z SOUNDING SHOWED
MUCH OF THE SAME FOR LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING.
PLUS...THIS AFTERNOON AN H3 JET MAX WILL BE PROVIDING ADDITIONAL
LIFT IN THE EXIT REGION.

AS FOR THE FORECAST TONIGHT...I STILL WENT WITH SCATTERED WORDING
IN THE GRIDS...AS COVERAGE WILL BE IN THAT RANGE. AFTER
MIDNIGHT...MUCH LESS ACTIVITY SHOULD BE AROUND...SO ISOLATED
SHOULD STILL WORK FINE.

WEDNESDAY WILL FEATURE ANOTHER LOBE OF THE LONG WAVE TROUGH MOVING
OVER OUR CWA...ESPECIALLY THE NORTHERN HALF. A SURFACE FRONT WILL
DROP SOUTH THROUGH OUR CWA...AND PASS SOUTH OF US BY THURSDAY
MORNING. THE AFTERNOON STORMS WILL BE SIMILAR IN TIMING AND
COVERAGE TO TODAY AND YESTERDAY...SO THE SCATTERED POPS WERE LEFT
AS IS FOR THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

HEIGHT RISES SHOULD PREVAIL FROM THURSDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND...AS
A LONG WAVE TROUGH IN CANADA FLATTENS THE RIDGE AND MOVES OUR
TROUGH OFF TO THE EAST. THIS SHOULD GIVE US A SHORT BREAK FROM THE
CONTINUOUS FLOW OF SHORTWAVES INTO OUR CWA FROM THE NW.

LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...
FRIDAY SHOULD REMAIN DRY...ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SOME HINTS IN THE
GFS THAT INDICATE A SHORTWAVE IS TRYING TO BREAK INTO OUR SURFACE
RIDGE AND KICK OFF SOME STORMS FRIDAY AFTERNOON. FOR NOW...AFTER
COLLABORATION WITH SURROUNDING WFO/S, WE ARE KEEPING THE FCST DRY
DUE TO A DRY LAYER BELOW 10K FT, AND UNTIL SOME CONSISTENCY SHOWS
UP IN THE MODELS.

THE GFS IS SHOWING AN H5 VORT MAX PASSING BY TO OUR NORTH...AS A
COLD FRONT SAGS SOUTH TOWARD ILLINOIS. BY SATURDAY NIGHT...THE
FRONT SHOULD COME CLOSE ENOUGH THAT MOISTURE CONVERGENCE WILL BE
SUFFICIENT FOR SCATTERED STORMS. SUNDAY AFTERNOON...THE FRONT WILL
DROP FARTHER SOUTH INTO OUR CWA...AND WILL ALLOW A MORE POTENT H5
VORT MAX TO TRIGGER THUNDERSTORMS. THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL BE
PARALLEL TO THE FRONT...AND IT SHOULD LINGER THROUGH MONDAY...SO
20 POPS WERE LEFT IN THE GRIDS FOR THAT TIME.

ANOTHER COLD POOL OF UPPER LEVEL AIR IS FORECAST FOR TUESDAY...SO
INSTABILITY STORMS MAY RETURN TO THE AREA.
