AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
300 PM CDT SUN JUL 2 2006

.DISCUSSION...
SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...
SURFACE FRONT LIES ACROSS EXTREME NORTHERN ILLINOIS INTO SOUTHWEST
IOWA THIS AFTERNOON. MID LEVEL SHOWERS HAVE BEEN MOVING ALONG THE
BOUNDARY ALL DAY...BUT LITTLE MORE THAN A TRACE HAS BEEN MAKING IT
TO THE GROUND. HOWEVER...THE CLOUDS ARE SERVING TO SHARPEN THE
BAROCLINIC ZONE DUE TO DIFFERENTIAL HEATING...AND THIS MAY AID
FURTHER CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT EARLY THIS EVENING. FURTHER SOUTH...
SEVERAL GRAVITY WAVES ARE LYING ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS FROM THE
OVERNIGHT PRECIPITATION...AND SOME HIGH-BASED THUNDERSTORMS ARE
BEGINNING TO BUBBLE UP ALONG THESE FEATURES WITH THE HELP OF A
SHORTWAVE MOVING INTO EASTERN IOWA AND ITS ATTENDANT JET STREAK.
ALTHOUGH THE CAP IS NOT AS STRONG AS IT WAS ON SATURDAY...THE MID
LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARENT AS STEEP EITHER. GUT FEELING IS THAT ANY
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE QUINCY-LINCOLN-DANVILLE CORRIDOR
WILL BE ISOLATED MAINLY THIS EVENING. MORE ORGANIZED DEVELOPMENT
WILL PROBABLY TAKE PLACE LATER ON THIS EVENING ALONG THE MAIN COLD
FRONT ACROSS SOUTHERN IOWA WHERE THE LOW LEVEL JET WILL BE STRONGER
AND MORE PERPENDICULAR TO THE BOUNDARY. THIS ACTIVITY WILL THEN
MOVE/DEVELOP EASTWARD OVERNIGHT. WILL CARRY CHANCE POPS ALL NIGHT
OVER THE NORTHERN AREAS...THEN EXTEND THE POPS SOUTHWARD INTO
CENTRAL ILLINOIS AFTER MIDNIGHT. MAY ALSO MENTION ISOLATED EVENING
STORMS FURTHER SOUTH DEPENDING ON LAST MINUTE RADAR TRENDS.

WHATEVER SURFACE BOUNDARY PUSHES SOUTH INTO THE FORECAST AREA BY
TOMORROW MORNING IS FORECAST BY THE MODELS TO LIFT NORTH AGAIN TO
NORTHERN ILLINOIS...BUT THIS MAY BE TOO AGRESSIVE DEPENDING ON HOW
MUCH PRECIPITATION DEVELOPS TONIGHT. IT COULD HANG AROUND OUR
NORTHERN ZONES IF CLOUDS AND MODIFIED RAIN-COOLED AIR IS STRONG
ENOUGH. WILL CARRY HIGH-END CHANCE POPS FOR NOW OVER THE CENTRAL AND
NORTH ALL DAY...AND SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN THE SOUTHEAST WHERE THEY
SHOULD SEE ONE MORE DAY IN THE HEAT.

MODEL QPF PROGS HAVE BEEN PRETTY CONSISTENT IN MAKING MONDAY NIGHT
WET FOR MOST OF THE AREA AS THE MAIN COLD FRONT PUSHES SOUTHWARD.
HEAVY RAINFALL MAY BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE MIDDLE OF THE STATE.
PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT OVER AT LEAST
THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE AREA. THE 12Z GFS AND WRF ARE SLOWING DOWN
THE FRONT MORE THAN PREVIOUSLY...AND THIS APPEARS REASONABLE
CONSIDERING THAT THE FRONT WILL BE PUSHING SOUTHWARD AWAY FROM THE
MAIN WESTERLYS ALOFT. WITH THIS IN MIND...WILL EXTEND THE LIKELY
POPS INTO THE SOUTHEAST TUESDAY NIGHT.

LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
BY WEDNESDAY...THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BE SOUTH OF
THE AREA. AS ABOVE...THE 12Z MODELS SHOW QPF A BIT FURTHER NORTH ON
WEDNESDAY THAN PREVIOUSLY AND THIS WILL DEPEND ON HOW SHALLOW THE
FRONT IS AS IT CONTINUES SOUTHWARD. MAY HAVE TO ADD SOME MENTIONABLE
POPS IN THE SOUTHEAST AT LEAST WEDNESDAY MORNING...BUT WILL WAIT
ANOTHER DAY TO SEE IF THIS NEW WETTER TREND IN THE MODELS CONTINUES.

OTHERWISE...UPPER PATTERN STILL LOOKS LIKE A RIDGE WEST AND TROUGH
EAST. THE MAIN FORECAST PROBLEMS WILL THEN BE HOW MUCH AFTERNOON
HIGHS WILL WARM UP WITH LOTS OF SUN...AND HOW FAST THE UPPER RIDGE
BREAKS DOWN AS TROUGHING TRIES TO INVADE THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
TOWARD NEXT WEEKEND. IN THE MEANTIME...LITTLE OR NO PROSPECTS FOR
PRECIPITATION THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.
