What forecasters said that day

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 Sep 22, 2:15 PM CDT, 2 hours 45 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 22, 2:15 PM CDT, 2 hours 45 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
215 PM CDT FRI SEP 22 2006

.DISCUSSION...LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS HAD A LARGE AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE CENTERED NEAR THE MINNESOTA/SOUTH DAKOTA BORDER...WITH AN
OCCLUDED/COLD FRONT EXTENDING SOUTH SOUTHEAST THROUGH MISSOURI AND
CURVING SOUTHWEST INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. A WAVE WAS EVIDENT ALONG
THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN SOUTHWEST MISSOURI...WITH A QUASI WARM FRONT
EXTENDING EAST SOUTHEAST ACROSS INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY. ALOFT...
A VIGOROUS LOW WAS CENTERED OVER THE EASTERN DAKOTAS. A COUPLE
STRONG IMPULSES WERE ROTATING AROUND THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE LARGE
SYSTEM... THE FIRST MOVING INTO IOWA AND MISSOURI AND THE OTHER
MOVING INTO COLORADO. MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS REMAIN PRECIPITATION
OVER THE NEXT 24-36 HOURS AND THE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER.

12Z MODELS IN GOOD OVERALL AGREEMENT INITIALLY. HOWEVER...THE NAM
BECOMES THE ONLY MODEL BY LATE SATURDAY THAT MAINTAINS A CLOSED
UPPER CIRCULATION AND KEEPS IT IN THE VICINITY LONGER. WILL FOLLOW
THE GFS LED CONSENSUS. HOWEVER...THE GFS APPEARS TO BE SUFFERING
CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK SATURDAY AND IS PROBABLY MORE BULLISH WITH
PRECIPITATION AND STRONGER WITH THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE WAVE THAN
REALITY. GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES CLOSE/REASONABLE...SO WILL NOT STRAY
TOO FAR.

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...

TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...SEVERE THREAT STILL LOOKS GOOD AT TIMES
THROUGH THE PERIOD. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT THREAT APPEARS TO BE THIS
EVENING AS LEAD UPPER WAVE MOVES THROUGH THE MIDWEST...ALONG WITH
THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE WAVE/WARM FRONT. THE WIND FIELDS/SHEAR WITH
THESE FEATURES IS IMPRESSIVE AND INSTABILITY IS MORE THAN
SUFFICIENT. THE UPPER WAVE MOVING INTO COLORADO WILL PASS THROUGH
THE MIDWEST MIDDAY SATURDAY...DRIVING THE COLD FRONT THROUGH
ILLINOIS. THE PRE FRONTAL SEVERE THREAT APPEARS GOOD ONCE AGAIN.
THOUGH THE TIME OF DAY WILL BE LESS FAVORABLE FOR MOST OF FORECAST
AREA FROM AN INSTABILITY STANDPOINT. WILL MAINTAIN CURRENT HIGH
CHANCES OF SHOWERS/STORMS IN FORECAST WITH FEW CHANGES.

SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY...UPPER SYSTEM EVOLVES INTO AN OPEN WAVE
AND PULLS NORTHEAST OF THE REGION. SOME WRAP AROUND MOISTURE AND A
SECONDARY UPPER WAVE WILL BRING MAINTAIN A LOW CHANCE OF SHOWERS ON
THE COOL SIDE OF THE SYSTEM. HOWEVER...THE COVERAGE SHOULD NOT BE
TOO SIGNIFICANT.

SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...NEUTRAL FLOW ALOFT AND WEAK HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BUILD IN FOR THE REST OF THE PERIOD. THIS WILL RESULT IN QUIET
CONDITIONS.

LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...MODEL/ENSEMBLE AGREEMENT IS
REASONABLE THROUGH THE PERIOD. RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY IS IMPROVING
AND IT APPEARS THAT A FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE REGION ON
WEDNESDAY. WILL KEEP PRECIPITATION MENTION IN THE SLIGHT CHANCE
CATEGORY AT THIS TIME GIVEN THE LACK OF SIGNIFICANT PRE FRONTAL
RETURN FLOW AND FURTHER NORTH TRACK OF BEST FORCING. OTHERWISE...
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN AT LEAST SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THE
PERIOD WITH EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE COUNTRY DOMINATED BY SOME DEGREE
OF TROFFING.
