AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
1020 AM CDT WED APR 4 2007

.DISCUSSION...
MAIN ISSUE FOR THE SHORT TERM IS THE TEMPERATURE FORECASTS FOR THIS
AFTERNOON.

MORNING LOW TEMPERATURES ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL ILLINOIS WERE IN THE
MID TO UPPER 20S...WITH 30-35 DEGREES SOUTH OF I-70. LATE MORNING
TEMPERATURES HAVE NOT REALLY RECOVERED...AND IN FACT HAVE FALLEN A
FEW MORE DEGREES. WEST-NORTHWEST WINDS GUSTING TO 30 MPH OR SO
CONTINUE TO BRING IN COLD AIR...AS UPSTREAM TEMPERATURES ACROSS IOWA
ARE ONLY IN THE LOWER 20S. BREAKS IN THE CLOUD COVER WEST OF A
PEORIA TO SPRINGFIELD LINE ARE EXPECTED TO FILL IN SOMEWHAT TOWARD
MIDDAY...LIMITING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF SUNSHINE. WITH THIS IN
MIND...WILL BE UPDATING THE FORECAST TO BRING HIGH TEMPERATURES DOWN
THIS AFTERNOON.

RADAR AND SURFACE REPORTS HAVE BEEN INDICATING SCATTERED FLURRIES
THIS MORNING...MAINLY ALONG AND NORTH OF I-74. WILL GO AHEAD AND ADD
THESE TO THE GRIDS.

&&
.PREV DISCUSSION...
FORECAST CONCERN IS HOW STRONG WINDS WILL BE TODAY AS STRONG LOW
PRESSURE DEPARTS THE GREAT LAKES AND IF WIND ADVISORY NEEDED. THEN
LOOKING AT HARD FREEZE EXPECTED NEXT SEVERAL NIGHTS AS CANADIAN AIR
MASS THAT USHERED INTO THE AREA THIS PAST NIGHT STICKS AROUND
THROUGH THE EASTER WEEKEND. OTHERWISE A DRY WEATHER PATTERN EXPECTED
WITH NW UPPER LEVEL FLOW THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH WELL BELOW
NORMAL TEMPS MODIFYING BACK TO NORMAL BY NEXT TUE. 00Z SHORT RANGE
MODELS WERE IN GOOD AGREEMENT AND USED A BLEND THIS FORECAST
PACKAGE.

08Z/3 AM SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS 997 MB LOW PRESSURE DEEPENING JUST
NORTH OF SAGINAW BAY IN LOWER MI WITH ITS STRONG COLD FRONT
EXTENDING ACROSS WESTERN OHIO INTO CENTRAL KY/TN. VERY STRONG 1048
MB ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE FOR EARLY APRIL WAS OVER REINDEER LAKE ALONG
THE NORTHERN MANITOBA/SASKATCHEWAN PROVINCE LINE AND RIDGING SOUTH
ACROSS THE PLAINS STATES INTO TEXAS. LOW CLOUDS COVERED MUCH OF
CENTRAL IL ALONG WITH BLUSTERY WNW WINDS 15 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS OF
30 TO 40 MPH. GALESBURG AND MACOMB RECENTLY REPORTED GUSTS OF 39
MPH. MUCH COLDER TEMPS RANGED FROM 27F IN GALESBURG TO 42F IN
LAWRENCEVILLE WITH THE FREEZING LINE ALONG I-55. ALOFT A 535 DM 500
MB CUTOFF LOW WAS OVER WI WITH AN UPPER LEVEL TROF EXTENDING SOUTH
INTO IA/IL/MO.

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY...
MOST MODELS WERE NOT DEEP ENOUGH WITH LOW PRESSURE HEADING INTO LAKE
HURON EARLY THIS MORNING SO WINDS WILL LIKELY BE A BIT STRONGER THAN
MODELS PROJECTED FOR TODAY ESPECIALLY THIS MORNING. LOW PRESSURE
CONTINUES TO DEEPEN AS IT LIFTS NE OF LAKE HURON BY SUNSET WHILE
STRONG CANADIAN/ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE MO VALLEY.
BUFKIT MOMENTUM TRANSFER SHOWS PEAK WINDS TODAY OF 35 MPH BUT THIS
MAY BE CLOSER TO 40 MPH ESPECIALLY FROM I-74 NORTH INTO EARLY
AFTERNOON CONSIDERING RECENT TRENDS AND DEEPER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM.
THINK LOW CLOUDS THIS MORNING WILL KEEP WINDS BELOW ADVISORY
CRITERIA...WITH WIND ADVISORY JUST NORTH OF KNOX...STARK AND
MARSHALL COUNTIES TODAY. MODELS DECREASE LOW CLOUDS DURING THIS
AFTERNOON FROM THE SW WHILE KEEPING PRECIPITATION NE ACROSS THE
GREAT LAKES. COOLED HIGHS A FEW MORE DEGREES TO AROUND 40F FROM I-74
NORTH AND MID TO UPPER 40S IN SE IL. THIS WILL BE A SHARP CONTRAST
FROM HIGHS IN THE 60S AND 70S AND EVEN LOWER 80S PAST TWO WEEKS.

MODELS SHOW AN AREA OF LOW CLOUDS MOVING SE ACROSS NE IL TONIGHT AND
MOST OF THESE CLOUDS SHOULD STAY NE OF I-74 WITH MOSTLY CLEAR TO
PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES OVER CENTRAL/SE IL. LOWS IN THE MID TO UPPER 20S
EXPECTED TONIGHT AND AGAIN THU NIGHT WITH A HARD FREEZE LIKELY. WILL
BE ISSUING A FREEZE WARNING FROM MIDNIGHT TONIGHT THROUGH 9 AM THU
MORNING. AVERAGE LAST SPRING FREEZE IS MID APRIL. BUT TEMPS HAVE
BEEN 10 TO 25F ABOVE NORMAL DURING THE PAST TWO WEEKS AND VEGETATION
HAS BUDDED OUT 1 TO 2 WEEKS EARLIER THAN NORMAL. TENDER PLANTS WILL
NEED TO BE COVERED OR TAKEN INDOORS NEXT SEVERAL NIGHTS. MODELS SHOW
A SHORT WAVE MOVING SE ACROSS THE OZARKS THU KEEPING ITS CLOUDS SW
OF IL. SHORT WAVE ENERGY PIVOTS SOUTHWARD ACROSS IL FRI AND COULD
BRING BACK SOME MORE LOW CLOUDS WITH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES.

LONG TERM...FRIDAY NIGHT  THROUGH TUESDAY...
EXTENDED FORECAST LOOKS ON TRACK AND LITTLE CHANGES MADE.
MODELS/ENSEMBLES REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
ANCHORED OVER THE ROCKIES AND STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW/TROF OVER NEW
ENGLAND/EASTERN STATES THIS EASTER WEEKEND. COLDEST NIGHTS ARE
EXPECTED FRI AND SAT NIGHT AS CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OVER IL
BY EASTER. LOWS OF 20 TO 25F BUT A FEW DEGREES SHY OF RECORDS AT
MOST LOCATIONS. THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW IS EXPECTED TO DEAMPLIFY WITH
TIME AND PROVIDE MODERATING TEMPERATURES BACK TOWARD NORMAL BY NEXT
TUE WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER 60S. DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE
THROUGH MON NIGHT...THEN A RISK OF SHOWERS AND POSSIBLE
THUNDERSTORMS TUE AS AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE AND LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE MIDWEST.
