.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 352 PM CDT WED JUN 4 2008

SHORT TERM...THIS WILL BE A VERY BRIEF DISCUSSION SINCE FORECAST
DUTIES WERE INHERITED THIS AFTERNOON BY THE CHICAGO OFFICE DUE TO
COMMUNICATIONS FAILURES AFFECTING THE LINCOLN OFFICE. MOST OF THE
TIME HAS BEEN SPENT CATCHING UP.

SURFACE BOUNDARY STRETCHING ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS HAS CONTINUED
TO SERVE AS A FOCUS FOR CONVECTION. STORMS THIS AFTERNOON HAVE
MOVED EAST OF THE AREA FOR THE TIME BEING...THOUGH ADDITIONAL
DEVELOPMENT IS POSSIBLE THIS EVENING. FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL COVER
ANY ADDITIONAL RAINFALL IN AREAS THAT HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED TOO
MUCH.  THIS BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO PUSH NORTH TOMORROW AS A SURFACE
LOW MOVES INTO NEBRASKA. PRECIP CHANCES DECREASE BUT TEMPERATURES
AND HUMIDITY WILL BE ON THE RISE AS THE BOUNDARY MOVES OUT OF THE
AREA. FRIDAY MIGHT NOT FEEL QUITE AS WARM BUT WINDS WILL PICK UP
QUITE A BIT.

LONG TERM...CLOSELY FOLLOWED HPC GUIDANCE.
