AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
207 PM CDT SAT JUL 12 2008

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 145 PM CDT SAT JUL 12 2008

THE 18Z SFC MAP INDICATES A COLD FRONT STRETCHING FROM JUST EAST
OF PEORIA SOUTHWEST TO NEAR JACKSONVILLE. THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY
PRODUCED FROM THIS MRNGS CONVECTION HAS MADE IT TO JUST SOUTH OF
OUR FCST AREA AND THAT FEATURE STRETCHES BACK NW INTO EAST CNTRL
MO. WDLY SCATTERED CONVECTION WAS BEGINNING TO DEVELOP AHEAD OF
THE COLD FRONT WITH A CLUSTER OF STRONGER STORMS WEST OF ST LOUIS.
LARGER AREA OF SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS...ASSOCIATED
WITH EXIT REGION OF JET STREAK ACRS THE NRN PLAINS WAS TRACKING
EWD ACRS THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER...JUST BEHIND THE COLD FRONT.

MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS WL BE WITH CONVECTION COVERAGE AND
PLACEMENT EARLY THIS EVENING...ALONG WITH THE THREAT FOR ISOLD
SEVERE WEATHER ACRS SE HALF AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. MODELS WERE
HANDLING THE MOVEMENT OF THE FRONT ACRS THE FORECAST AREA ABOUT
THE SAME AS WELL AS WITH THE PACIFIC HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM SETTLING
IN FOR SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. WL TEND TO SIDE WITH THE NAM-WRF
IN THE SHORT TERM...AND WITH THE ECMWF SOLUTION WHICH CONTINUES
TO SHOW MORE CONSISTENCY WITH THE LATE WEEK FRONT AND RAIN CHANCES.

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY
THE COLD FRONT WL CONTINUE TO SHIFT EAST AND SOUTH ACRS THE FCST
AREA THIS EVENING WITH CONVECTION CHANCES THE HIGHEST ACRS THE
SOUTH AND EAST AHEAD OF THE FRONT. RATHER WEAK 0-6KM BULK SHEAR
DEPICTED ON MODEL DATA THRU LATE TODAY...HOWEVER MIXED LAYER CAPES
IN THE 2500-3000 CAPES WERE INDICATED ACRS OUR SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST
COUNTIES FOR A BRIEF TIME LATE THIS AFTN. WIND PROFILES WERE MOSTLY
UNIDIRECTIONAL THIS AFTN SUGGESTING MORE MULTICELLULAR CONVECTION
WITH ISOLD WIND DAMAGE AND PSBLY SOME HAIL...ALTHOUGH FREEZING
LEVELS WERE AT OR ABOVE 14000 FEET. BASED ON THE PROGRESSIVE
NATURE OF THE FRONT THIS EVENING...HAVE DECIDED NOT TO ISSUE ANY
FLASH FLOOD HEADLINES AS IT APPEARS THE BETTER SUPPORT WILL BE
ACRS OUR EAST AND SOUTHEAST...WHERE THEY MISSED OUT ON LAST NIGHTS
DOWNPOURS.

RAIN CHANCES WILL LINGER ACRS THE SOUTHEAST SUNDAY MRNG BEFORE
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS EWD ACRS THE ENTIRE FCST AREA BRINGING COOLER
AND MUCH LESS HUMIDITY TO CNTRL AND SOUTHEAST IL THROUGH THE FIRST
HALF OF THE NEW WORK WEEK. MODELS INDICATE THE HIGH WL SHIFT ONLY
SLOWLY EAST ACRS THE MIDWEST INTO OHIO BY WEDNESDAY WITH THE RIDGE
AXIS EXTENDING WELL WEST THRU IL AND MO. THIS SHOULD BRING PLEASANT
WEATHER TO THE FORECAST AREA WITH DAYTIME HIGHS IN THE MID 80S ON
MONDAY...AND WARMING TO THE UPPER 80S TO AROUND 90 BY TUESDAY
AFTERNOON. OVERNIGHT LOWS SHOULD RANGE FROM THE UPPER 50S TO
LOWER 60S.

LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY
UPPER FLOW FORECAST TO DEAMPLIFY ACRS THE LOWER 48 DURING THIS PERIOD
WITH FLAT RIDGING EXTENDING FROM THE ROCKIES ALL THE WAY TO THE
EAST COAST. NEXT SHORTWAVE OF INTEREST FOR US WL BE TRACKING ACRS
SRN CANADA LATER ON THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY WHICH SHOULD HELP TO DRAG
A COLD FRONT ACRS THE MIDWEST...ESP LATER ON FRIDAY INTO EARLY
SATURDAY. WL USE THE TIMING OF THE 00Z AND CURRENT ECMWF WHICH HPC
HAS TRENDED TWDS...WITH THE LATEST GFS SLOWING DOWN THE FRONTAL
BNDRY INTO THE REGION AS WELL ON ITS LATEST RUN. WL CONTINUE TO CARRY
MENTIONABLE POPS FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT WITH SLIGHT CHANCE WORDING
CARRYING OVER INTO SATURDAY TO COVER THE POSSIBILITY OF THE FRONT
SLOWING DOWN OR EVEN STALLING OUT CLOSE TO OUR AREA NEXT WEEKEND.
BASED ON THE MEDIUM RANGE MODEL SOLUTINS WITH THE POSITION OF THE
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE ACRS THE CNTRL U.S...OUR TEMPERATURES DURING
THIS PERIOD SHOULD AVERAGE ABOVE NORMAL.
