AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
113 PM CDT TUE MAY 27 2008

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 949 AM CDT TUE MAY 27 2008

VERY COMPLEX FORECAST SCENARIO TODAY ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA.
TEMPERATURES ARE THE FIRST PROBLEM WITH A COLD FRONT LYING JUST
SOUTH OF I-70 LATE THIS MORNING AND A BRISK NORTHEAST WIND IN
CENTRAL ILLINOIS. AFTERNOON HIGHS WILL STRUGGLE TO REACH THE MID
TO UPPER 50S NORTH OF A RUSHVILLE-LINCOLN-CHAMPAIGN
LINE...ESPECIALLY WITH THE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND T-STORMS AND
EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER OVER THE AREA NOW. THE COMPLICATING FACTOR
IS THAT ONLY 1-2 HOURS OF SUN LATE THIS AFTERNOON WOULD ALLOW TEMPS
TO SHOOT UP PRETTY QUICK.

NEAR THE FRONT...TEMPS ARE AT THEIR MAX NOW AND WILL DROP OFF
PRETTY QUICK AS EVIDENCED BY THE CURRENT MID 50S AT MATTOON AND
LOWER 70S IN EFFINGHAM. AHEAD OF THE FRONT...HIGHS SHOULD CLIMB
TOWARD 80 FROM FLORA-OLNEY-LAWRENCEVILLE BY EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON...THEN DROP AFTER THAT.

LATE THIS MORNING THERE WERE NO SHOWERS OR T-STORMS ALONG AND
SOUTH OF I-72. HOWEVER...THAT WILL CHANGE BY THIS AFTERNOON AS
REMNANTS OF A DECAYING MCS AND ITS ASSOCIATED UPPER SUPPORT MOVE
INTO CENTRAL AND SE IL. THE BEST CHANCES IN THE 70 PERCENT RANGE
WILL REMAIN IN SE IL AS THE UPPER SUPPORT INTERACTS WITH THE FRONT
AND HIGHER DEWPOINT AIR.

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 110 PM CDT TUE MAY 27 2008

VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS MCV OVER EAST CENTRAL MO THAT
SHOULD CONTINUE TO TRIGGER ELEVATED SHOWERS AND TSTMS AHEAD OF AND
LARGE OF ITS EAST TRACK THROUGH AFTERNOON. KEEP PCPN IN FORECAST
INTO EARLY EVENING AND THEN DROPPED IT. DID NOT CLEAR CLOUDS OUT
YET LATER WED MORNING...AS NOT SURE ABOUT IT DUE TO PLENTY OF
LINGERING MOISTURE.
