AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
1133 PM CDT TUE APR 8 2008

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 849 PM CDT TUE APR 8 2008

COLD FRONT MAKING RAPID PROGRESS EASTWARD ACROSS FORECAST AREA.
THE FRONT WILL EXIT FORECAST AREA INTO INDIANA BY SHORTLY AFTER
MIDNIGHT. THIN LINE OF SHOWERS/STORMS HAS DEVELOPED THIS EVENING
ALONG THE COLD FRONT...WITH A FEW OF THE STRONGER STORMS PRODUCING
WIND GUSTS TO AROUND 40 MPH AND 1/2 INCH HAIL. THE PRECIPITATION
RISK WILL QUICKLY COME TO AN END WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT.

GOING FORECAST IS IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE. PLAN ON ISSUING AN UPDATE
TO CLEAR PRECIPITATION CHANCES BEHIND THE FRONT. WILL ALSO MAKE
MINOR TWEAKS TO REMAINDER OF FORECAST BASED ON CURRENT AND
EXPECTED TRENDS.

BAK
&&

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 1133 PM CDT TUE APR 8 2008

LOW PRESSURE IS RAPIDLY LIFTING NORTHEAST INTO THE GREAT LAKES
REGION. ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT HAS CLEARED THE CENTRAL ILLINOIS
TERMINALS...ENDING THE PRECIPITATION RISK FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE
06Z TAF PERIOD. IFR OR LOW MVFR CEILINGS WILL LINGER THROUGH THE
REST OF THE NIGHT IN THE WRAP AROUND MOISTURE BEHIND THE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM...BUT SKIES WILL SCATTER OUT WEDNESDAY MORNING
AFTER SUNRISE. QUIET CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR THE DAYTIME HOURS
WEDNESDAY...BUT VFR CEILINGS WILL REDEVELOP DURING THE EVENING
AHEAD OF THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM. GUSTY...POST FRONTAL...WEST WINDS
WILL DIMINISH DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS. WINDS WILL BECOME
VARIABLE ON WEDNESDAY AS A WEAK AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE DRIFTS
OVERHEAD...BECOMING EASTERLY DURING THE EVENING TO THE NORTH OF
THE NEXT STORM.

BAK
&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 241 PM CDT TUE APR 8 2008

MAIN CONCERN WITH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE WILL BE HEAVY RAINFALL
THREAT WITH NEXT APPROACHING SYSTEM ON THURSDAY.

18Z SURFACE CHART SHOWS 1007MB LOW OVER CENTRAL MISSOURI...WITH
ASSOCIATED WARM FRONT LIFTING NORTHWARD INTO CENTRAL ILLINOIS.
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS WITH A FEW EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS ARE OCCURRING
ALONG AND NORTH OF THIS BOUNDARY...MAINLY ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF
OF THE KILX CWA. ALOFT...WAVY ZONAL FLOW CONTINUES TO PREVAIL
ACROSS THE CONUS. ONE SHORT-WAVE IS APPARENT ON WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY APPROACHING ILLINOIS FROM THE WEST...WHILE ANOTHER FEATURE
IS NOTED JUST UPSTREAM OVER KANSAS. FURTHER WEST...LONG-WAVE
TROUGH IS BEGINNING TO DIG WEST OF THE ROCKIES.

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY

LOW PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK NORTHEASTWARD THIS
EVENING...REACHING SOUTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN BY AROUND 10PM.
AS A RESULT...ALL BUT THE FAR W/NW KILX CWA WILL ENTER THE WARM
SECTOR OF THE SYSTEM LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING
HOURS. AS SURFACE DEWPOINTS CLIMB INTO THE 50S...ENOUGH
DESTABILIZATION WILL OCCUR TO PRODUCE AT LEAST SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA. A FEW OF THE STORMS COULD BECOME
SEVERE...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND EAST OF I-57. SEVERE THREAT WILL BE
SHORT-LIVED...AS PROGRESSIVE SYSTEM QUICKLY CLEARS THE AREA TOWARD
MIDNIGHT. WILL CARRY CHANCE POPS DURING THE EVENING ALONG AND WEST
OF THE LOW PATH ACROSS THE WESTERN CWA...WITH LIKELY POPS FURTHER
EAST. WILL DROP POPS ACROSS ALL BUT THE FAR SE AFTER MIDNIGHT...AS
STRONG MID-LEVEL DRYING WORKS INTO THE REGION IN THE WAKE OF THE
UPPER WAVE.

SUNSHINE AND DRY WEATHER WILL PREVAIL ON WEDNESDAY...WITH NEAR TO
SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL TEMPS. MEANWHILE...WESTERN CONUS TROUGH WILL
SLOWLY BEGIN TO APPROACH FROM THE WEST. AS THIS FEATURE
NEARS...FRONTAL BOUNDARY DRAPED ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY WILL LIFT
BACK NORTHWARD WEDNESDAY NIGHT...RESULTING IN INCREASING RAIN
CHANCES. BOTH NAM-WRF/GFS KEEP PRECIP JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA UNTIL
AFTER MIDNIGHT...SO WILL CONTINUE WITH DRY FORECAST FOR THE
EVENING. RAIN AND ISOLATED THUNDER WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE ENTIRE
AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT...AS LOW-LEVEL WARM/MOIST ADVECTION INCREASES
AND BOUNDARY LIFTS INTO CENTRAL ILLINOIS.

LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT...AS
DEEPENING UPPER TROUGH APPROACHES FROM THE SOUTHWEST. MODELS
CONTINUE TO SHOW THE UPPER FEATURE CLOSING OFF OVER THE CENTRAL
ROCKIES THURSDAY MORNING...WHICH WOULD SUPPORT A SLOWER NORTHEASTWARD
PROGRESSION AND A LONGER DURATION RAIN EVENT. PLENTY OF MOISTURE
WILL FLOW NORTHWARD FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO IN ADVANCE OF THIS
FEATURE...PRODUCING WIDESPREAD RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
CENTRAL ILLINOIS ON THURSDAY. PRIMARY SEVERE THREAT APPEARS TO
REMAIN FURTHER SOUTH ACROSS ARKANSAS AND SOUTHERN MISSOURI...WHERE
ATMOSPHERE WILL BECOME MUCH MORE UNSTABLE DURING THE DAY. NAM-WRF
DEPICTS THIS SCENARIO QUITE WELL...INCLUDING KEYING IN ON LINE OF
POTENTIALLY SEVERE CONVECTION DEVELOPING IN ADVANCE OF THE SURFACE
COLD FRONT ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS/NORTHWEST ARKANSAS DURING THE
LATE AFTERNOON. THIS ACTIVITY WILL THEN SHIFT NORTHEASTWARD AND
COULD IMPACT CENTRAL ILLINOIS LATER THURSDAY EVENING. ONCE THAT
FINAL WAVE OF RAIN/STORMS PUSHES THROUGH...PRECIP WILL LIKELY COME
TO AN END BY EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. BY THE TIME THE RAIN
ENDS...MOST LOCATIONS WILL HAVE PICKED UP BETWEEN ONE AND THREE
INCHES...WITH ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. RAINFALL OF THIS
CALIBER WILL LIKELY WARRANT A FLOOD WATCH...HOWEVER SINCE THIS
EVENT IS STILL IN THE 4TH AND 5TH PERIOD OF THE FORECAST...WILL
HOLD OFF FOR NOW.

DRY SLOT WORKS ITS WAY ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS ON FRIDAY...AS
VERTICALLY STACKED SURFACE/UPPER SYSTEM LIFTS NORTHWARD JUST WEST
OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL RACE ACROSS THE
AREA FRIDAY MORNING...POSSIBLY SETTING OFF A FEW SHOWERS. HAVE
DRASTICALLY REDUCED POPS INTO THE SLIGHT CATEGORY ACROSS ALL BUT
THE FAR NW CWA...WHICH WILL BE IN CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE SURFACE LOW.
MUCH COOLER AIR WILL FILTER IN BEHIND THE FRONT...WITH TEMPS
DROPPING INTO THE 30S AND 40S FRIDAY NIGHT.

LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

A CLOUDY AND UNSEASONABLY COOL WEEKEND IS IN STORE ACROSS THE
REGION...AS DEEP UPPER LOW MEANDERS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN GREAT
LAKES. OVERCAST CONDITIONS AND CHILLY NORTHERLY FLOW WILL KEEP
HIGH TEMPS IN THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 40S ON BOTH SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY. IN ADDITION...WITH AN UPPER VORT LOBE AND ASSOCIATED
SURFACE TROUGH ROTATING SOUTHWARD INTO CENTRAL ILLINOIS...SCATTERED
SHOWERS WILL BE A GOOD BET SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT. WITH 850MB
TEMPS IN THE -3 TO -6C RANGE AND FORECAST PROFILES LARGELY BELOW
FREEZING...SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE SATURDAY NIGHT. AFTER
THAT...UPPER LOW SLOWLY LIFTS NORTHEAST AND HEIGHTS GRADUALLY RISE
EARLY NEXT WEEK. RESULT WILL BE A GRADUAL WARM-UP...WITH TEMPS
GETTING BACK TO NORMAL IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 60S BY TUESDAY.
