What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Lincoln, IL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Feb 5, 10:48 AM CST, 4 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 5, 10:48 AM CST, 4 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
1048 AM CST TUE FEB 5 2008

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 1040 AM CST TUE FEB 5 2008

STRONG SHORTWAVE MOVING ACROSS THE GREAT PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON...
WITH WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWING BLOSSOMING AREA OF CONVECTION
ACROSS MO/IA IN AREA OF RICH MID-LEVEL MOISTURE TRANSPORT AND
STEEP ISENTROPIC LIFT UP AND OVER QUASI-STATIONARY BOUNDARY THAT
IS DRAPED ALONG THE I-70/I-44 CORRIDOR.

LEADING EDGE OF MODERATE RAIN WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS IS
EDGING INTO THE SOUTHERN THIRD OF THE CWA... JUST ABOUT UP TO A
SPI-DEC-MTO LINE. RAIN SHOULD MOVE UP TO A PIA-BMI-CMI LINE BY
NOON.

OVERALL FORECAST HANDLES THIS VERY WELL. WILL MAKE MINOR
ADJUSTMENTS TO MAX T AND INCREASE QPF ACROSS THE WEST AS WELL
CONSIDERING WHAT IS COMING IN.

HARDIMAN

&&

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 553 AM CST TUE FEB 5 2008

A STRONG STORM SYSTEM WILL LIFT ACROSS THE CENTRAL ILLINOIS TERMINALS
DURING THE 12Z TAF PERIOD. SINCE MOST OF THE SNOW HAS MELTED...THE
FOG IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE AS DENSE AS YESTERDAY. HOWEVER...
LIFR/IFR CONDITIONS WILL STILL BE THE RULE. PRECIPITATION WILL
BREAK OUT DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS AND LINGER AT LEAST THROUGH
THE EVENING. THE PRECIPITATION WILL INITIALLY FALL AS RAIN...OR
POSSIBLY FREEZING RAIN AT KPIA/KBMI...AND TRANSITION TO SNOW AS
THE NIGHT GOES ON. SOME THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE AS WELL...
MAINLY ACROSS KSPI/KDEC/KCMI TERMINALS...DURING THE LATE
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING HOURS.

BAK

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 206 AM CST TUE FEB 5 2008

VERY ACTIVE SHORT-TERM SHAPING UP ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST
ILLINOIS...AS VIGOROUS STORM SYSTEM TRACKS FROM THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS INTO THE OHIO VALLEY TONIGHT. HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE LIKELY
ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA...WHILE STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST KILX CWA. MEANWHILE...BAND
OF DEFORMATION ZONE SNOW WILL IMPACT THE ILLINOIS RIVER VALLEY
TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY.

LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS LOW PRESSURE LIFTING INTO NORTHEAST
ILLINOIS...WITH TRAILING FRONT EXTENDING SOUTHWESTWARD TO ANOTHER
DEVELOPING AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ACROSS THE TEXAS PANHANDLE.
ALOFT...TROUGH CONTINUES TO DEEPEN ACROSS THE DESERT SOUTHWEST...WHILE
FLOW BECOMES INCREASINGLY SOUTHWESTERLY OVER THE MIDWEST.

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY

FRONTAL BOUNDARY CURRENTLY ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS WILL SETTLE
SOUTHWARD INTO THE SOUTHEAST KILX CWA THIS MORNING...TAKING THE
MAIN BAND OF RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH IT. FURTHER NORTH...A
LULL IN THE PRECIP WILL BE NOTED DURING THE MORNING HOURS...WITH
PERHAPS A FEW SCATTERED SHOWERS. AREAS OF FOG WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE MORNING...HOWEVER VISIBILITIES MAY TEND TO IMPROVE AS
SOMEWHAT DRIER LOW-LEVEL AIR FILTERS IN FROM THE NORTHWEST. EVEN
STILL...WITH ALL THE MOISTURE LEFT BEHIND FROM THE RAPID SNOWMELT
AND LAST EVENINGS RAIN...WILL BE LEAVING THE DENSE FOG ADVISORY IN
EFFECT THROUGH NOON.

SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES STILL EXIST AMONG THE MODELS REGARDING THE
DEVELOPING STORM SYSTEM ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS TODAY. THE
GENERAL TREND HAS BEEN TO SLOW THE FEATURE...HOWEVER THE BIG
QUESTION IS TO WHAT EXTENT. BASED ON 00Z UPPER AIR ANALYSIS...THE
UPPER TROUGH ACROSS THE WESTERN CONUS APPEARS TO STILL BE
DIGGING...THUS SUPPORTING A SLOWER EVOLUTION. 00Z 5 FEB GFS DOES
NOT LATCH ONTO THIS TREND...WHILE THE NAM-WRF TAKES IT TO AN
EXTREME BY SLOWING BY ABOUT 6 TO 12 HOURS FROM ITS PREVIOUS RUNS.
MEANWHILE...THE ECMWF/CANADIAN REPRESENTS A MORE REASONABLE MIDDLE
OF THE ROAD SOLUTION...WHICH WILL BE FOLLOWED FOR THIS FORECAST
PACKAGE.

LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK FROM OKLAHOMA INTO SOUTHEAST MISSOURI BY
00Z WED...RESULTING IN RAIN OVERSPREADING THE ENTIRE KILX CWA
DURING THE AFTERNOON. BEST INSTABILITY WILL EXIST ACROSS EAST
CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST ILLINOIS...WHERE LATEST DAY 1 OUTLOOK FROM
SPC INDICATES SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE. FURTHER NORTH...MUCH MORE
STABLE AIRMASS WILL RESULT IN MAINLY RAIN...WITH PERHAPS A RUMBLE
OF THUNDER. WITH STRONG LLJ TRANSPORTING DEEP MOISTURE NORTHWARD
FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO...POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR HEAVY RAINFALL
LATER TODAY INTO TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND EAST OF I-55.
CURRENT FLOOD WATCH COVERS THIS THREAT WELL AND WILL NOT BE
ALTERED.

ONCE LOW TRACKS INTO THE OHIO VALLEY...COLDER AIR WILL BEGIN TO
FILTER IN FROM THE NORTHWEST THIS EVENING. FORECAST SOUNDINGS
SUGGEST A PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN ALONG AND NORTHWEST OF THE
ILLINOIS RIVER BETWEEN 00Z AND 06Z...BEFORE THE PROFILE COOLS
ENOUGH TO SUPPORT ALL SNOW AFTER MIDNIGHT. FURTHER EAST AND
SOUTH...RAIN WILL CONTINUE FOR THE BALANCE OF THE EVENING...BEFORE
MIXING WITH SNOW AFTER MIDNIGHT ACROSS LOCATIONS WEST OF I-57.
DEFORMATION ZONE STILL EXPECTED TO SET UP ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS
INTO IOWA THIS EVENING...THEN GRADUALLY SHIFT E/NE ACROSS THE
NORTHWEST KILX CWA OVERNIGHT. END RESULT WILL BE A PERIOD OF
SNOW...MAINLY ALONG AND NORTH OF A RUSHVILLE TO MINONK LINE. BASED
ON EXPECTED QPF...SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WILL LIKELY RANGE BETWEEN 2
AND 4 INCHES ACROSS THIS AREA...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS. BASED
ON THE SNOWFALL AND THE EXPECTED PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN...WILL BE
ISSUING A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR ALL COUNTIES CURRENTLY UNDER
THE WINTER STORM WATCH.

LIGHT SNOW WILL CONTINUE INTO WEDNESDAY...BEFORE TAPERING OFF AND
COMING TO AN END BY LATE AFTERNOON. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO
THE REGION BEHIND THE STORM SYSTEM...RESULTING IN CLEARING AND
COLDER WEATHER WEDNESDAY NIGHT. WILL UNDERCUT NUMERIC GUIDANCE BY
A FEW DEGREES FOR OVERNIGHT LOWS...DUE TO EXPECTED SNOW COVER.
NEXT SYSTEM QUICKLY APPROACHES ON THURSDAY...HOWEVER IT CONTINUES
TO LOOK WEAK AND MOISTURE STARVED...SO WILL ONLY MENTION SLIGHT
CHANCE POPS AT THIS TIME.

LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY

COOL AND DRY WEATHER EXPECTED THROUGH THE EXTENDED. BOTH GFS/ECMWF
BRING FAST-MOVING DISTURBANCES THROUGH THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT AND
SATURDAY NIGHT...HOWEVER THESE FEATURES ARE QUITE WEAK...SO WILL
MAINTAIN CURRENT DRY FORECAST THROUGH MONDAY.
