$$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, 12:31 PM CST, 47 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 5, 12:31 PM CST, 47 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL 1231 PM 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 1222 PM CST TUE FEB 5 2008 BAND OF MODERATE RAIN WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS MOVING UP FROM THE SOUTH... SHOULD MOVE INTO BMI/CMI BETWEEN 18Z-19Z. EXPECT THIS WILL HELP TO BREAK UP THE DENSE FOG THAT REMAINS AT THOSE TWO TERMINALS...HOWEVER CIGS WILL REMAIN IFR THROUGH THE PERIOD. EMBEDDED THUNDER SEEMS TO BE LIMITED TO RIGHT NEAR THE VORT MAX WHICH SHOWS UP NICELY ON RADAR... AND ALONG THE BACK EDGE OF THE PRECIP. ATTEMPTED TO TIME THIS INTO TAF SITES... MAINLY CARRIED AS VCTS EXCEPT TEMPO TS AT SPI AND DEC. SPI BEING CLOSE TO THE VORT MAX TRACK AND DEC BEING DOWNSTREAM OF CURRENT CG STRIKES. BIG DRY SLOT BETWEEN IMPULSES... THOUGH THIS IS LIKELY TO STAY SOUTH OF A PIA-BMI LINE BASED ON CURRENT TRENDS. ENTIRE AREA WILL BE IN BROAD AREA OF STEEP ISENTROPIC LIFT WITH PLENTY OF MOISTURE... SO CANNOT OUTRULE SHOWERS REDEVELOPING WITHIN THE DRY SLOT... SO KEPT SHRA IN THE TAFS FOR SPI/DEC FOR LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING. CONVECTION WITH THE SECOND IMPULSE IS REALLY JUST STARTING TO GET GOING NOW ACROSS SW MO/NE OK... AND EXPECT THIS WILL BEGIN TO BLOSSOM LIKE THE FIRST IMPULSE DID OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS... THUS SHORTENING ANY PRECIP-FREE WINDOW SIGNIFICANTLY. HARDIMAN && .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.
