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 9, 5:15 PM CST, 2 hours 56 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 9, 5:15 PM CST, 2 hours 56 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
515 PM CST SAT FEB 9 2008

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 258 PM CST SAT FEB 9 2008

MAIN ISSUES ARE THE ARCTIC BLAST TONIGHT...AND THEN THE MESSY WINTER
STORM FOR MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.

MOST MODELS WERE TOO WARM WITH THE ARCTIC AIR AT 12Z...EXCEPT FOR
THE ECMWF. OVERALL...JUST TEMPS AFFECTED DUE TO DIFFS IN THE SHORT
TERM...AND I SIDED WITH THE COLDER EUROPEAN. FOR THE MONDAY
STORM...DIFFS ARE MORE EVIDENT AND HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT ON PRECIP
TYPE AND AMOUNTS. THE OVERALL TREND WITH THE 12Z MODELS WERE TO GO A
LITTLE COLDER AND KEEP THE WARM FRONT FARTHER SOUTH. THE NAM REMAINS
THE WARMEST OF ALL THE MODELS...WITH THE GFS COLDER AND THE ECMWF
THE COLDEST. THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR AT LEAST ADVISORY LEVELS OF SNOW
OR SLEET OR FREEZING RAIN ACROSS OUR CWA ON MONDAY AFTERNOON AND
MONDAY NIGHT...MAINLY SOUTH OF A LINE FROM RUSHVILLE TO CHAMPAIGN.
TOO MUCH UNCERTAINTY FOR A WATCH...BUT WILL KEEP A CLOSE WATCH ON
THE SYSTEM.

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND SUNDAY.

THE ARCTIC FRONT HAS PUSHED ACROSS ALMOST ALL OF IOWA AS OF 20Z.
TEMPS HAVE CLIMBED QUITE WARM AHEAD OF THE FRONT...WHICH MAY IMPACT
OVERNIGHT LOWS A BIT. I DID ADJUST THEM UP SLIGHTLY...BUT THE
STRENGTH OF THE BITTER COLD AIR AND NORTHWEST WINDS SHOULD REMAIN
ENOUGH TO TRIGGER ADVISORY LEVELS OF WIND CHILL LATE TONIGHT AND
SUNDAY MORNING. WILL KEEP THE ADVISORY AS IS AND LET IT EXPIRE AT
NOON SUNDAY.

TEMPS WILL NOT CLIMB MUCH AT ALL ON SUNDAY...DESPITE SOME SUNSHINE.
THAT WILL PUT SUNDAY NIGHT LOWS VERY CLOSE TO THE SAME AS
TONIGHT...BUT WITHOUT THE WIND CHILLS.

LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.

THE NEXT SYSTEM IS BEING SPED UP BY ALL THE MODELS. IT APPEARS MORE
LIKELY THAT PRECIP WILL DEVELOP ON MONDAY AFTERNOON. THE ISENTROPIC
LIFT AND WAA SEEM TO RAPIDLY ERODE ENOUGH OF THE DRY AIR ABOVE THE
ARCTIC AIR TO PRECIPITATE ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND MUCH SOONER THAN
PREVIOUSLY EXPECTED. OVERRUNNING PRECIP WILL POTENTIALLY CAUSE A LOT
OF TRAVEL DIFFICULTIES BY THE END OF THE DAY. A MESSY MIX OF
FREEZING RAIN OR SLEET IS EXPECTED FOR AREAS FROM SPRINGFIELD TO
LAWRENCEVILLE...WITH SNOW AND SLEET UP TO LINCOLN AND DECATUR...WITH
ALL SNOW NORTH OF THAT.

THEN IN THE EVENING...WARMER AIR IS EXPECTED TO SURGE FARTHER NORTH
INTO THE CWA...AS THE SURFACE LOW LIFTS INTO FAR SE MISSOURI OR NE
ARKANSAS. RIGHT NOW...IT APPEARS SNOW WILL CONTINUE NORTH OF A LINE
FROM SPRINGFIELD TO CHAMPAIGN. SOUTH OF THERE...A PERIOD OF HEAVY
SNOW OR SLEET MAY DEVELOP FROM SPRINGFIELD AND SHELBYVILLE NORTHEAST
TO MATTOON AND PARIS. SOUTH OF THERE FREEZING RAIN OR RAIN WILL BE
MORE LIKELY. RIGHT NOW...IT IS POSSIBLE WE MAY REACH WINTER STORM
LEVELS OF SNOW OR SLEET OR ICE ACCUMULATIONS...DEPENDING ON WHAT
PART OF THE CWA YOU ARE IN. THE SOUTH HALF OF THE CWA HAS THE BEST
CHANCES FOR THE WINTRY ACCUMULATIONS. IT NOW APPEARS THE
GALESBURG...PEORIA AND BLOOMINGTON AREAS MAY SEE LIGHTER ACCUMS OF
SNOW.

AFTER MIDNIGHT...THE LOW IS EXPECTED TO MOVE NE TOWARD W KENTUCKY.
SLEET MAY DEVELOP FARTHER NORTH INTO THE SNOW AREA...AND PRECIP MAY
CHANGE TO ALL RAIN IN THE SOUTHEAST. IT REMAINS A VERY DIFFICULT
CALL ON WHAT SCENARIO WILL PLAY OUT...AND I KEPT A WINTRY MIX ACROSS
ALL OF THE SOUTH OVERNIGHT.

TUESDAY MORNING...THE LOW SHOULD PULL FAR ENOUGH EAST THAT COLD AIR
FILTERS EVERYWHERE IN OUR CWA...CHANGING ANY LINGERING PRECIP TO ALL
SNOW. MOST OF THE PRECIP SHOULD BE DONE BY MORNING...BASED ON THE
INCREASED SPEED OF THE SYSTEM. WILL KEEP A CHANCE OF SNOW IN PLACE
FOR NOW...BUT WILL LOWER THE CHANCES SLIGHTLY.

DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR WED AS TEMPERATURES MODERATE BACK
TOWARD NORMAL.

HOWEVER...BY LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING THE NEXT SYSTEM
APPROACHES FROM THE PLAINS. A WARM FRONT IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
ACROSS OUR CWA FROM SW TO NE...WITH A BAND OF SNOW POSSIBLE
NORTHWEST OF THE FRONT...FOR GALESBURG AND PEORIA. WILL ADD CHANCE
POPS FOR THE ILLINOIS RIVER VALLEY THURSDAY NIGHT FOR NOW...WITH
SLIGHT CHANCE ELSEWHERE.

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 515 PM CST SAT FEB 9 2008

LESS FURTHER SOUTH NEAR SPI-DEC-CMI. BAND OF MVFR STRATOCU IS

STRATOCU. NO VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS ARE ANTICIPATED. SKIES SHOULD
