BARNESWhat 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 17, 5:35 PM CST, 2 hours 45 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 17, 5:35 PM CST, 2 hours 45 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL 535 PM CST SUN FEB 17 2008 .DISCUSSION... ISSUED 300 PM CST SUN FEB 17 2008 SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY... MIDWEST SHORTWAVE HAS TAKEN ON A NEGATIVE TILT AND IS NOW ACCELERATING RAPIDLY INTO THE GREAT LAKES. SURFACE LOW IS MOVING ACROSS LAKE MICHIGAN AND PACIFIC FRONT/DRY LINE IS JUST ABOUT EAST OF THE AREA. CANADIAN AIR IS NOW WRAPPING INTO CENTRAL ILLINOIS... AND THIS WILL CHANGE ANY LINGERING SHOWERS INTO LIGHT SNOW EARLY THIS EVENING. STRONG SUBSIDENCE ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE LOW ALONG WITH THE CONTINUED TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL KEEP WINDS UP INTO THE EVENING HOURS...SO WILL EXTEND THE WIND ADVISORY FOR EASTERN ILLINOIS UNTIL 9PM. HEAVY SNOW BAND WITHIN THE TROWAL/DEFORMATION ZONE EXTENDS FROM EASTERN IOWA INTO SOUTHERN WISCONSIN...AND WILL REMAIN TO OUR NORTH AND NORTHWEST TONIGHT. EXTENSIVE AREA OF WRAP-AROUND LOW CLOUDS/LIGHT SNOW EXTENDS SOUTH FROM THE HEAVY SNOW BAND INTO CENTRAL MISSOURI. SO EXPECT LIGHT SNOW TO CONTINUE OFF AND ON THROUGH MUCH OF THE NIGHT WITH LITTLE OR NO ACCUMULATION. WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS SHORTWAVE ENERGY ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE UPPER TROUGH MOVING SOUTHWARD INTO NORTH DAKOTA...WHICH WILL KEEP SCATTERED FLURRIES GOING INTO MONDAY AS WELL. AN ALBERTA CLIPPER WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE NORTHERN PLAINS ON TUESDAY AND PASS THROUGH NORTHERN ILLINOIS/SOUTHERN WISCONSIN TUESDAY NIGHT. THE NAM/GFS MODELS ARE PAINTING A LITTLE QPF WITH THIS FEATURE TUESDAY NIGHT...BUT THE BETTER CHANCE OF ACCUMULATING SNOW WILL BE TO OUR NORTH CLOSER TO THE UPPER VORT MAX. WILL THEREFORE KEEP POPS LOW TUESDAY NIGHT FOR NOW. A REINFORCING SURGE OF CANADIAN AIR WILL ACCOMPANY THE CLIPPER AND KEEP MAXES ON WEDNESDAY IN THE TEENS ACROSS THE NORTH AND AROUND 30 SOUTHEAST. LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY... LONGER RANGE MODELS HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH HOW FAR SOUTH TO PUSH THE COLD FRONT ONCE IT MOVES PAST ILLINOIS WEDNESDAY NIGHT. CONSIDERING THE STRENGTH OF THE SURFACE HIGH THAT WILL COME SOUTH BEHIND THE FRONT...EXPECT THE SLOWING BAROCLINIC ZONE TO BE FAR ENOUGH SOUTH OF THE AREA TO MITIGATE ANY MENTIONABLE POPS THIS FAR NORTH. THE 12Z RUNS OF THE GFS AND ECMWF MODELS AGREE WITH THIS. BY THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY...THE NEXT UPPER WAVE WILL BE CROSSING THE ROCKIES AND MOVING INTO THE PLAINS. THIS WILL SLOWLY ERODE THE COLD AIR DOME FROM WEST TO EAST AND RESULT IN PRECIPITATION MAKING ITS WAY SLOWLY NORTHWARD FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. THE GFS AND ECMWF MODELS ARE STILL HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH THE DETAILS...BUT THE OVERALL PATTERN WILL FAVOR AN INCREASE IN THE CHANGES FOR RAIN AND/OR SNOW FOR LATE IN THE WEEK. && .AVIATION... ISSUED 530 PM CST SUN FEB 17 2008 MVFR CIGS TO PREVAIL THRU MOST OF THIS FCST PERIOD WITH OCCASIONAL SNOW SHOWERS AS THE DEEP STORM SYSTEM MOVES AWAY FROM THE MIDWEST. BROAD CYCLONIC FLOW WILL CONTINUE BRINGING GUSTY WINDS TO THE AREA THRU THE NIGHT...BUT NOT NEARLY AS STRONG AS THE WINDS THIS AFTN IN THE WARM SECTOR AND AHEAD OF THE SCATTERED CONVECTION. AS FAR AS PRECIP IS CONCERNED...RADAR MOSAIC SHOWING SOME WDLY SCATTERED FLURRIES OR SNOW SHOWERS TO OUR WEST...AND A FEW OF THOSE SHOULD MAKE IT ACRS THE TAF SITES THIS EVENING AND AGAIN OVERNIGHT...BUT COVERAGE LOOKS TO BE SPOTTY AT BEST. SFC WINDS...CURRENTLY OUT OF THE WEST AND NORTHWEST AT 20 TO 30 KTS WITH OCCASIONAL HIGHER GUSTS SHOULD CONTINUE FROM A WESTERLY DIRECTION THRU THE PERIOD. SPEEDS WL COME DOWN SOME OVERNIGHT...GENERALLY AVERAGING FROM 15 TO 25 KTS LATER THIS EVENING THRU MONDAY. SMITH && .ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
