$$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 Sep 13, 9:09 PM CDT, 4 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 13, 9:09 PM CDT, 4 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL 909 PM CDT SAT SEP 13 2008 .DISCUSSION... ISSUED 907 PM CDT SAT SEP 13 2008 REDEVELOPMENT OF CONVECTIVE RAIN CONTINUES IN MO AND MOVES NORTHEAST INTO CWA. RAINFALL AMOUNTS SIGNIFICANT IN AREAS NEAR IL RIVER AND NOW PUSHING TO THE EAST OF RIVER. FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS IN EFFECT. MOISTURE CHANNEL AND RADAR TRENDS SHOW REDEVELOPMENT TO CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AS PROGGED. NO CHANGES TO GRIDS. GOETSCH && .AVIATION... ISSUED 648 PM CDT SAT SEP 13 2008 SATELLITE IMAGERY AND RADAR LOOPS SHOW BAND OF PCPN FROM WEST IL INTO NORTHEAST IL. BAND SHOULD CONTINUE TO SLOWLY ERODE EASTWARD AND BRING HEAVY RAIN AND LOWER CIGS/VIS INTO THE AREA OVERNIGHT. TAFS CONTINUE TO REFLECT TREND OF BRINGING IN LOWER CONDS OVERNIGHT. GOETSCH && .PREV DISCUSSION... ISSUED 306 PM CDT SAT SEP 13 2008 SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY... A PERSISTENT BAND OF RAIN HAS BEEN ONGOING FROM QUINCY TO PEORIA TO CHICAGO FOR MUCH OF THE DAY...AND RAINFALL RATES WILL INCREASE AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM EASTERN IOWA. EXTREMELY HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES /MORE THAN 2.5 INCHES/ WILL STREAM NORTHWARD WITH THE REMNANTS OF IKE...WITH EXCESSIVE RAINFALL A GOOD BET. AGREE WITH HPC QPF AMOUNTS OF 3-5 INCHES STORM TOTAL RAIN FROM PITTSFIELD TO PONTIAC. NHC TRACK GUIDANCE FOR IKE HAS IT INTO SOUTH-CENTRAL MISSOURI BY 12Z SUN AND CONTINUING RAPIDLY ACROSS SOUTH-CENTRAL ILLINOIS DURING THE DAY. IT LOOKS LIKE THE MAIN HEAVY RAIN EVENT WILL HOLD OFF FOR THE EASTERN/SOUTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA UNTIL THE ARRIVAL OF IKE AS THE AFOREMENTIONED COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO ONLY PROGRESS TO AROUND INTERSTATE 55 BY 12Z SUN. WILL THEREFORE DELAY THE START OF THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THOSE AREAS UNTIL 12Z SUN. IN ADDITIONAL TO THE RAIN SITUATION...IKE REMAINS A LARGE TROPICAL CYCLONE AND IT WILL TAKE LONGER THAN USUAL FOR ITS SURFACE WINDS TO SETTLE DOWN. WIND SPEEDS NEAR THE CENTER OF IKE MAY REACH WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA ON SUNDAY...BUT WILL LET THIS DECISION REST WITH THE EARLY MORNING FORECAST PACKAGE TO ASSESS HOW THE WINDS ARE OVER SOUTHERN MISSOURI. AS IKE CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE INTO INDIANA...RAIN WILL TAPER OFF BEGINING IN THE LATE AFTERNOON WEST AND FINISH BY SUNSET IN THE EAST. AFTER THAT...HIGH PRESSURE WILL TAKE HOLD AND BRING A PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY... UPPER RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN STATES WILL PLACE THE MIDWEST IN DRY NORTHWESTERLY FLOW THROUGH FRIDAY. ON THURSDAY...THE GFS TRIES TO BRING A WEAK COLD FRONT SOUTHWARD INTO NORTHERN ILLINOIS AND STALLING IT OUT. THE ECMWF IS THE PREFERRED SOLUTION AS IT BRINGS AN UPPER TROUGH INTO THE WESTERN STATES THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY AND CORRESPONDINGLY PUTS MORE RIDGING OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS...THUS HOLDING THE FRONT FURTHER NORTH. NOT A GREAT DEAL OF CONFIDENCE YET IN THE EVOLUTION/SPEED OF THE WESTERN TROUGH TOWARD THE END OF THE PERIOD...BUT BOTTOM LINE FOR CENTRAL ILLINOIS WILL BE A CONTINUATION OF THE DRY WEATHER WITH SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES. && .ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
