AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
845 PM CST TUE JAN 8 2008

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 837 PM CST TUE JAN 8 2008

BAND OF LIGHT RAIN...OCCASIONALLY MIXED WITH A LITTLE SNOW
CONTINUED TO MARCH STEADILY EWD ACRS CNTRL IL EARLY THIS
EVENING. THE BAND OF PRECIP WAS JUST AHEAD OF THE 500 MB
TROF AXIS AND THAT SHOULD TRACK EAST OF OUR AREA BY MIDNIGHT
FOLLOWED BY CLEARING SKIES AND COLDER TEMPERATURES. FAIRLY
DECENT 3 HRLY PRES RISES JUST BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WITH THE
BEST RISES (+6 TO +8 MBS) FROM STL SOUTH TO MEMPHIS. THE
COLD FRONT AS OF 01Z HAD JUST PASSED LAWRENCEVILLE WITH
WIND GUSTS APPRCHG 50 MPH JUST AHEAD OF THE RISE COUPLET.
WINDS SHOULD BEGIN TO DECREASE FROM WEST TO EAST LATE TNT
AS HIGH PRESSURE PUSHES IN FROM THE MISSOURI VALLEY. HAVE
MADE SOME CHANGES TO THE HOURLY TEMP GRIDS AND SKY GRIDS
BASED ON EVENING TRENDS AND WILL START TO CUT BACK ON
MENTIONABLE PRECIP...ESP ACRS THE WEST AS THE DRIER AIR
CONTINUES TO PUSH IN RAPIDLY THIS EVENING.

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 535 PM CST TUE JAN 8 2008

COLD FRONT CURRENTLY JUST EAST OF I-57 AND SHOULD PUSH EAST OF THE
STATE BORDER OVER THE NEXT SVL HOURS. BAND OF POST-FRONTAL SHOWERS
STRETCHING FROM EFFINGHAM NE TO WEST OF CMI MAY AFFECT CMI OVR THE
NEXT HOUR OR SO WITH SOME IFR CIGS MOVING IN THRU 04Z. LATEST
SATELLITE TRENDS SUGGEST CLEARING MOVING IN BETWEEN 06Z AND 09Z
TNT AS SFC WINDS REMAIN RATHER GUSTY OUT OF THE NW THRU THE
EVENING HOURS. A FEW GUSTS UP TO 25 KTS POSSIBLE THIS EVENING AS
THE COLDER AIR MOVES IN. ONCE VFR CONDITIONS MOVE IN LATE TNT...IT
SHOULD PREVAIL THRU THE REMAINDER OF THE FCST PERIOD. ALTHOUGH DRIER
AIR IS ADVECTING IN FRM THE NW TNT...WL HAVE TO WATCH FOR THE PSBLTY
OF SOME FOG BY DAWN AS THE SFC FLOW BECOMES LIGHT. FOR NOW...WL KEEP
THAT OUT OF THE TAFS AND SEE WHAT THE EVENING TRENDS SHOW OUT
WEST.

.PREV DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 231 PM CST TUE JAN 8 2008
TWO GENERAL AREAS OF LOW PRESSURE AT THE SFC TODAY...ONE IN SRN WI
AND ANOTHER IN E CENTRAL MO. WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY DRAPED BTWN THE
TWO OF THEM. SOME PRECIP OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT...STILL CONTINUING
FROM LAST NIGHTS ACTIVITY. SOME WEAK SHOWERY ACTIVITY ALSO
CONTINUING BEHIND THE FRONT...AS WEAK WRAP AROUND ON THE BACK SIDE
OF THE LOW. A BIT OF A BREAK FOR THE AREA FROM HEAVY PRECIP WILL
KEEP THE BOUNDARY LAYER SOMEWHAT MOIST THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS
THOUGH THE AIR MOVING IN FROM THE NW IS A BIT DRIER. NOT TOO MANY
FORECAST ISSUES AFTER THIS SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH THE REGION UNTIL
THURSDAY WHEN ANOTHER LOW HEADS OUR WAY.

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND TOMORROW...
SOME SHOWERY ACTIVITY LIKELY TO CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING
HOURS...WITH A CHANCE OF SOME FLAKES ACTUALLY FALLING IN AREAS
NW OF THE ILLINOIS RIVER VALLEY CLOSER TO MIDNIGHT. NOT A LOT
EXPECTED IN THE WAY OF ACCUMULATION AS THE SHOWERS WILL BE LIGHT
AND THE GROUND IS ALREADY SO WET AND STILL A BIT WARM. SHOWERS
SHOULD END ACROSS THE AREA BY MIDNIGHT...AND LEAVE A RATHER COOL
EARLY MORNING...ESPECIALLY IN THE NW WHERE THE CLOUDS SHOULD BREAK
UP A BIT WITH THE DRIER AIR BEHIND THE SYSTEM. TOMORROW LIKELY TO
BE A BIT COOLER THAN DAYS PAST...BUT STILL RATHER MODERATE WITH
HIGHS IN THE MID 40S AND A BIT OF SUNSHINE.

LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY...
NEXT SYSTEM ON ITS WAY ON THURSDAY AS ANOTHER TROF MOVES ACROSS
THE COUNTRYS MIDSECTION. SFC LOW EJECTS OUT OF THE SRN HIGH PLAINS
LATE THURSDAY AND SPINS UP AS IT PASSES OVER THE MIDWEST AND INTO
THE NE...A FAMILIAR PATTERN THIS WINTER. AT THIS POINT...BOTH THE
ECMWF AND THE GFS ARE PASSING THE MAIN LOW ACROSS THE SRN PORTIONS
OF THE CWA...AND LEAVING MUCH OF THE MAIN ACTIVITY TO THE
SOUTH...WITH ILX GETTING A LITTLE MORE THAN THE WRAP AROUND
MOISTURE. AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM EVEN...THE MOISTURE TAP IS NOT VERY
WIDE OPEN OUT OF THE GULF STATES. EVOLUTION OF THE MOISTURE FLOW
IN THIS SYSTEM WILL BE KEY. AT THIS POINT... GOOD LL MOISTURE
DOES NOT CATCH UP WITH THE DYNAMICS UNTIL AFTER THE SFC TROF MOVES
THROUGH THE MIDWEST. NOT GOING WITH A WIDESPREAD HIGH POP AS A
RESULT...THURSDAY NIGHT WITH THE HIGHEST...AND TEMPERING THE POPS
BACK AFTER 00Z.

SOMEWHAT COOLER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SYSTEM...THOUGH NOT
DRASTIC EITHER. MODELS RATHER DIRTY WITH THE WAVES AND PRECIP
RATHER SCATTERED ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. NEXT BEST CHANCE FOR SOLID
PRECIP FOR THE REGION WILL BE SUNDAY AS A RATHER DEEP TROF MOVES
THROUGH THE MIDWEST. MAIN ISSUE WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BE
TIMING...AS THE CANADIAN AND GFS ARE SPLITTING THE FLOW AT
H5...KEEPING A CLOSED OFF LOW SPINNING OUT OVER THE DESERT SW.
ECMWF IS MAINTAINING MORE CONSOLIDATED FLOW...AND PROGRESSING THE
LOW AS A DEEP TROF THROUGH THE MIDSECTION.
