AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
256 PM CST MON JAN 7 2008

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 256 PM CST MON JAN 7 2008

THE STRONG SPRING-LIKE STORM SYSTEM FOR TONIGHT AND TUESDAY IS THE
MAIN CONCERN. THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS...AND A
TORNADO WATCH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 03Z. THERE ALSO IS A FLOODING
POTENTIAL WITH 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN POSSIBLE. CONSIDERING A FLOOD
WATCH FOR AREAS NORTHWEST OF A LINE FROM SPI TO CMI. THEN
ATTENTION TURNS TO A SYSTEM FOR THURSDAY AND ANOTHER ON SUNDAY.

OUR CWA REMAINS IN VERY WARM AIR...WITH A SHARP DROP OFF JUST TO
THE NORTHWEST IN IOWA...ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STATIONARY
BOUNDARY. A FEW SPOTS ARE CLOSE TO BREAKING THEIR RECORD WARM LOW
FOR TODAY. THOSE SAME LOCATIONS WILL MOST LIKELY BE JUST SHY OF
THE RECORD HIGHS.

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND TUESDAY NIGHT.

SHOWERS HAVE DEVELOPED NORTHWEST OF THE ILLINOIS RIVER...CLOSER TO
THE STATIONARY FRONT. WIND SHEAR IS INCREASING ACROSS OUR WESTERN
CWA...AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ARE ERUPTING IN THE INSTABILITY
AXIS. THE STRONG BULK SHEAR WILL AID IN PRODUCING SOME ROTATING
THUNDERSTORMS...WHICH WILL INCREASE THE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER.
HAIL AND STRAIGHT LINE WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN ADDITION TO A FEW
TORNADOES...PRIMARILY NORTHWEST OF A LINE FROM JACKSONVILLE TO
BLOOMINGTON. THE THREAT WILL SHIFT EASTWARD LATER TONIGHT...AS THE
SURFACE LOW IN NORTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO MOVES QUICKLY UP THE
BOUNDARY TOWARD WESTERN ILLINOIS. ENHANCED MOISTURE CONVERGENCE IS
EXPECTED ALONG WITH AN EROSION OF THE STABLE LOW BOUNDARY LAYER.
SURFACE BASED CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP...INCREASING THE CHANCES FOR
DAMAGING WINDS TO REACH THE GROUND.

THE MODELS HAVE CONVERGED TOWARD A SLIGHTLY SLOWER EASTWARD
MOVEMENT OF THE SYSTEM. THIS APPEARS REASONABLE...BASED ON THE
TIMING AND PATH OF THE NEXT SURFACE LOW...A BIT FARTHER WEST THAN
THE LAST MODEL RUNS. THAT WILL MOST LIKELY KEEP THE HEAVIER RAINS
OUT OF OUR SOUTHEASTERN AREAS UNTIL LATE TONIGHT OR TUESDAY
MORNING. THEREFORE...I PULLED POPS BACK TO LIKELY SOUTH OF I-70
TONIGHT...WITH CATEGORICAL POPS ON TUESDAY. THE HEAVIEST RAINS
APPEAR TO BE TONIGHT...BEFORE THE SURFACE LOW MOVES OVER OUR CWA
ON TUESDAY. TRAINING STORMS WILL BE MOST LIKELY NW OF SPI TO CMI
TONIGHT...AS THE BOUNDARY MAKES ONLY SLOW PROGRESS EASTWARD.

SOME HEAVY RAINS WILL BE POSSIBLE SOUTHEAST OF SPI TO CMI...MAINLY
LATE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON...AS THE LOW PULLS OUT OF
ILLINOIS AND MOVES THE FRONT EASTWARD. HOWEVER...THERE WILL BE
LESS TRAINING OF STORMS FOR A PROLONGED TIME FOR THE
SOUTHEAST...AS THE FRONT WILL BE MAKING STEADY MOVEMENT EASTWARD
BY TUE AFTERNOON.

COLD AIR WILL BEGIN TO WRAP IN ON THE NW SIDE OF THE SYSTEM
TUESDAY EVENING...BUT PRECIP WILL BE SHUTTING DOWN BY THEN...SO
VERY LITTLE IN THE WAY OF MEASURABLE SNOW IS EXPECTED FOR AREAS NW
OF THE ILL RIVER.

LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY.

A BREAK IN THE ACTION IS EXPECTED FOR WEDNESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE
MOVES OVER ILLINOIS...AND PROVIDES SOME SUNSHINE.

CONFIDENCE IS LOW ON THE TRACK OF THE NEXT SURFACE LOW FOR
THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT. THE 12Z GFS NOW TAKES THE LOW
DIRECTLY OVER OUR CWA THUR AFTERNOON. THAT IS THE THIRD DIFFERENT
SOLUTION OVER THE LAST 3 DAYS. THE ECMWF HAS BEEN A LITTLE MORE
CONSISTENT IN KEEPING THE LOW SOUTH OF OUR AREA...AND PULLING AN
INVERTED TROUGH ACROSS OUR CWA. THERE IS TOO MUCH UNCERTAINTY TO
MAKE MANY CHANGES TO THE GOING LOW POP FORECAST FOR THUR AND THUR
NIGHT. IT APPEARS MOST OF THE CWA WILL BE TOO WARM FOR SNOW...BUT
THE TRACK OF THE LOW WILL PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN THE PLACEMENT OF
THE RAIN SNOW LINE.

SOME DIFFERENCES REMAIN BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECMWF FOR THE SUNDAY
SYSTEM AS WELL. THEY DO AGREE BETTER ON KEEPING THE MAIN LOW WELL
SOUTHEAST OF ILLINOIS...BUT DIFFERENCES CONTINUE WITH THE
RESULTANT WEATHER FOR OUR CWA AS THE INVERTED TROUGH PASSES. WILL
KEEP SOME LOW CHANCE POPS IN THE SE HALF OF OUR CWA SUNDAY AND
SUNDAY NIGHT FOR NOW...WITH SLIGHT CHANCES ELSEWHERE.

A GRADUAL COOL DOWN TOWARD NORMAL TEMPS WILL OCCUR THIS WEEK.
HOWEVER...WE WILL LIKELY REMAIN A LITTLE ABOVE NORMAL EVEN BY
NEXT MONDAY.
