What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 3, 9:06 PM CDT, 1 hour 48 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 3, 9:06 PM CDT, 1 hour 48 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
906 PM CDT TUE JUN 3 2008

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 906 PM CDT TUE JUN 3 2008

SHOWERS/STORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN...SOME STORMS PRODUCING SEVERE
WEATHER...ARE MOVING ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS LATE THIS EVENING.
THE STRONGEST STORMS ARE FOCUSED ALONG AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM
STORMS EARLIER IN THE DAY...PRIMARILY ALONG THE I-72 CORRIDOR.
ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT REMAINS POSSIBLE THROUGH THE NIGHT AS A
SURFACE WAVE MOVES ALONG THE BOUNDARY...AND AS AN UPPER WAVE
APPROACHES FROM THE PLAINS.

GOING FORECAST LOOKS FINE AT THIS TIME. AN UPDATE WILL BE MADE
LATER FOR CONVECTIVE/WATCH TRENDS.

BAK
&&

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 643 PM CDT TUE JUN 3 2008

SHOWERS/STORMS DEVELOPING RAPIDLY OVER MISSOURI/EXTREME WESTERN
ILLINOIS EARLY THIS EVENING. THIS CONVECTION WILL BEGIN TO IMPACT
THE CENTRAL ILLINOIS TERMINALS OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. SOME OF
THE STORMS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME SEVERE. PRECIPITATION
THREAT SHOULD DIMINISH OVERNIGHT...BUT CIGS/VSBYS WILL DROP INTO
THE MVFR AND POSSIBLY IFR CATEGORY. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE BACK
TO VFR WEDNESDAY AS WINDS PICK UP FROM THE SOUTH. ADDITIONAL
CONVECTION IS POSSIBLE WITH AFTERNOON HEATING WEDNESDAY...BUT
CONFIDENCE IN THE DETAILS IS TOO LOW TO CARRY IN THE TERMINALS AT
THIS TIME.

BAK
&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 300 PM CDT TUE JUN 3 2008

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM CONVECTION THIS MORNING LIES ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA...THEN BACK WESTWARD INTO
EASTERN MISSOURI. AIRMASS BETWEEN KEOKUK IA AND COLUMBIA MO IS
RECOVERING RAPIDLY AND LITTLE CONVECTIVE INHIBITION REMAINS OUT
THERE. MOISTURE/SHEAR/INSTABILITY ARE NO PROBLEM...AND EXPECT NEXT
ROUND OF SEVERE CONVECTION TO DEVELOP OVER EASTERN MISSOURI SOON. IT
MAY BE A BIT LATER THIS FAR EAST WHERE THE AIRMASS IS STILL PRETTY
OVERTURNED BY THE STORMS EARLIER. THE NEW STORMS SHOULD MOVE
EAST-NORTHEAST ALONG/NORTH OF AFOREMENTIONED BOUNDARY WITH A
SIGNIFICANT RISK FOR DISCREET SUPERCELLS AT LEAST DURING THE INITIAL
HOURS OF THE EVENT. HEAVY RAINFALL POTENTIAL LOOKS HIGH ACROSS AREAS
THAT ARE ALREADY SUPERSATURATED FROM EARLIER STORMS. WILL THEREFORE
ISSUE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING FOR THE
SOUTHERN TWO-THIRDS OF THE AREA.

AS WAS THE CASE TODAY...CONVECTIVE TRENDS TONIGHT WILL HAVE A
SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON WEDNESDAY. IT STILL
APPEARS THAT THE SYNOPTIC BOUNDARY WILL BE IN THE AREA...NOT TO
MENTION ANY OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM TONIGHTS STUFF. LIKELY POPS ARE
WARRANTED OVER MUCH OF CENTRAL ILLINOIS EXCEPT FOR PERHAPS THE
SOUTHEAST...WHERE THERE IS A CHANCE THAT THEY MAY BE CAPPED OFF TO
ANYTHING MORE THAN SCATTERED CELLS.

AS PRESSURES FALL OVER THE PLAINS...THE MAIN FRONT SHOULD LIFT NORTH
AND LEAVE CENTRAL ILLINOIS HOT AND CAPPED THURSDAY AND AT LEAST THE
EARLY PART OF FRIDAY. THE ECMWF/GFS AS WELL AS THE NAM HAVE BEEN IN
GENERAL AGREEMENT ON SLOWING THE FRIDAY FRONT A LITTLE...AND EXPECT
THE MAIN THREAT FOR CONVECTION TO BE IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
WILL CONTINUE WITH HEALTHY POPS FOR THAT TIMEFRAME.

LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY
A SIMILAR EVOLUTION OF THE FRIDAY COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED AS WHAT IS
HAPPENING WITH THE CURRENT FRONT...WITH THE BOUNDARY STALLING
SOMEWHERE OVER THE MIDWEST THEN LIFTING NORTH BY SUNDAY. CHANCE POPS
WILL BE INCLUDED FOR THE SOUTHEAST HALF ON SATURDAY NEAR THE TAIL OF
THE STALLING FRONT...THEN DRY AND HOT FOR SUNDAY. THE ECMWF IS
HINTING THAT THE FRONT MAY SLIP SOUTH INTO ILLINOIS ON MONDAY...BUT
CONFIDENCE IS QUITE LOW THAT FAR IN ADVANCE.
