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 Jul 8, 3:37 PM CDT, 2 hours 46 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 8, 3:37 PM CDT, 2 hours 46 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED...
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
337 PM CDT TUE JUL 8 2008

.UPDATE...
ISSUED 337 PM CDT TUE JUL 8 2008

STORMS ARE BECOMING ALIGNED FROM NORTH OF COLUMBIA MO TO SOUTH OF
PEORIA. THE ORIENTATION IS ALONG THE STORM MOTION VECTOR WHICH WILL
GREATLY ENHANCE THE FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL TONIGHT. HAVE ISSUED A
FLASH FLOOD WATCH ALONG AND SOUTHEAST OF THE STORMS THROUGH TONIGHT.
HAVE NOT EXTENDED IT INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN COUNTIES YET...BUT WILL
MONITOR FOR THE NEED OF AN EXTENSION.

04
&&

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 222 PM CDT TUE JUL 8 2008

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...
PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH EXTENDING FROM KANSAS CITY EASTWARD TO NEAR
PEORIA HAS BECOME ACTIVE WITH CONVECTION SINCE THERE HAS BEEN A FEW
HOURS FOR THE PREVIOUSLY OVERTURNED MORNING AIRMASS TO RECOVER.
EXPECT STORMS TO CONTINUE TO SPREAD EAST AND INCREASE IN AERIAL
COVERAGE THIS EVENING. HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER
LOCALIZED CELL-TRAINING AREAS...BUT THE HIGHER COVERAGE OF RAINFALL
AMOUNTS OVER FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE VALUES WILL BE TO THE SOUTH AND
WEST OF THE FORECAST AREA. ALONG WITH THE HEAVY RAINFALL...THE
PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL BE VERY FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND
STRONG WET MICROBURSTS. HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ALONG WITH
MODERATE INSTABILITY WILL CREATE FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR ENHANCED
WATER-LOADING AND RESULTING DAMAGING WIND GUSTS...BUT THE RELATIVELY
HIGH FREEZING LEVEL WILL HOLD DOWN HAIL SIZES.

THE MAIN COLD FRONT IS ONLY JUST NOW ENTERING CENTRAL IOWA...AND IS
EXPECTED TO ARRIVE IN OUR NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT
AND LIE PRETTY MUCH ACROSS THE CENTER OF THE AREA BY 12Z WED. RAIN
WILL END WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE...BUT THIS WILL LIKELY NOT OCCUR
ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST UNTIL WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. WILL THEREFORE
CONTINUE WITH CHANCE POPS DOWN THERE THROUGH THE DAY WEDNESDAY WHICH
IS SIMILAR TIMING TO THE PREVIOUS FORECAST PACKAGES.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN DOMINATE THROUGH FRIDAY BRINGING DRIER AIR
AND SLIGHT COOLER TEMPERATURES.

LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...
MOST LONG TERM GUIDANCE IS NOW ON BOARD WITH THE THEME OF A STRONGER
UPPER LOW MOVING ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA LATE THIS WEEK. THIS SHOULD
BUCKLE THE SOUTHEAST STATES UPPER RIDGE AND ALLOW A COLD FRONT TO
COME DOWN INTO THE MIDWEST ON SATURDAY. PREVIOUS FORECASTER PUT IN
CHANCE POPS FOR SATURDAY AND THIS TIMING STILL LOOKS ON TRACK. WILL
ALSO EXTEND THE CHANCE POPS INTO SATURDAY NIGHT. THE FRONT BEGINS TO
SLOW DOWN ON SUNDAY...AND ALTHOUGH OBJECTIVE GUIDANCE LOWERS THE
POPS WITH THE FRONT EXPECTED TO BE TO OUR SOUTH...WILL HAND ON TO
SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR SUNDAY IN CASE THE FRONT ENDS UP EVEN SLOWER.
TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO CORRESPONDINGLY BE COOLER SUNDAY THROUGH
TUESDAY WITH THE CANADIAN AIRMASS ACROSS THE AREA.

THE GFS AND ECMWF BEGIN TO DIFFER AGAIN ON HOW FAST THE FRONT
RETURNS TO THE NORTH BEGINNING TUESDAY. THE GFS APPEARS TOO
AGRESSIVE IN CHEWING SUCH A STRONG LOW EASTWARD INTO THE THROAT OF
THE SURFACE RIDGE...BUT EVEN THE ECMWF HINTS AT THE FRONT
MOVING/MODIFYING NORTH BY THEN. SO AFTER A DRY SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH
MONDAY NIGHT...WILL STICK IN SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR TUESDAY.

04
&&

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 1215 PM CDT TUE JUL 8 2008

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP AHEAD OF A
COLD FRONT OVER CENTRAL IL TERMINALS DURING MID AND LATE AFTERNOON.
A PREFRONTAL TROF JUST SOUTH OF I-72 MAY IGNITE A BAND OF STRONG TO
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS SE OF I-72 INTO INDIANA.
COLD FRONT EXTENDING FROM CENTRAL WI THROUGH CENTRAL IA AND SE
NEBRASKA WILL MOVE SE INTO NW IL BY SUNSET AND THROUGH I-72 BY
MIDNIGHT/05Z. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DIMINISH FROM NW TO SE
DURING THIS EVENING. THUNDERSTORMS MAY PRODUCE MVFR CEILINGS OF 2 TO
3K FT AND IFR TO MVFR VISIBILITIES OF 2 TO 3 MILES. SCATTERED CLOUDS
OF 3 TO 5K FT AND BROKEN MID LEVEL CLOUDS OF 10 TO 15K FT TO
DECREASE AT PIA JUST BEFORE 12Z/TUE AND ALONG I-72 AT CMI...DEC AND
SPI BY 14Z/TUE. BREEZY WSW WINDS 10 TO 15 KTS AND GUSTS OF 15 TO 25
KTS TO DIMINISH WEST AROUND 7 TO 11 KTS TONIGHT AND NNW WED MORNING.
