AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
319 AM CDT TUE AUG 5 2008

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 304 AM CDT TUE AUG 5 2008
REGION A MASS OF THUNDERSTORM CLUSTERS...FRONTS...AND OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES. ACTIVE GROUP OF THUNDERSTORMS MOVING INTO ACROSS THE
MISS RIVER VALLEY THIS MORNING...SO THIS DISCUSSION WILL BE
SHORTENED SOMEWHAT. APPROACHING FRONT SHOULD BE THE MAIN ISSUE
FOR THE FORECAST TODAY. STORMS ALONG FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND
LINGERING CLOUDS SHOULD KEEP THE NRN TIER OF COUNTIES OUT OF HEAT
ADVISORY CRITERIA...THOUGH SOUTHERN AND SW COUNTIES MAY SEE HEAT
INDICES IN EXCESS OF 100F. PROGRESSION OF THIS FRONT THROUGH THE
FA IS REALLY THE MAIN PROBLEM FOR THE FORECAST. HAVE GONE WITH A
BLEND OF THE GFS AND THE ECMWF FOR THE FORECAST AS THE NAM IS
ODDLY BROADBRUSHED WITH ITS PRECIP THIS TIME AROUND.

SHORT TERM...TODAY AND TOMORROW...
HOT AND VERY MOIST AIR IN PLACE IN ADVANCE OF TODAYS FRONT SHOULD
BRING A COUPLE ROUNDS OF TSTORMS FOR CENTRAL ILLINOIS. OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY FROM LAST NIGHTS ACTIVITY ALREADY PUSHING THROUGH THE
CENTRAL AND SERN PORTIONS. ANOTHER COMPLEX IS DROPPING INTO NRN
CWA PRESENTLY... PROVIDING YET ANOTHER BOUNDARY. THINK AT THIS
POINT THAT THE GUIDANCE MAY BE SLIGHTLY OVERDONE FOR TEMPS... BUT
THE HUMIDITY MAY COMPENSATE...AS IT DID YESTERDAY...RESULTING IN
HI OVER 100F. NOT MAKING ANY CHANGES TO THE ADVSY AS A RESULT. NRN
TIER OF FA SHOULD END UP ON THE DRY SIDE TONIGHT AS THE FRONT
MOVES THROUGH. BEST FOCUS FOR TSTORMS SHOULD BE SOUTH AND
SOUTHWEST. HOWEVER... LAST COUPLE OF RUNS HAVE INDICATED A WAVE
MOVING IN FROM THE WEST JUST AS THE FRONT MAY BE DRIFTING BACK NWD
WITH WAA FROM THE SOUTH. HAVE GONE TO A CHANCE POP ACROSS THE FA
FOR WED IN ANTICIPATION OF THIS MCS PERSISTING IN THE MODELS.

LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...
FORECAST DRIES OUT CONSIDERABLY IN THE MODELS BEYOND THURSDAY
MORNING...BUT IN SKETCHY NWRLY FLOW...THAT SITUATION IS ALWAYS
LIKELY TO CHANGE. BIG RIDGE BUILDING TO THE WEST...AND TS EDOUARD
MOVING IN AND BEING PULLED INTO THE MIX FROM THE SW MID WEEK.
TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW TO MID 80S AND NOT QUITE SO MUGGY.

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 1205 AM CDT TUE AUG 5 2008

TSTM COMPLEX THAT MOVED THRU NRN IL LAST EVE HAS PUSHED AN OUTFLOW
BNDRY SWD THAT NOW EXTENDS BRL-BMI-DNV. ISOLD MID LVL SHOWERS FM
ACCAS HAVE DVLPD SERN IA/ERN MO AND THIS ACTIVITY MAY HOLD TOGETHER
AS FAR E AS PIA/SPI...BUT WILL BE DIMINISHING DUE TO SUBSIDENSE IN
THE WAKE OF THE NRN IL CONVECTION. ADDITIONAL ELEVATED TSTM DVLPMT
REMAINS PSBL MAINLY ALONG AND N OF OUTFLOW BNDRY...SO WILL KEEP A
TEMPO FOR THUNDER IN PIA/BMI BEFORE 12Z TUE. MAIN COLD FRONT STILL
BACK IN IA AND IS STILL SLATED TO REACH PIA BY 18Z AND INTO THE
SPI-DEC-CMI CORRIDOR BY 21Z. WHATEVER CONVECTION DVLPS BEFORE 12Z
TUE WILL HAVE A SIG IMPACT ON STORM DVLPMT/EVOLUTION THRU TUE. IN
GENERAL...WILL PUT IN PROB30 FOR TSRA AFT 15Z MOST AREAS...THEN
TEMPO FOR THE 4 HRS AROUND FROPA...THEN JUST A COUPLE OF HRS OF
STRATOCU N OF THE FRONT. SMALL CHC FOR LINGERING CONVECTION AFTER
FROPA...BUT RISK IS TOO SMALL FOR INCLUSION IN THE TAFS AT THIS TIME.
