AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
1012 AM CST SAT DEC 27 2008

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 1012 AM CST SAT DEC 27 2008

STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS PERSIST ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST THIS
MORNING AHEAD OF A STRONG COLD FRONT. THESE WINDS ARE CONTINUING
TO TRANSPORT UNSEASONABLY WARM AND HUMID AIR INTO THE REGION. A
LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT. WHILE THE INSTABILITY
WILL NOT BE VERY GOOD...THE STRONG WIND FIELDS WILL LIKELY PRODUCE
AT LEAST A FEW SEVERE STORMS AS THE LINE MOVES THROUGH THE REGION.

GOING FORECAST IS IN GOOD SHAPE AND SEE NO REASON TO MAKE CHANGES
AT THIS TIME. THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER WATCHES WILL
INCREASE AROUND MIDDAY.

BAK

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 549 AM CST SAT DEC 27 2008...FOR THE 12Z TAFS

WIND WILL BE THE BIG PLAYER TODAY. SOUTH WINDS WILL INCREASE THIS
MORNING...ESPECIALLY FOR BMI/SPI/DEC/CMI. A WIND ADVISORY IS IN
EFFECT FROM 9 AM TO MIDNIGHT FOR SUSTAINED 30 MPH WINDS WITH GUSTS
TO 40 MPH. THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE IS ANTICIPATED LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WINDS WILL WEAKEN NEAR THE FRONT...BUT THEN
INCREASE FROM THE WEST BEHIND THE FRONT. FRONTAL TIMING LOOKS TO
BE... PIA BY 22Z...BMI/SPI BY 00Z...DEC BY 01Z...AND CMI BY 02Z.

STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON...WITH
DAMAGING WINDS THE MAIN HAZARD. CIGS AND VIS WILL LIKELY DROP TO
LIFR IN THE STRONGER STORMS. STRONG WIND SHEAR IS EXPECTED IN THE
VICINITY OF THUNDERSTORMS. SOME WINDS MAY REACH 60 MPH IN A FEW
DOWNBURSTS. SMALL HAIL WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE.

BY MID EVENING...I INCREASED WEST WINDS TO 20-30KTS AGAIN. WINDS
SHOULD WEAKEN AFTER MIDNIGHT...AND CLOUD DECKS SHOULD CLIMB TO VFR
AGAIN.

.PREV DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 330 AM CST SAT DEC 27 2008

DENSE FOG ADVISORY WILL BE CANCELLED FOR FULTON AND KNOX COUNTIES
AS VISIBILITIES HAVE GREATLY IMPROVED WITH WARM FRONT LIFTING
NORTH INTO NORTHERN IL EARLY THIS MORNING.

00Z SHORT RANGE MODELS ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT THIS WEEKEND AS
A STRONG COLD FRONT SWEEPS EASTWARD ACROSS ILLINOIS DURING THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING...EXITING EAST INTO INDIANA BY MIDNIGHT.

HEAVY RAINS NW OF A RUSHVILLE TO BLOOMINGTON LINE. CONVECTION
SHOULD OVERSPREAD REST OF CENTRAL IL DURING THIS MORNING AND MAY
NOT GET INTO SE IL BY THE WABASH RIVER UNTIL LATER TODAY. DECIDED
TO REMOVE SE COUNTIES OUT OF FLASH FLOOD WATCH THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING SINCE THEY ARE EXPECTING LESS RAINFALL OF 1 INCH
OR LESS AND NO SNOW/ICE MELT THERE. STRONG WIND FIELDS TODAY AHEAD
OF COLD FRONT AND BEHIND COLD FRONT THIS EVENING ESPECIALLY FROM
I-55 EAST WHERE WIND ADVISORY ISSUED. WINDY OVER THE IL RIVER
VALLEY BUT APPEARS BELOW WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA AT THIS TIME WITH
IS SUSTAINED WINDS OF 30 MPH AND/OR WIND GUSTS OF 45 MPH OR
STRONGER. SPC PUSHED SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE STORMS THIS AFTERNOON
SW OF CWA. BUT WITH SUCH STRONG WIND FIELDS...STILL COULD BE A FEW
STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WITH HIGH WINDS EAST OF I-55. BUMPED UP
HIGHS TODAY INTO THE 60S... RANGING FROM 60F NW OF THE IL RIVER TO
LOWER 70S NEAR THE WABASH RIVER. NEAR RECORD HIGHS TODAY WHICH ARE
64F AT PEORIA AND LINCOLN WHILE 66F AND SPRINGFIELD.

DIMINISHING QUICKLY BEHIND IT FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THIS EVENING.
JUST SLIGHT CHANCE OF LIGHT RAIN/SNOW OVERNIGHT WITH NO SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS. STRONG WINDS CONTINUE THIS EVENING ESPECIALLY EAST
OF I-55 AS SOUTH WINDS TURN WEST BEHIND STRONG COLD FRONT. DRY
SLOT WORKS NE INTO CENTRAL/SE IL OVERNIGHT WITH DECREASING CLOUDS.

A PIECE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE ROCKIES BREAKS OFF AND MOVES
INTO AR/TN BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON BRINGING MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. HIGHS
IN THE UPPER 30S/LOWER 40S CENTRAL IL AND MID 40S SE IL. HIGH
PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE EASTERN STATES MON AND KEEPS MOSTLY SUNNY
SKIES AGAIN AND A BIT MILDER HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 40S.

MEDIUM RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW ZONAL UPPER LEVEL FLOW OVER
THE MIDWEST DURING MID WEEK WITH DRY WEATHER THROUGH THU. COLD
FRONT PASSES THROUGH IL DRY ON TUE WITH SOME COOLING BEHIND THE
FRONT TUE NIGHT AND WED WITH TEMPERATURES GETTING CLOSER TO
NORMAL. ANOTHER COLD FRONT MOVES INTO IL THU NIGHT INTO FRI AND
APPEARS TO HAVE A BIT MORE MOISTURE TO WORK WITH TO BRING A CHANCE
OF LIGHT SNOW. 00Z GFS BECOMES MUCH STRONGER WITH LOW PRESSURE
EJECTING INTO IL BY SUNSET FRI BUT 00Z ECMWF HAS THIS LOW PRESSURE
PASSING NORTH OF THE GREAT LAKES. SO BIG DIFFERENCES HERE WITH
THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND TENDED TO LEAN TOWARD THE ECMWF
SOLUTION. LOOKS LIKE SOME COOLING AGAIN BEHIND THIS SYSTEM BY
WEEKS END.
