Area forecast discussion, Apr 25, 6:40 PM CDT, 34 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
640 PM CDT FRI APR 25 2008

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 303 PM CDT FRI APR 25 2008

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...
MAIN SURFACE LOW NOW MOVING INTO WESTERN WISCONSIN WITH THE COLD
FRONT EXTENDING SOUTH ACROSS EASTERN IOWA AND CENTRAL MISSOURI.
ISOLATED ELEVATED STORMS HAVE BEEN BUBBLING UP THIS AFTERNOON WELL
AHEAD OF THE FRONT IN CENTRAL ILLINOIS...BUT THE MOST WIDESPREAD
CONVECTION WILL ACCOMPANY THE COLD FRONT AS IS MOVES THROUGH LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. THESE STORMS HAVE ALREADY DEVELOPED
OVER IOWA AND MISSOURI...AND LINEAR EXTRAPOLATION PROJECTS THE FRONT
INTO THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA BY 4 PM. THE FRONT IS
THEN EXPECTED TO PROGRESS TO THE INTERSTATE 55 CORRIDOR BY 7PM...
THEN EAST INTO INDIANA AND SOUTHERN ILLINOIS BEFORE MIDNIGHT. THE
PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL BE LARGE HAIL...WITH POSSIBLY
WIND DAMAGE ALONG SMALL-SCALE BOWS/LEWPS. AN ISOLATED TORNADO IS NOT
OUT OF THE QUESTION...BUT THE THREAT APPEARS LOW AT THIS TIME.

AFTER A SHORT BREAK ON SATURDAY...THE NEXT UPPER TROUGH NOW JUST OFF
THE NORTHWEST COAST WILL MOVE INTO THE MIDWEST SATURDAY NIGHT.
EXPECT MAINLY SHOWERS OVER THIS AREA BEGINNING AFTER MIDNIGHT IN
WESTERN ILLINOIS AND ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA ON SUNDAY. THE POTENTIAL
WILL ALSO EXIST FOR ISOLATED THUNDER BASED ON RELATIVELY COOL TEMPS
ALOFT WITH THE TROUGH AXIS...HOWEVER NO SEVERE IS EXPECTED. POPS
WILL THEN TAPER OFF TO SLIGHT CHANCE SUNDAY NIGHT/MONDAY WITH
SCATTERED WRAP-AROUND SHOWERS AS THE SURFACE LOW AND UPPER TROUGH
AMPLIFY JUST TO OUR WEST.

AS THIS SYSTEM EXITS THE REGION...AN UNSEASONABLY COOL CHUNK OF
CANADIAN AIR WILL POUR INTO THE PLAINS AND MIDWEST. EXPECT LOW IN
THE 30S SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY NIGHT...WITH A FROST/FREEZE POSSIBLE
IN THE NORTH.

LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE IN CONTROL TUESDAY AND THE FIRST PART OF
WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL ALLOW COOL EARLY WEEK TEMPERATURES TO MODERATE
TO NEAR NORMAL LEVELS. THE ANOMOUSLY STRONG CANADIAN HIGH SHOULD
SHOVE MOISTURE QUITE A WAYS SOUTH BACK INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO...SO
ANY MOISTURE RETURN AHEAD OF THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL BE PRETTY SLOW
INITIALLY. THE LONGER RANGE GFS AND ECMWF ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT
ON THE LARGE-SCALE MASS FIELDS THROUGH WEDNESDAY...BRINGING THE NEXT
UPPER TROUGH INTO THE ROCKIES AND INDUCING LEE-SIDE CYCLOGENESIS BY
12Z THU. A WARM FRONT WILL SET UP EAST OF THE DEVELOPING LOW AND
EXTEND EASTWARD TO JUST SOUTH OF ILLINOIS TOWARD THE END OF THE
WEEK. IT STILL APPEARS THAT PRECIPTABLE MOISTURE WILL NOT BE
SUFFICIENT FOR CONVECTION ALONG THE WARM FRONT ACROSS ILLINOIS UNTIL
AT LEAST THURSDAY...AND MORE LIKELY ON FRIDAY. WILL CONTINUE WITH
SLIGHT CHANCE POPS WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY...AND RAISE THEM
INTO THE CHANCE CATEGORY THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 635 PM CDT FRI APR 25 2008

CONVECTION CONTINUES TO TRACK NORTHEAST ACRS CNTRL IL THIS EVENING
AHEAD OF A STRONG COLD FRONT...WHICH AT 23Z WAS LOCATED ACRS WRN
IL. THE STRONGEST STORM WAS LOCATED NEAR SPI WITH A GUST TO 60 MPH
RECORDED AT THE AIRPORT OVER THE PAST 15 MINUTES. THE LINE OF STORMS
WL SHIFT EAST OF CMI BY 04Z WITH SFC WINDS BECOME WESTERLY AFTR FROPA.
CEILINGS A CONCERN AS THE LOWER CLOUD DECK TO THE WEST OF THE COLD
FRONT CONTINUES TO MAINTAIN ITSELF AS IT HEADS EWD. HAD THOUGHT THAT
WOULD TEND TO MIX OUT LATE THIS AFTN INTO EARLY THIS EVENING. IF THESE
TRENDS CONTINUE...MAY HAVE TO ADJUST THINKING REGARDING THE POST-FRONTAL
CLOUDS FOR A FEW HOURS THIS EVENING. IF THEY HOLD TOGETHER...WL ADJUST
THE TRENDS DOWN OVR MOST OF THE FCST AREA THRU 06Z. SATELLITE IS
INDICATING SOME DRYING OCCURRING ACRS NE MO SO WL KEEP AN EYE ON
THIS OVER THE NEXT SVL HOURS AND ADJUST ACCORDINGLY. IF THE MVFR CIGS
DO PUSH IN LATER THIS EVENING...THEY SHOULD SCATTER OUT OVERNIGHT
AS SOUNDINGS INDICATE THE LOW LVLS DO DRY OUT WITH TIME INTO SATURDAY
MRNG.
