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 May 13, 6:50 PM CDT, 17 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 13, 6:50 PM CDT, 17 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
650 PM CDT TUE MAY 13 2008

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 258 PM CDT TUE MAY 13 2008

AN EVOLVING SPLIT FLOW PATTERN ALOFT...WITH THE SOUTHERN STREAM
IMPACTING OUR WEATHER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...IS EXPECTED TO
EVOLVE INTO A DOMINANT NORTHERN STREAM/NW FLOW PATTERN FOR IL BY
THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL RESULT IN COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPS AND
PERIODIC CHANCES FOR DAYTIME SHOWERS INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

IN THE SHORT TERM THE GFS AND NAM ARE QUITE SIMILAR WITH THE SPLIT
FLOW REGIME...THE BUILDING WEST COAST RIDGE AND THEIR TIMING OF
BRINGING A PIECE OF ENERGY FROM THE SW U.S. INTO THE PLAINS. HOWEVER...
BY THURSDAY MORNING THE GFS IS A BIT STRONGER AND QUICKER THAN THE
NAM WITH THE EJECTING UPPER WAVE AS IT GETS CLOSER TO THE MIDWEST.
THE GFS SEEMS TO BE A BIT TOO QUICK AND MOIST...BUT THE NAM ALSO
SEEMS TO BE HOLDING BACK TOO MUCH ENERGY IN THE SOUTHERN PLAINS.
WILL BASE THE FORECAST ON A COMPROMISE OF THE TWO SOLUTIONS.

BY THE TIME THE WEEKEND APPROACHES THE GFS AND THE EUROPEAN MODELS
ARE IN AGREEMENT THAT THE MIDWEST WILL BE FIRMLY ENTRENCHED IN A
NORTHWEST FLOW. WILL FOLLOW THE EUROPEAN MODEL THOUGH WITH THE
PIECE OF THE POLAR VORTEX THAT BREAKS AWAY AND SINKS TOWARD THE
EASTERN GREAT LAKES SAT-SUN. THE GFS SEEMS TO SHIFT THIS FEATURE
TOO FAR EAST TOO FAST.

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND T-STORMS IN CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST IL LATE
THIS AFTERNOON WILL SHIFT THROUGH THE AREA AND DISSIPATE EARLY
THIS EVENING. THE NEXT ROUND OF T-STORMS WILL BE LIKELY LATER THIS
EVENING AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT WHICH EXTENDED FROM NORTHEAST MN TO
NW MO AND CENT OK LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO
MOVE THROUGH CENTRAL IL JUST BEFORE DAYBREAK...AND EAST/SE IL BY
EARLY AFTERNOON. WILL KEEP SOME LINGERING SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
T-STORMS IN THE FORECAST EAST OF A MONTICELLO-SHELBYVILLE LINE
WEDNESDAY MORNING...AND SOUTH OF I-70 INTO WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR INTO THE AREA
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...TEMPORARILY BRINGING AN END TO THE RAIN...AND
SLOWLY PUSHING THE FRONT TOWARD THE OHIO VALLEY.

LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

THE AFOREMENTIONED SOUTHERN STREAM WAVE IS EXPECTED TO COME OUT OF
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS EARLY THURSDAY. THIS WILL CAUSE A LOW TO
DEVELOP ON THE FRONT ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY. INCREASING LOW LEVEL
SOUTH WINDS WILL BRING MOISTURE UP AND OVER THE FRONT...RESULTING
IN INCREASING RAIN CHANCES IN CENTRAL AND SE IL THURSDAY. WRAP
AROUND RAINFALL ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE DEPARTING LOW PRESSURE
AREA IS EXPECTED TO KEEP SOME RAIN IN EASTERN IL THURSDAY NIGHT
INTO FRIDAY MORNING.

THE DEVELOPING NORTHWEST FLOW BY LATE FRIDAY/SATURDAY WILL KEEP US
ON THE COOL SIDE THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE
PIECE OF THE POLAR VORTEX THAT DROPS INTO THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES
WILL SPIN PIECES OF ENERGY AROUND THE UPPER MIDWEST THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. THIS WILL GIVE US PERIODS OF CLOUDINESS...AND PRIMARILY
DAYTIME CHANCES FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. THE
EUROPEAN MODEL IS INDICATING A CHANCE FOR RAIN LATER MONDAY INTO
TUESDAY...BUT NEED TO SEE MORE CONSISTENCY BEFORE ADDING THIS TO
THE FORECAST.

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 650 PM CDT TUE MAY 13 2008

CLUSTERS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL IMPACT CENTRAL ILLINOIS
THIS EVENING AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT.
GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED UNTIL THE FRONT PUSHES IN
OVERNIGHT...THEN MVFR CONDITIONS WILL LINGER THROUGH THE REST OF
THE NIGHT. SKIES WILL BEGIN TO CLEAR BEHIND THE FRONT WEDNESDAY
MORNING AS WINDS SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST.
