AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
1130 PM CST TUE JAN 29 2008

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 843 PM CST TUE JAN 29 2008

WILL BE EXTENDING THE WIND ADVISORY TO 6 AM...DUE TO EXPECTED SUSTAINED
WINDS OF 30 TO 39 MPH AFTER MIDNIGHT. WE MAY CANCEL WITH THE 4 AM
FORECAST ISSUANCE...BUT WE CAN EVALUATE THAT THEN.

SNOW SHOWERS HAVE DIMINISHED ON RADAR...AND THE MAIN AREAS OF
FALLING SNOW ARE MAINLY NE OF A LINE FROM LACON TO LINCOLN TO
DECATUR TO FLORA. FALLING SNOW SHOULD COME TO AN END SHORTLY AFTER
MIDNIGHT IN CENTRAL ILLINOIS. HIGH WINDS WILL KEEP BLOWING SNOW
GOING IN MUCH OF OUR AREA...WITH VISIBILITY DOWN BELOW 1SM AT
TIMES FOR MUCH OF THE NIGHT. BITTERLY COLD WIND CHILLS WILL BE
ESPECIALLY PROMINENT FOR AREAS NORTH OF LINCOLN...AND THE WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY WILL BE CONTINUED THROUGH 9 AM FOR THE
COMBINATION OF BITTER COLD AND BLOWING SNOW.

THINGS WILL QUIET DOWN BY MORNING...BUT WIND CHILLS WILL STILL BE
QUITE COLD WED MORNING.

MAY TWEAK LOW TEMPS DOWN A DEGREE OR TWO FOR THE REST OF THE
NIGHT...BASED ON UPSTREAM TRENDS.

UPDATED GRIDS AND ZONES WILL BE AVAILABLE SHORTLY.

SHIMON

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 1130 PM CST TUE JAN 29 2008...FOR THE 06Z TAFS

CLOUDS HAVE GENERALLY CLEARED OUT...AND ONLY A BRIEF MVFR DECK HAS
BEEN POPPING IN AND OUT OF PIA AND CMI. THE OTHER SITES HAVE
REMAINED SCT OVER THE LAST HOUR OR SO. NO ADDITIONAL PRECIP IS
EXPECTED THE REST OF THE NIGHT...NOR WILL THERE BE ANY REDUCTION
TO VISIBILITY DUE TO BLSN.

WINDS ARE THE BIG ISSUE...AND WILL KEEP GUSTS UP TO 35KT FOR THE
FIRST 3 HOURS OF THE TAF. THEN WINDS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW 30KT THE
REST OF THE NIGHT.

NO MAJOR VIS OR CIG ISSUES THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

SHIMON
&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 253 PM CST TUE JAN 29 2008

PLENTY OF CHALLENGES WITH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE...BEGINNING WITH
STRONG WINDS...RAPIDLY FALLING TEMPERATURES...AND WIND-CHILLS
TONIGHT. AFTER THAT...ALL EYES WILL BE ON A DEVELOPING WINTER
STORM EXPECTED TO AFFECT CENTRAL ILLINOIS THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY.

LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS STRONG COLD FRONT RAPIDLY MOVING
ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS. A LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
ACCOMPANIES THE FRONT...WHILE WINDY AND SHARPLY COLDER CONDITIONS
EXIST BEHIND IT. AFTER BOUNDARY PASSES...TEMPS HAVE BEEN DROPPING
15 TO 20 DEGREES IN JUST ONE HOUR. FURTHER WEST...BAND OF SNOW
ASSOCIATED WITH POTENT SHORT-WAVE EXTENDS FROM WESTERN MISSOURI
NORTHEASTWARD INTO WISCONSIN.

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY

LINE OF CONVECTION CURRENTLY JUST EAST OF THE I-55 CORRIDOR WILL
RACE EASTWARD...AND SHOULD CROSS THE ILLINOIS-INDIANA BORDER
SHORTLY BEFORE 00Z. BEHIND THE STORMS...MARKEDLY COLDER AIR WILL
CONTINUE TO POUR INTO THE AREA ON GUSTY NORTHWESTERLY WINDS. TIGHT
PRESSURE GRADIENT AND STEEP PRESSURE RISES UPSTREAM SUGGEST
SUSTAINED WINDS OF BETWEEN 25 AND 35 MPH...WITH GUSTS AS HIGH AS
45 MPH DURING THE EVENING HOURS. GRADIENT WILL WEAKEN OVERNIGHT...
ALLOWING WINDS TO DIMINISH SOMEWHAT. WILL THEREFORE CONTINUE THE
CURRENT WIND ADVISORY THROUGH MIDNIGHT. IN ADDITION TO THE
WINDS...TEMPS WILL PLUNGE THROUGH THE NIGHT. BASED ON UPSTREAM
TEMPS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS ACROSS IOWA...HAVE OPTED TO FOLLOW THE
COLDER MET GUIDANCE NUMBERS MOST CLOSELY FOR OVERNIGHT LOWS.
READINGS WILL BOTTOM OUT IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS...WITH A
FEW LOCATIONS ACROSS THE ILLINOIS RIVER VALLEY DIPPING BELOW ZERO.
THESE TEMPERATURES...COMBINED WITH GUSTY WINDS...WILL PRODUCE
DANGEROUSLY LOW WIND-CHILL VALUES. WIND-CHILL READINGS WILL DROP
BELOW ZERO ACROSS THE BOARD...WITH -15F OR LOWER VALUES COMMON
ALONG AND NORTHWEST OF A RUSHVILLE TO BLOOMINGTON LINE.

AS LOW PRESSURE TRACKS INTO THE GREAT LAKES AND FRONT PUSHES WELL
EAST OF THE AREA...BAND OF SNOW ACROSS MISSOURI AND IOWA WILL LIFT
NORTHEASTWARD THIS EVENING. GFS CONTINUES TO BE MORE AGGRESSIVE IN
BRINGING A PERIOD OF LIGHT SNOW ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL
ILLINOIS...WHILE NAM-WRF PROVIDES MORE OF A GLANCING BLOW TO THE
W/NW KILX CWA. BASED ON TRACK OF LOW AND CURRENT SATELLITE/RADAR
LOOPS...PREFER THE NAM-WRF SOLUTION HERE. WILL CARRY CHANCE POPS
FOR LIGHT SNOW ACROSS ALL BUT THE W/NW CWA...WHERE LIKELY POPS ARE
IN ORDER. ANY SNOWFALL THAT OCCURS WILL BE SHORT-LIVED...SO
ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BE MINIMAL. MOST LOCATIONS WILL
RECEIVE A COUPLE TENTHS OF AN INCH AT BEST...WITH PERHAPS UP TO
ONE INCH ACROSS THE ILLINOIS RIVER VALLEY. DESPITE MINOR
ACCUMULATIONS...WIND-DRIVEN SNOW WILL SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE
VISIBILITIES FOR A TIME DURING THE EVENING...PARTICULARLY ACROSS
THE ILLINOIS RIVER VALLEY. WITH BOTH A BLOWING SNOW AND WIND-CHILL
THREAT ACROSS THE N/NW CWA...HAVE OPTED TO DROP THE BLOWING SNOW
ADVISORY IN FAVOR OF A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY. THIS ADVISORY WILL
COVER BOTH HAZARDS AND WILL REMAIN VALID UNTIL WEDNESDAY MORNING.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE MIDWEST ON WEDNESDAY...PROVIDING
A BRIEF LULL IN THE ACTIVE WEATHER. HOWEVER...NEXT SIGNIFICANT
WAVE WILL DIG SOUTHEASTWARD INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WEDNESDAY
NIGHT...INDUCING SURFACE CYCLOGENESIS ACROSS OKLAHOMA BY 12Z THU.
MODELS HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN VACILLATING WITH THE EXACT TRACK OF
THE SYSTEM...BUT SOLUTIONS SEEM TO BE STABILIZING ON A TRACK FROM
OKLAHOMA NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. LATEST RUNS OF THE
NAM-WRF/GFS/ECMWF ARE ALL IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT...WITH ONLY MAJOR
DIFFERENCES BEING EXACTLY HOW FAR NORTHWEST THE PRECIP WILL
SPREAD. GIVEN THE EXPECTED SURFACE/UPPER LOW TRACK...THINK HEAVIEST
SNOW BAND WILL SET UP ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN KILX CWA.
ANY DEVIATION IN THE TRACK WILL OF COURSE HAVE MAJOR IMPLICATIONS
ON EXACTLY WHERE THE HEAVIEST SNOW WILL FALL. BASED ON CURRENT
FORECAST...WILL FOCUS THE HEAVIEST SNOW ALONG AND SOUTH OF
I-72...WHERE IN EXCESS OF 4 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE BY THE TIME
THE SNOW TAPERS OFF FRIDAY MORNING. AMOUNTS FURTHER NORTH IN THE
PEORIA AND BLOOMINGTON AREAS WILL BE LIGHTER...BUT A COUPLE OF
INCHES WILL STILL BE LIKELY THERE. SNOW WILL BEGIN ACROSS CENTRAL
ILLINOIS THURSDAY AFTERNOON...THEN WILL BECOME WIDESPREAD
THURSDAY NIGHT. AS LOW TRACKS TOWARD LAKE ERIE FRIDAY
MORNING...DEFORMATION ZONE SNOW WILL GRADUALLY PULL OUT OF THE
REGION...WITH MOST OF THE PRECIP ENDING BY AROUND MIDDAY FRIDAY.

LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

RELATIVELY QUIET WEATHER WILL PREVAIL OVER THE WEEKEND...WITH GFS
SUGGESTING SOME LIGHT WARM-ADVECTION TYPE SNOW POSSIBLY BREAKING
OUT ACROSS IOWA AND NORTHERN ILLINOIS ON SATURDAY NIGHT. WILL ONLY
INCLUDE AN INCREASE IN CLOUDS AT THIS TIME...KEEPING BEST LIFT AND
FOCUS FOR PRECIP N/NW OF THE AREA. AFTER THAT...NEXT SYSTEM STILL
PROGGED TO ARRIVE EARLY NEXT WEEK. WARMER AIR WILL BE IN PLACE BY
THEN...SO THIS LOOKS TO BE MAINLY A RAIN EVENT. WILL FOCUS HIGHEST
POPS FOR RAIN MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...WITH RAIN CHANCES SETTLING
FURTHER EAST AND SOUTH BY TUESDAY.
