AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
1040 AM CDT THU APR 30 2009

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 1029 AM CDT THU APR 30 2009

SHORT WAVE TRACKED ACROSS IL THIS MORNING...AND AT 15Z WAS OVER
INDIANA. MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION HAD EXITED THE FORECAST AREA BY
1530Z. A FEW SHOWERS PERSISTED EAST OF INTERSTATE 55...HOWEVER
MOSTLY DRY TO THE WEST...SO ALLOWED THE FLOOD WATCH TO EXPIRE AT 10
AM. REMNANTS OF THE MCV TRACKED INTO NORTHERN IL...AND WAS
AFFECTING WIND DIRECTIONS. TEMPERATURE TRENDS IN THE FORECAST ARE
ON TRACK...HOWEVER WL SEND OUT A FORECAST UPDATE SHORTLY TO REMOVE MORNING
WORDING AND FLOOD WATCH WORDING.

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 625 AM CDT THU APR 30 2009

MAIN FORECAST CONCERN CONTINUES TO BE WITH LOW CIGS AND VSBYS IN
THE WAKE OF THE DISTURBANCE WHICH BROUGHT MORE RAIN BACK INTO
THE AREA THIS MORNING. MCV WAS LOCATED NEAR GBG THIS MRNG AND
WILL TRACK TO OUR NORTHEAST OVR THE NEXT SVL HOURS TAKING THE
BULK OF THE RAIN WITH IT. HOWEVER...BEHIND THE SYSTEM...WE ARE
SEEING SOME LOWER CLOUDS WORK BACK AROUND THE DISTURBANCE AND
SOME OF THAT WILL GET INTO AT LEAST OUR NRN TAF SITES WITH IFR
AND PSBLY SOME LIFR CIGS FOR AT TIME THIS MRNG. SINCE SPI AND
DEC WERE A BIT FURTHER SOUTH OF THE WAVE...THOUGHT THEY MAY
SEE ONLY A TEMPO LOWERING OF CIGS THIS MRNG INTO THE IFR CAT.

NOT EXPECTING ANY GREAT IMPROVEMENT AS SOUNDING DATA CONTINUES TO
INDICATE THE LOW LEVELS WILL BE SATURATED INTO TNT...SUGGESTING
MVFR CONDITIONS INTO THIS EVENING AND PSBLY LOWERING AGAIN TO
IFR CONDITIONS JUST AFTR THIS FCST PERIOD. SFC WNDS WL VEER INTO
THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST THIS MRNG AS A WARM FRONT SHIFTS NORTH
OF THE AREA. WIND SPEEDS SHOULD AVERAGE FROM 10 T0 15 KTS WITH
OCCASIONAL HIGHER GUSTS PSBL ACRS THE EAST. WNDS SHOULD GRDLY
SHIFT INTO THE WEST LATER IN THE FCST PD AS A COLD FRONT EDGES
TWDS THE FORECAST AREA THIS EVENING. CONFIDENCE NOT REAL HIGH
REGARDING ANY REDEVELOPMENT OF CONVECTION AHEAD OF THE FRONT
SO FOR NOW...WL INCLUDE VCSH/VCTS LATER THIS AFTN INTO EARLY
THIS EVENING.

.PREV DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 234 AM CDT THU APR 30 2009

UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE FORECAST
PERIOD...WITH NUMEROUS CHANCES FOR RAIN OVER THE NEXT WEEK.

COMPLEX UPPER AIR PATTERN NOTED OVER NORTH AMERICA...FEATURING A
LARGE BLOCKING HIGH OVER ALASKA/WESTERN CANADA...WHICH IS CREATING
A SPLIT IN THE JET STREAM. THE NORTHERN BRANCH REMAINS WELL TO THE
NORTH ACROSS CENTRAL CANADA...WHILE THE SOUTHERN BRANCH TRACKS
FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE CONUS. SEVERAL IMPULSES ARE EMBEDDED
WITHIN THE ACTIVE SOUTHERN BRANCH...WITH ONE WAVE CURRENTLY
BRINGING AN AREA OF SHOWERS/STORMS INTO CENTRAL ILLINOIS.

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY

SHORT-WAVE EVIDENT ON 06Z WATER VAPOR IMAGERY ACROSS MISSOURI WILL
TRACK E/NE INTO THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES TODAY...TAKING THE BULK
OF THE RAIN WITH IT. BASED ON LATEST SATELLITE/RADAR LOOPS...THINK
STEADY RAIN WITH EMBEDDED THUNDER WILL LIFT OUT OF THE AREA BY
MID-MORNING...WITH A PRONOUNCED LULL IN THE PRECIP OCCURRING AT
LEAST THROUGH MID-AFTERNOON. NEXT WAVE ANALYZED OVER NEW MEXICO
WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST LATE IN THE DAY...PROVIDING ENHANCED
LIFT AND RENEWED RAIN CHANCES. WITH THE STEADIEST RAIN EXPECTED
DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS...WILL CARRY CATEGORICAL POPS NORTH
OF THE I-70 CORRIDOR THROUGH NOON. WILL THEN DROP POPS TO CHANCE
DURING THE AFTERNOON IN ORDER TO HIGHLIGHT THE EXPECTED LULL.

NEXT WAVE WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA THIS EVENING...BRINGING ANOTHER
ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. WITH AMPLE MOISTURE IN PLACE
AND DECENT LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH WAVE...WILL INCREASE POPS BACK TO
LIKELY TONIGHT...MAINLY ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN ZONES.
MEANWHILE...SEPARATE WAVE TRACKING ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS WILL
BEGIN TO PUSH A COLD FRONT INTO ILLINOIS OVERNIGHT. BOUNDARY IS
EXPECTED TO BISECT THE KILX CWA BY 12Z FRI...THEN DROP TO NEAR THE
OHIO RIVER BY 00Z SAT. WITH BEST UPPER DYNAMICS TRACKING BY TO THE
NORTH INTO THE GREAT LAKES...UPPER SUPPORT WILL BE LIMITED ACROSS
THE AREA ON FRIDAY. ECMWF REMAINS LARGELY DRY ALONG/BEHIND
FRONT...WHILE BOTH THE NAM-WRF/GFS AGGRESSIVELY DEVELOP A BAND OF
POST-FRONTAL PRECIP DURING THE AFTERNOON. DO NOT SEE THE SUPPORT
FOR THIS SOLUTION...SO WILL LEAN TOWARD THE DRIER ECMWF. AS A
RESULT...WILL ONLY CARRY CHANCE POPS FOR SHOWERS ON FRIDAY.

BIG QUESTION OVER THE WEEKEND REMAINS HOW FAR SOUTH FRONT WILL
SINK BEFORE BECOMING STATIONARY. WITH OVERALL SYNOPTIC PATTERN
REMAINING ZONAL...DO NOT THINK FRONT WILL GET TOO FAR SOUTH. GFS
CONTINUES TO BE THE FURTHEST NORTH OUTLIER...WITH BOUNDARY ACROSS
KENTUCKY ON SATURDAY. MEANWHILE...CANADIAN/ECMWF/NAM-WRF ALL TAKE
IT A BIT FURTHER SOUTH...AS NORTHERN STREAM OF THE JET CARVES A
LARGE UPPER LOW OVER HUDSON BAY...WHICH SHOULD PROVIDE A BIT OF
SOUTHWARD PUSH TO THE FRONT. WILL THEREFORE FOLLOW THE MODEL
CONSENSUS AND TAKE BOUNDARY WELL SOUTH OF THE AREA. DESPITE
FRONTAL POSITION ACROSS THE TENNESSEE RIVER VALLEY...WAVES WILL
CONTINUE TO TRACK THROUGH THE SOUTHERN STREAM OF THE
JET...TRIGGERING OVERRUNNING PRECIP NORTH OF THE FRONT. WILL KEEP
LOW CHANCE POPS GOING ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-70 ON SATURDAY...THEN
WILL INCREASE THEM TO 40 TO 50 POPS SATURDAY NIGHT AS WAVE TRACKS
ALONG FRONT AND PULLS PRECIP FURTHER NORTH.

LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

SAME STORY ON SUNDAY...AS FRONT REMAINS STALLED ACROSS THE
TENNESSEE RIVER VALLEY. MOST OF THE KILX CWA WILL REMAIN PARTLY TO
MOSTLY CLOUDY AND DRY...WITH A FEW SHOWERS POSSIBLE ALONG AND
SOUTH OF I-70. MORE SIGNIFICANT WAVE CURRENTLY ACROSS THE CENTRAL
PACIFIC IS PROGGED TO MOVE ACROSS THE MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY EARLY
NEXT WEEK...GIVING THE FRONT A SOLID NORTHWARD NUDGE. WILL
THEREFORE BRING CHANCE POPS AS FAR NORTH AS THE I-72 CORRIDOR
MONDAY/MONDAY NIGHT. AFTER THAT...DID NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE
GOING FORECAST...PENDING BETTER RUN-TO-RUN MODEL CONSISTENCY.
