What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood 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 river flood warning went out at Nov 18, 5:50 PM CST, 1 hour 31 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Nov 18, 5:50 PM CST, 1 hour 31 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
550 PM CST WED NOV 18 2009

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 255 PM CST WED NOV 18 2009

THE LINGERING CUT-OFF LOW WILL FINALLY BEGIN TO PROGRESS EASTWARD
TONIGHT...AND PULL FAR AWAY TO THE NORTHEAST ON THURSDAY
AFTERNOON. THE HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES WILL BE TONIGHT...THEN TAPER
OFF BY THURS AFTERNOON.

THERE IS A HIGHER LIKELIHOOD OF DRY CONDITIONS FOR FRI THROUGH
SUNDAY...UNFORTUNATELY THERE WILL BE A SECONDARY UPPER LOW
IMMEDIATELY ON THE HEELS OF THE PREVIOUS LOW. THE NEXT LOW WILL
INDUCE WEAK TROUGHING AT THE SURFACE ACROSS IA/MO AND W IL THIS
WEEKEND. CLOUDS WILL PROBABLY AFFECT AT LEAST THE WESTERN
PORTIONS OF IL. A FEW SPRINKLES CAN NOT BE RULED OUT FOR SAT AND
SUN...ESPECIALLY WEST OF LINCOLN TO PEORIA...BUT FOR NOW WE WILL
KEEP A DRY FORECAST IN PLACE.

A WIDE SPREAD IN MODEL GUIDANCE SHOWS UP FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY
NEXT WEEK. THE GFS CONTINUES TO SHOW A POTENT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
LIFTING DIRECTLY ACROSS IL...WHILE THE ECMWF AND CANADIAN GLOBAL
KEEP THE LOW WEST OF ILLINOIS. THE CURRENT FORECAST WAS MORE IN
LINE WITH THE GFS...AND WE DID NOT ALTER TOO MUCH FROM THAT
TIMING...SINCE HPC WAS IN AGREEMENT WITH THAT SCENARIO.

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY.

THE OCCLUDED SURFACE AND UPPER LOWS WILL LIFT SLOWLY TO THE NNE
ACROSS CENTRAL IL TONIGHT. AN ABUNDANCE OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND
WEAK LIFT WILL KEEP LIGHT RAIN AND DRIZZLE CHANCES IN PLACE
THROUGH AT LEAST THURSDAY MORNING. AREAS OF FOG WILL BE LIKELY AS
WELL...WITH SOME LOCALLY DENSE FOG POSSIBLE. RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL
BE ON THE LIGHT SIDE...WITH UP TO A TENTH OF AN INCH OF ADDITIONAL
RAIN OVER THE NEXT 18 TO 24 HOURS.

WE WENT WITH LIKELY POPS FROM PEORIA AND N THURSDAY MORNING...WITH HIGH
CHANCE POPS FOR AREAS SOUTH TO SPI TO DEC TO PARIS. DURING THE
AFTERNOON...ISENTROPIC DOWNGLIDE SHOULD HELP TO SHUT DOWN PRECIP
FROM SW TO NE.

WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF FOG FOR FRIDAY
MORNING...AS HIGH PRESSURE AND A SUBSIDENCE INVERSION KEEP LOW
MOISTURE TRAPPED NEAR THE GROUND.

FRIDAY MAY BE ONE OF THE FEW DAYS OVER THE NEXT 4 OR 5 WITH SOME
PERIODS OF SUNSHINE. THE NEXT UPPER LOW IS EXPECTED TO MOVE OVER
IL FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...WITH LINGERING SURFACE TROUGHING
ACROSS IL THROUGH SUNDAY. AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY...SOME SPRINKLES
MAY DEVELOP ALONG THE WEAK SURFACE TROUGH IN WESTERN IL...WHICH
MAY REACH AS FAR EAST AS LINCOLN AND PEORIA.

OVERALL TEMPS WILL AT OR BELOW NORMAL DURING THE CLOUDY DAYS AHEAD.

LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

WITH THE LARGE DIFFERENCES IN THE MODELS...WE STAYED THE COURSE IN
THE EXTENDED AND KEPT LOW CHANCE POPS FROM MONDAY IN THE WEST AND
EVERYWHERE FOR MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. IF THE GFS TIMING HOLDS
TRUE...WE COULD SEE MORE STEADY RAINS MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY.

THE COLD POOL APPEARS TO BE SHALLOW ENOUGH TO PREVENT SNOW CHANCES
FROM BEING MUCH OF A REALITY WITH THIS SYSTEM...AT LEAST NOT THIS
FAR SOUTH. A SECOND LOBE OF THE UPPER LOW IS EXPECTED TO DROP INTO
IL ON WEDNESDAY NEXT WEEK...BUT WILL NOT ADD POPS TO THAT PERIOD
JUST YET. THE COLD AIR BEHIND THAT LOW WILL KEEP TEMPS WELL BELOW
NORMAL BY MID WEEK NEXT WEEK.

SHIMON
&&

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 550 PM CST WED NOV 18 2009

MVFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE NEXT 24HRS AT ALL TAF SITES. SYSTEM
STILL REMAINS OVER CENTRAL ILLINOIS AND WILL SLOWLY MOVE NORTH
THROUGH THE PERIOD. DONT SEE MUCH OF A CHANGE UNTIL THE SYSTEM
GETS WELL NORTH OF THE AREA. ONLY CHANGE MAY BE LOWER CIGS IN THE
MORNING AND THEN WIND SHIFTS THROUGH THE PERIOD BECOMING SOUTHWEST
BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
