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 Dec 27, 5:21 PM CST, 9 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 27, 5:21 PM CST, 9 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
521 PM CST SUN DEC 27 2009

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 233 PM CST SUN DEC 27 2009

ACCUMULATING SNOWS FINALLY COMING TO AN END ACROSS CENTRAL AND
SOUTHEAST ILLINOIS AFTER AN UNUSUALLY LONG PERIOD OF ON/OFF SNOW
SHOWERS. UNFORTUNATELY...THEY HAVE NOT ENDED SOON ENOUGH TO PROVIDE
AN EASY TRAVEL DAY TO END THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. WHILE THE UPCOMING
WEEK DOES NOT LOOK TOO BUSY WITH RESPECT TO WEATHER SYSTEMS MOVING
THROUGH...TEMPERATURES WILL BE ON THE CHILLY SIDE OVERALL AND KEEP
THE SNOW WE HAVE ON THE GROUND FOR A WHILE. ASIDE FROM ONE STORM
SYSTEM FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK...THE PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN OF
THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS REVOLVES AROUND HOW COLD TEMPERATURES WILL BE.
HAVE GENERALLY STAYED COLDER THAN ALL FORECAST GUIDANCE THROUGH THE
WEEK GIVEN FRESH SNOW PACK AND COLD CANADIAN AIR MASS THAT WILL BE
WITH US THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS...WITH A REINFORCING SHOT OF COLD AIR
FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...LAST MAJOR SPOKE OF
ENERGY ROTATING AROUND THE PESKY UPPER/SURFACE LOW THAT HAS BEEN
WITH US THE PAST FEW DAYS IS PUSHING EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA AND
TAKING THE ACCUMULATING SNOWS WITH IT. THE FLOW ALOFT WILL REMAIN
AT LEAST WEAKLY CYCLONIC THROUGH MONDAY...AND A SHORT WAVE
CURRENTLY DIVING THROUGH SASKATCHEWAN AND MANITOBA WILL BRUSH BY
THE AREA DURING THE DAY MONDAY. HAVE MAINTAINED SCATTERED FLURRIES
THROUGH THE NIGHT...BUT LEFT OUT MENTION ON MONDAY DESPITE THE
PASSAGE OF THE SHORT WAVE. BY THE TIME THE WAVE GETS HERE THE
MOISTURE PROFILES WILL BE VERY SHALLOW...BASED FROM THE SURFACE TO
NO HIGHER THAN 850 MB. ANY CLOUDS IN THIS LAYER WILL BE COLD
ENOUGH...AROUND -10C...TO HAVE ACTIVATED ICE NUCLEI IN THEM...BUT
MOISTURE IS LIMITED ENOUGH TO KEEP FLURRY ACTIVITY SPOTTY AT BEST.

RIDGING BUILDS INTO THE REGION AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT MONDAY
NIGHT INTO TUESDAY NIGHT WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR SKIES TO CLEAR. THE
ASSOCIATED COLD/DRY CANADIAN AIR MASS WILL ALLOW FOR VERY CHILLY
TEMPERATURES...ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE
A FEW SUB ZERO OVERNIGHT LOWS MONDAY NIGHT/TUESDAY MORNING OVER
AREAS WITH MORE SUBSTANTIAL SNOW PACK.

AN IMPULSE ALOFT AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE FRONT WILL APPROACH THE
REGION FROM THE WEST TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. WINDS WILL
TURN SOUTHERLY AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM AND ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO
MODERATE TO NEAR NORMAL. THERMAL PROFILES WITH THIS SYSTEM APPEAR
COOL ENOUGH TO KEEP ANY PRECIPITATION IN THE FORM OF SNOW. BOOSTED
SNOW CHANCES INTO THE 40-50 PERCENT RANGE AS IT IS LOOKING
INCREASINGLY LIKELY THAT SNOW WILL OCCUR. HOWEVER...THE DETAILS
ARE STILL UNCERTAIN. IN RECENT DAYS THE MODELS SUGGESTED THAT THE
FLOW WOULD BE SPLIT FOR MIDWEEK...WITH THE BULK OF THE ENERGY AND
HIGHER PRECIPITATION STAYING NORTH/SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA WITH
THE IMPULSES IN THE NORTHERN/SOUTHERN STREAMS OF THE JET.
HOWEVER...THE MOST RECENT MODEL RUNS ARE SUGGESTING BETTER PHASING
WHICH WOULD TEND TO TARGET CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE U.S. MORE
STRONGLY. PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL NEED TO BE BOOSTED FURTHER IF
THIS TREND CONTINUES.

LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...MODELS/ENSEMBLES IN
REASONABLE AGREEMENT THROUGH THE PERIOD. SNOW CHANCES WILL LINGER
WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY THURSDAY UNTIL THE MIDWEEK SYSTEM
DEPARTS. A REINFORCING SHOT OF COLD AIR WILL SINK INTO THE REGION
BEHIND THE SYSTEM WITH UPPER TROFFING DIGGING ACROSS EASTERN NORTH
AMERICA AND A 1040 MB COLD CANADIAN HIGH BUILDING IN AT THE
SURFACE. THIS SHOULD BRING A ROUND OF SINGLE DIGIT OR SUB ZERO
LOWS AND HIGH STRUGGLING THROUGH THE TEENS.

BAK

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 521 PM CST SUN DEC 27 2009

CONDITIONS SHOULD REMAIN GOOD THIS EVENING AT ALL TAF SITES AS A
SMALL AREA OF VFR CIGS ROTATES THROUGH THE AREA. THERE IS ALSO A
LARGE AREA OF CLEAR SKIES TO THE NORTHWEST THAT WILL BE MOVING
IN...SO WILL HAVE ALL SITES AT SCT035 WITH A TEMPO GROUP FOR FIRST
2-3 HRS OF BKN035. THIS WILL ONLY LAST UNTIL AROUND MIDNIGHT AS
ANOTHER BATCH OF LOWER CIGS MOVES IN. THIS SHOULD STAY AROUND INTO
THE MORNING AND THEN SCATTER OUT IN THE AFTERNOON. CIG HEIGHTS
WILL BE MVFR CATEGORY...BASED ON CURRENT CIGS BACK OVER IOWA AT
THE MOMENT. WINDS WILL BE WESTERLY TONIGHT AND THEN INCREASE
DURING THE MORNING...WITH GUSTS. WINDS THEN SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST
IN THE AFTERNOON AS A WEAK SHORTWAVE MOVES THROUGH. NO PCPN IS
EXPECTED WITH THIS WEAK SHORTWAVE AT THIS TIME.
