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 Aug 4, 7:00 AM CDT, 1 hour 37 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 4, 7:00 AM CDT, 1 hour 37 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
700 AM CDT TUE AUG 4 2009

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 240 AM CDT TUE AUG 4 2009

A FAIRLY QUIET NIGHT HAS BEEN FOUND ACROSS THE CWA...WITH JUST
PERIODIC SHORT-LIVED PULSE STORMS FROM TIME TO TIME. CAPES AS
ADVERTISED BY LAPS ARE OVER 3000 J/KG ACROSS THE SOUTH HALF OF THE
CWA BACK INTO MISSOURI...ALTHOUGH A FAIR AMOUNT OF CAPPING STILL
EXISTS. WE HAVE BEEN WAITING MOST OF THE NIGHT FOR THE LONG-
ADVERTISED MCS TO BEGIN FORMING...AND THE INCREASE IN STORMS
ACROSS SOUTHWEST IOWA AND NORTHWEST MISSOURI APPEARS TO BE IT.
THIS PARTICULAR AREA HAS BEEN SHOWING AN INCREASING LOW-LEVEL JET
OF 40-50 KNOTS ACCORDING TO THE PROFILER AND RADAR NETWORKS...A
FEATURE THE MODELS HAVE BEEN INDICATING THE LAST COUPLE RUNS.

PROPAGATION OF THIS MCS AND ITS EFFECTS ON LATER STORM
DEVELOPMENT TODAY ARE THE MAIN FORECAST ISSUES FOR THIS PACKAGE.

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY...

4KM WRF MODEL FROM NCEP SEEMS TO BE HANDLING THE DEVELOPMENT OF
THIS MCS THE BEST...SO WILL USE ITS OUTPUT FOR GUIDANCE IN TODAYS
FORECAST. AREAS SOUTH OF I-72 MOST LIKELY TO SEE THE EFFECTS OF
THE MCS DURING THE MORNING HOURS...LINGERING THROUGH MIDDAY
ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST CWA. EXTENT OF SEVERE WEATHER THREAT...
ESPECIALLY ANY REDEVELOPMENT LATER TODAY...WILL BE COMPLICATED BY
MESOSCALE BOUNDARIES AND CLOUD SHIELD. MOST OF CWA EXCEPT FOR THE
FAR NORTH REMAINS IN SPC SLIGHT RISK.

PARENT FRONTAL BOUNDARY...WHICH EXTENDS FROM NORTHERN WISCONSIN
INTO CENTRAL KANSAS EARLY THIS MORNING...WILL SLOWLY MOVE INTO THE
CWA BEFORE BECOMING STATIONARY OVERNIGHT. CANNOT RULE OUT
ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS LONG AS THIS BOUNDARY IS
AROUND. CURRENTLY AM PLANNING TO DIMINISH POPS A BIT OVERNIGHT
FROM NORTH TO SOUTH...CONTINUING SLIGHT CHANCES IN AREAS SOUTH OF
I-72 THROUGH WEDNESDAY. BEYOND THAT...MODELS INDICATING POTENTIAL
FOR ANOTHER NOCTURAL THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX JUST TO OUR WEST. GFS
MOST BULLISH IN BRINGING CHANCES FURTHER INTO OUR CWA...BUT ALSO
APPEARS TO BE SUFFERING ITS USUAL CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK ISSUE. WILL
MENTION LOW-END CHANCES ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST CWA WEDNESDAY NIGHT
INTO THURSDAY.

KEPT SLIGHT CHANCES GOING FOR THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY.
PERSISTENT BOUNDARY FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS EASTWARD WILL LIKELY
BEGIN MOVING NORTHWARD AS A WARM FRONT DURING THIS TIME FRAME. MAY
NEED TO INCREASE POPS AS THIS CAN BE BETTER REFINED IN LATER RUNS.

LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

HEAT AND HUMIDITY ARE THE MAIN FEATURES OF INTEREST FOR THE
EXTENDED PERIOD. LONGER RANGE MODELS REMAIN CONSISTENT IN BUILDING
500 MB RIDGE EASTWARD ACROSS THE CONUS...CENTERING A SPAWLING 597
DM UPPER HIGH JUST SOUTH OF ILLINOIS BY SUNDAY MORNING. MAIN
STORM TRACK WILL BE PUSHED NORTHWARD CLOSE TO THE CANADIAN BORDER
AS THIS BUILDS INTO THE MIDWEST. RAISED HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR
SATURDAY BY A FEW DEGREES AS 850 MB TEMPERATURES REACH INTO THE
LOWER 20S CELSIUS...ALTHOUGH DID NOT GO AS HIGH AS MOS GUIDANCE
DURING THIS PERIOD.

NEXT SHORTWAVE EXPECTED TO APPROACH THE AREA ON MONDAY...WHICH MAY
BE THE NEXT PERIOD FOR ANY SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES.

GEELHART

&&

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 659 AM CDT TUE AUG 4 2009

TWO GOOD SIZED MESO SCALE CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES APPEAR TO BE
COMBINING ACROSS NORTHERN MO. THE RESULT WILL A PROLONGED PERIOD
OF SHOWERS AND T-STORMS IN CENTRAL IL THIS MORNING. LOCATIONS IN
THE I-72 CORRIDOR FROM SPI-CMI SHOULD EXPERIENCE THE BRUNT OF THE
HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS. IFR VSBYS CAN ALSO BE EXPECTED WITH
THE STORMS DUE TO HEAVY RAIN AND FOG/MIST. THE RAIN SHOULD TAPER OFF
BY LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON AND THEN A LULL IN THE ACTIVITY IS
EXPECTED. THIS MAY BE SHORT LIVED SINCE THE PRESENCE OF NUMEROUS
LOW LEVEL BOUNDARIES AND PLENTY OF INSTABILITY SHOULD RESULT IN
ANOTHER ROUND OF T-STORMS. THERE IS TOO MUCH UNCERTAINTY THOUGH AS
TO THE EXACT LOCATION OF ANY BOUNDARIES...SO FOR NOW WENT WITH CB
CLOUDS AFTER 20Z.
