AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
617 PM CDT MON JUN 1 2009

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 300 PM CDT MON JUN 1 2009

LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS HAD A WAVY FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDING FROM
LOW PRESSURE OVER THE GREAT LAKES...SOUTHWEST INTO THE CENTRAL
PLAINS. THE POSITION OF THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY...AND THE
SHOWERS/STORMS THAT OCCUR WITH IT...ARE THE PRIMARY FORECAST
CONCERNS OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

12Z MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD OVERALL AGREEMENT WITH THE LARGE SCALE
WEATHER FEATURES EXPECTED TO IMPACT FORECAST AREA THROUGH MIDWEEK.
HOWEVER...SHOWERS/STORMS WILL BECOME WIDESPREAD FROM TIME TO TIME
ALONG THE FRONTAL ZONE AS IT APPROACHES AND MOVES THROUGH THE
FORECAST AREA. THE MODELS CONTINUE TO EXHIBIT VARYING DEGREES OF
CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK FROM SOME OF THESE STORMS WHICH MAKES
PINPOINTING THE MOST FAVORED POSITION OF THE FRONT AND STORM
DEVELOPMENT PROBLEMATIC. AT THIS POINT...HAVE TENDED TO FAVOR A
BLEND OF SOLUTIONS...BUT THIS WILL CERTAINLY NEED TO BE TWEAKED AS
THE MESOSCALE EFFECTS OF THE CONVECTION BECOME MORE CLEAR.

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
OVER THE GREAT LAKES IS BEING DRIVEN BY A SHORT WAVE RACING
ACROSS NORTHERN ONTARIO. BOTH OF THESE FEATURES WILL TRACK EAST
SOUTHEAST WITH TIME...DRAGGING THE TRAILING COLD FRONT SOUTH
THROUGH ILLINOIS TONIGHT. HOWEVER...THE FRONT WILL QUICKLY BECOME
NEARLY PARALLEL TO THE MEAN UPPER FLOW AND STALL OUT LATER
TONIGHT. THE FRONT IS MOVING INTO AN UNSTABLE AIRMASS ACROSS
CENTRAL ILLINOIS THIS EVENING. CAPE VALUES IN THE VICINITY AND
SOUTH OF THE FRONT SHOULD EXCEED 3000 J/KG INTO THIS EVENING.
AROUND 35 KTS OF 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO
CAPITALIZE ON THE INSTABILITY AND PRODUCE SOME STRONG TO SEVERE
STORMS.

THE STALLED FRONT WILL NOT SIT STILL FOR VERY LONG BEFORE BEING
PICKED UP BY A SHORT WAVE DIGGING OVER THE CANADIAN PRAIRIES. THIS
WAVE WILL PULL THE FRONT BACK INTO NORTHERN ILLINOIS CAUSING A BREAK
IN THE PRECIPITATION THREAT OVERNIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING. AS THIS
SECOND WAVE PASSES TO OUR EAST ON TUESDAY...THE FRONT WILL BEGIN TO
COME BACK SOUTH AGAIN INTO THE FORECAST AREA. IN ADDITION...ENERGY
IS EXPECTED TO EJECT OUT OF AN UPPER LOW SPINNING OVER THE ROCKIES
AND MAY HELP SHOWERS/STORMS TO DEVELOP TO DEVELOP IN THE WARM SECTOR
TO THE SOUTH OF THE MAIN FRONT. THE APPROACH OF THE FRONT...AS WELL
AS THE TWO UPPER DISTURBANCES...WILL PROVIDE ANOTHER RISK OF SEVERE
WEATHER TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

THE FRONT WILL KEEP HEADING SOUTH THIS TIME...AND WILL EXIT THE
FORECAST AREA ON WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL BRING THE PRECIPITATION RISK
TO AN END FROM NORTH TO SOUTH WEDNESDAY.

HIGH PRESSURE AND DRIER AIR WILL BE IN PLACE FOR WEDNESDAY
NIGHT/THURSDAY...PROVIDING A BREAK IN THE ACTIVE WEATHER FOR CENTRAL
AND SOUTHEAST ILLINOIS.

LONG TERM...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...MODELS/ENSEMBLES
CONTINUE TO HAVE THEIR DIFFERENCES TODAY IN THE EXTENDED RANGE OF
THE FORECAST. WHILE THE CONSENSUS THAT THE REX BLOCK OVER THE
EASTERN PACIFIC WILL BREAK DOWN BY THIS WEEKEND IS NOW STRONG...HOW
QUICKLY IMPULSES ARRIVE FROM THE WEAKENING CUTOFF UPPER LOW OFF THE
CALIFORNIA COAST IS LESS CLEAR. THIS DIFFERENCE IN TIMING IS STILL
SIGNIFICANT...PLUS THERE WILL BE MORE THAN ONE WAVE EJECTING OUT OF
THE EASTERN PACIFIC TROF RESULTING IN MORE THAN ONE PERIOD OF
PRECIPITATION RISK. THAT BEING SAID...DO NOT EXPECT THE PERIOD FROM
SATURDAY INTO MONDAY TO BE A WASHOUT AND DO NOT WANT TO CARRY
MENTIONABLE CHANCES OF SHOWERS/STORMS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PERIOD. FOR
NOW...WILL RESTRICT MENTIONABLE CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION TO THE
SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY TIME PERIOD WHERE AT LEAST SOME MODEL
CLUSTERING AND RUN-TO-RUN CONSISTENCY EXISTS. THIS PRECIPITATION
WILL OCCUR ALONG A FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT SHOULD LIE ACROSS THE
REGION...WITH THE FRONT BEING ACTIVATED BY THE EJECTING SHORT WAVE
ENERGY. A STRONGER PIECE OF ENERGY MAY HELP DRAG THE FRONT SOUTH OF
THE REGION BY LATE MONDAY AND END PRECIPITATION CHANCES. WILL KEEP
THE SUNDAY NIGHT/MONDAY PRECIPITATION CHANCES AROUND 20 PERCENT...
WHICH KEEPS IT OUT OF THE WORDED FORECAST...AT THIS TIME GIVEN THE
LINGERING UNCERTAINTY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE A TRICKY CALL DUE TO THE
AFOREMENTIONED FRONTAL BOUNDARY. AMONG THE MODEL DISCREPANCIES ARE
EXACTLY WHERE THIS FRONT WILL LIE OUT...PARTLY A RESULT IN THE
DIFFERENCES IN MODEL TIMING. HAVE CHOSEN TO FOLLOW A MIDDLE OF THE
ROAD TEMPERATURE SOLUTION...WHICH IS NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE
NORMAL...BUT ADJUSTMENTS WILL BE NEEDED ONCE THE EXPECTED FRONTAL
POSITION IS BETTER KNOWN.

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 617 PM CDT MON JUN 1 2009

THUNDERSTORMS MOVING INTO THE REGION AND WILL AFFECT BMI AND PIA
FOR SEVERAL HOURS THIS EVENING. SPI AND DEC MIGHT SEE CONVECTION
LATER AS ALL WEATHER IS NORTH OF THOSE SITES. CMI COULD ALSO SEE
CONVECTION BUT WILL KEEP THEM WITH VCTS FOR NOW. WILL HAVE TEMPO
GROUPS FOR PIA AND BMI. ADDITIONAL CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED ACRS
NORTHERN MO AND WILL LIKELY MOVE CLOSE TO PIA AND BMI LATER
TONIGHT SO WILL KEEP PCPN MENTIONED FOR THEM. FRONT SHOULD DROP
SOUTH SOME OVERNIGHT AND THIS WILL BE FOCUS FOR MORE CONVECTION
TOMORROW.
