AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
124 PM CDT SUN MAR 8 2009

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 955 AM CDT SUN MAR 8 2009
INCOMING STORMS WILL KEEP THIS DISCUSSION RATHER SHORT. TEMPS
WARMING IN THE EAST AND SOUTHEAST QUICKLY AND HAVE UPDATED THE
GRIDS ACCORDINGLY. HAVE INCREASED THE WINDS TO COMPENSATE FOR THE
INCREASING PRESSURE GRADIENT OF THE RAPIDLY DEVELOPING LOW AND THE
MIXING DOWN POTENTIAL IN THE WARM SECTOR OF THE EAST AND
SOUTHEAST. ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY TO COVER THE MOST BLUSTERY
AREA ROUGHLY EAST OF THE ILLINOIS RIVER VALLEY THROUGH EARLY
EVENING. ISSUING ANOTHER ROUND OF ZONES MOMENTARILY UPDATED FOR
HEADLINES.

&&

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 114 PM CDT SUN MAR 8 2009
MAJOR ISSUE FOR AVIATION FORECAST WILL BE THE THREAT FOR SOME
SCATTERED THUNDER IN BMI...AND GRADIENT WINDS BEHIND THE EXITING
LOW PRESSURE AND COLD FRONT. WINDS ALREADY OUT OF THE
WEST/SOUTHWEST IN EXCESS OF 30KTS SUSTAINED...AND 40 TO 45 KT
GUSTS...ARE AFFECTING ILX TERMINALS. THIS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE
EARLY EVENING HOURS...DROPPING BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA AFTER 00Z.
BRIEF CLEARING BEHIND THE FRONT WILL FILL IN THIS EVENING WITH LOW
CLOUDS AND POSSIBLY REDUCED VISBYS IN THE NRN HALF OF THE STATE
IN THE WAKE OF THE GREATEST RAINFALL. LOW CLOUDS SHOULD SCATTER
BACK OUT LATE TOMORROW MORNING...WITH SOME CIRRUS OVHD.

.PREV DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 145 AM CST SUN MAR 8 2009

FRONTAL BOUNDARY MEANDERING ACROSS THE AREA AGAIN OVERNIGHT...WITH
1 AM POSITION ROUGHLY ALONG I-72. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE
BEEN NUMEROUS ACROSS THE NORTHWEST HALF OF THE CWA...AND CONTINUE
TO STREAM NORTHEAST OVER THE SAME AREAS OUT OF NORTHERN MISSOURI.
88D RADAR WIND PROFILE FROM LINCOLN AND ST LOUIS SHOWING 40-55
KNOT LOW LEVEL JET INCREASING SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY. MAIN SURFACE
LOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE BOUNDARY WAS ANALYZED IN SOUTHEAST KANSAS.

PASSAGE OF STORM SYSTEM TODAY...WITH ASSOCIATED SEVERE WEATHER AND
HEAVY RAIN THREATS...IS THE PRIMARY FOCUS FOR TODAYS FORECAST.
RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT ALSO
A CONCERN.

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

MUCH OF THE MORNING THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL BE ELEVATED AND
NORTH OF THE FRONT...WHICH WILL LIFT NORTH AGAIN THIS MORNING.
MODELS DIFFERING IN THE SPEED OF THIS LOW PASSAGE -- RANGING FROM
A LOCATION NEAR MACOMB TO JUST EAST OF LASALLE AT 18Z -- WITH THE
GFS BEING THE FASTER OF THE MODELS. WENT WITH A BLEND OF THE NAM
AND THE GFS WITH THE SPEED...RESULTING IN THE TRAILING COLD FRONT
ENTERING THE WESTERN CWA AROUND MIDDAY AND BEING OUT OF THE STATE
BY AROUND 5 PM. WHILE SOME OF THE EARLY MORNING STORMS MAY PRODUCE
LARGE HAIL...A SHORT WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY IS EXPECTED LATE
MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON FOR STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT AS WELL...DESPITE CAPES BEING ONLY ABOUT 500 J/KG.
LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS EXPECTED TO BE THE MAIN THREATS WITH
THE STORMS DURING THIS PERIOD. MUCH OF THE CWA FROM I-55 EASTWARD
WILL BE IN THE WARM SECTOR LONG ENOUGH TO GET TEMPERATURES INTO
THE MID TO UPPER 60S BEFORE THE FRONT ARRIVES...ESPECIALLY
CONSIDERING LOWER 60S ALREADY EXIST SOUTH OF A TAYLORVILLE TO
PARIS LINE.

HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE EXPECTED TO DRIFT EAST ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY OVERNIGHT...BEFORE PRECIPITATION BEGINS TO SURGE
NORTHEASTWARD TOWARD THE AREA ON MONDAY AFTERNOON. THINK THE GFS
IS BRINGING IN THE RAIN TOO FAST AND AM SIDING TOWARD THE NAM
DURING THIS TIME...KEEPING MONDAY FORECAST DRY AND SPREADING THE
RAIN IN DURING THE EVENING. GFS ALSO SEEMS TO BE SUFFERING FROM
SOME CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK AND AM ONLY GOING WITH ABOUT HALF OF ITS
RAIN TOTALS MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING.

LOW PRESSURE EXPECTED TO MOVE NORTHEAST OUT OF KANSAS ON TUESDAY.
ALL MODELS IN REASONABLE AGREEMENT WITH TRACK OF LOW REACHING
WESTERN WISCONSIN BY TUESDAY EVENING...WITH THE NAM JUST A BIT
SLOWER WITH THE ATTENDANT COLD FRONT SWINGING THROUGH THE CWA.
WITH NEARLY ALL OF THE CWA SPENDING SIGNIFICANT TIME IN THE WARM
SECTOR...SIDED MORE WITH THE WARMER MOS GUIDANCE IN MOST AREAS.

AS THE LOW MOVES NORTHEAST INTO CANADA...IT IS EXPECTED TO
SIGNIFICANTLY STRENGTHEN...RESULTING IN RATHER BREEZY CONDITIONS
CONTINUING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...

NO CHANGES MADE TO LATTER PART OF FORECAST. MAIN STORM TRACKS
EXPECTED TO BE ALONG THE CANADIAN BORDER AS WELL AS THE SOUTHERN
UNITED STATES...WITH HIGH PRESSURE IN BETWEEN. TEMPERATURES
EXPECTED TO BE NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL DURING THIS TIME.
