AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
232 AM CDT TUE OCT 26 2010

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 230 AM CDT TUE OCT 26 2010

MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGES TODAY INVOLVE SEVERE WEATHER THIS
MORNING...AND STRONG WINDS THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS.

LONG ADVERTISED MAJOR CYCLOGENESIS CONTINUES TO UNFOLD ON
SCHEDULE. LATEST SURFACE MAP SHOWING 976 MB LOW CENTERED NEAR
MINNEAPOLIS WITH COLD FRONT EXTENDING SOUTHWARD ACROSS CENTRAL
IOWA AND WESTERN MISSOURI. DESPITE THE DISTANCE FROM THE LOW...
PEORIA AND SPRINGFIELD HAVE ESTABLISHED OCTOBER LOW BAROMETRIC
PRESSURE RECORDS. PRESSURE FALLS ON THE ORDER OF 5 MB IN THE LAST
3 HOURS HAVE BEEN NOTED WEST OF I-55...WHICH HAS HELPED WINDS
ALREADY GUST FROM 40-45 MPH IN A FEW AREAS. ASSOCIATED UPPER LOW
CENTERED OVER THE MINNESOTA ARROWHEAD. SPECIAL 06Z ILX SOUNDING
AND WINCHESTER PROFILER SHOWING 40-45 KNOTS JUST OFF THE DECK AND
60-65 KNOTS AT 850 MB. CORE OF UPPER JET SPREADING INTO THE
CENTRAL PLAINS WITH 120+ KNOT WINDS...WHICH WILL PUSH INTO THE
MIDWEST OVER THE NEXT 12-18 HOURS.

SOME INITIAL STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS JUST WEST OF THE ILLINOIS
RIVER AT 2 AM...WITH MAIN SQUALL LINE FROM NEAR QUINCY SOUTHWEST
INTO SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI...JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT. THIS IS
EXPECTED TO RACE ACROSS THE CWA THROUGH MID MORNING. SIGNIFICANT
WIND DAMAGE THREAT WITH THIS LINE OF STORMS...WHICH SHOULD EXIT
THE CWA BY AROUND 11 AM.

00Z MODELS INDICATE THE CYCLONE SHOULD STRENGTHEN ANOTHER 15 MB BY
LATE EVENING...ACROSS FAR NORTHERN MINNESOTA. VERY TIGHT PRESSURE
GRADIENT...ALONG WITH 50-60 KNOTS OF WIND MIXING DOWN TO THE
SURFACE BEHIND THE FRONT...INDICATES THAT WE MAY BE CLOSE TO WIND
WARNING CRITERIA TODAY ACROSS THE NORTHEAST QUARTER OF THE CWA.
FEEL THIS IS CLOSE ENOUGH TO ISSUE A WARNING FROM GALESBURG TO
PARIS NORTHWARD...AND WILL BUMP UP THE WINDS TO THE SOUTH WHILE
KEEPING THE ADVISORY OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE CWA. AFTER A LULL
OVERNIGHT...PLENTY OF SUNSHINE WEDNESDAY SHOULD HELP MIX SIMILAR
WINDS DOWN TO THE SURFACE. WILL MONITOR THIS FOR ANOTHER MODEL
CYCLE...BUT ADVISORIES AT A MINIMUM WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED ON
WEDNESDAY AS WELL.

DUE TO THE ACTIVE WEATHER THIS MORNING...NO CHANGES ARE BEING MADE
TO THE FORECAST BEYOND THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 1105 PM CDT MON OCT 25 2010

LITTLE CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...TIMING OF SQUALL LINE
INTO OUR TAF SITES AND STRONG GRADIENT WINDS THE MAIN FORECAST
CONCERNS THIS PERIOD. COLD FRONT WAS STARTING TO PUSH ACRS
WRN IA LATE THIS EVENING WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
DEVELOPING WELL AHEAD OF THE FRONT. THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE WITH
THE LINE OF STORMS WHICH IS STILL EXPECTED TO PUSH IN AFTER 07Z
ACRS OUR WEST AND APPRCHG OUR EASTERN AREAS BY DAWN TUESDAY.
POCKETS OF MVFR CIGS HAVE MOVED INTO THE AREA DURING THIS EVENING
AND EXPECT THAT TO BE THE STORY OVERNIGHT. LOOK FOR THE POTENTIAL
FOR SFC WIND GUSTS APPRCHG 60 MPH WITH THE SQUALL LINE. WINDS JUST
OFF THE SFC WERE 50-60 KTS ALREADY THIS EVENING AND ANY ORGANIZED
CELL WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BRING DOWN GUSTY WINDS. SFC WIND
GUSTS HAVE HELD UP THIS EVENING AND WITH THE CONVECTION INCRG TO
OUR WEST WILL TAKE OUT THE LLWS. EXPECT SFC WIND GUSTS TO BE UP
TO 40 MPH IN A FEW AREAS...OUTSIDE OF ANY CONVECTION.

THE SQUALL LINE AND COLD FRONT WILL RACE TO THE EAST OF THE TAF
SITES BY NO LATER THAN 15Z TUESDAY...WITH STRONG GRADIENT WINDS
PREVAILING THRU THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD. ANY MVFR CIGS SHOULD
LIFT OFF TO OUR NORTH AND EAST BY LATE MRNG OR EARLY AFTN. SFC WINDS
TNT WL CONTINUE FROM A SSE (150-180 DEGREES) DIRECTION...AND THEN
VEER MORE INTO A SSW (210-240) DIRECTION TUE MRNG WITH A FEW GUSTS
APPRCHG 45 KTS...ESP ACRS THE NORTH.
