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.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 21, 8:33 PM CST, 5 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
833 PM CST THU JAN 21 2010

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 833 PM CST THU JAN 21 2010

RAIN SHIELD THAT WAS PUSHING WEST ACROSS THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF
THE UPPER/SURFACE LOW MOVING EAST INTO THE OHIO/TENNESSEE RIVER
VALLEYS RAPIDLY DRIED UP THIS EVENING...AT LEAST THE PORTION THAT
WOULD IMPACT CENTRAL/SOUTHEAST ILLINOIS. THIS DRYING WAS TIED TO A
FAIRLY STRONG AREA OF LOW/MID LEVEL SUBSIDENCE TO THE NORTHWEST OF
THE SYSTEM...JUST IN ADVANCE OF ADVANCE OF A BUILDING UPPER/SURFACE
RIDGE AXIS. THE SUBSIDENCE/DRYING HAS BEEN SUFFICIENT TO DIMINISH
THE FOG ACROSS THE REGION AND IMPROVE VISIBILITIES FROM WHERE THEY
WERE JUST A FEW HOURS AGO. HOWEVER...FEEL THIS IMPROVEMENT WILL BE
SHORT LIVED DUE TO LITTLE/NO LOW LEVEL DRY ADVECTION TAKING PLACE
AND THE COOLING OF THE LOW LEVEL MOIST LAYER THROUGH DIURNAL
EFFECTS. IN ANY EVENT...THE LOW LEVEL MOIST LAYER REMAINS THICK
ENOUGH...WITH ENOUGH SHEAR AT THE TOP OF THE LAYER...TO KEEP
PATCHY DRIZZLE/FREEZING DRIZZLE GOING THROUGH THE NIGHT. THIS
EXPECTED DRIZZLE IS ALREADY SHOWING UP IN THE WEAK RETURNS
CURRENTLY ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS ON RADAR.

UPDATED GRIDS/ZONES TO REMOVE MENTION OF MEASURABLE RAIN/FREEZING
RAIN...HOWEVER PATCHY DRIZZLE/FREEZING DRIZZLE WAS ADDED IN ITS
PLACE. UPDATED REMAINDER OF THE WEATHER PARAMETERS OVERNIGHT INTO
FRIDAY FOR THE LATEST/EXPECTED TRENDS...BUT MOST OF THESE CHANGES
WERE MINOR TWEAKS.

BAK
&&

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 556 PM CST THU JAN 21 2010

LOW PRESSURE CENTERED OVER WESTERN KENTUCKY WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK
EAST THROUGH THE PERIOD. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE IN THE PLAINS WILL BUILD
THROUGH ON FRIDAY. NORTHEAST WINDS ACROSS THE CENTRAL ILLINOIS
TERMINALS WILL TREND MORE NORTHERLY AS THE LOW PULLS AWAY TONIGHT...
AND VARIABLE AS THE HIGH BUILDS IN ON FRIDAY. LINGERING PRECIPITATION
WILL END TONIGHT AS THE LOW PULLS AWAY...BUT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS
EXPECTED TO REMAIN TRAPPED THROUGH THE PERIOD AND KEEP CONDITIONS
IN THE LIFR/IFR CATEGORY.

BAK

.PREV DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 300 PM CST THU JAN 21 2010

12Z SHORT RANGE MODELS SIMILAR THROUGH FRI NIGHT THEN DIVERGE WITH
HOW FAST NEXT WX SYSTEM MOVES EAST SAT/SAT NIGHT. USED A BLEND OF
THE MODELS THIS WEEKEND WITH SREF FASTER WITH QPF SPREADING EAST
OF IL SAT AND NAM AND ECMWF SLOWEST WHILE GFS IN BETWEEN. BRIEF
WARM UP SAT WILL TURN COLDER AGAIN EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH STRONG
UPPER LEVEL TROF DIGGING INTO THE EASTERN U.S. LONG RANGE MODELS
LIKE ECMWF AND GFS NOW SHOWING A STRONGER ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE
DIGGING SOUTHWARD FROM WESTERN CANADA WED-FRI AND USHERING IN EVEN
COLDER AIR INTO IL.

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT.

NOT A VERY NICE DAY AGAIN WITH LOW OVERCAST CLOUDS...AREAS OF FOG
ESPECIALLY NORTH OF I-72...BRISK ENE WINDS AND A COLD RAIN SE OF THE
IL RIVER. BLOOMINGTON STILL AT 31F AND ISOLATED REPORTS OF LIGHT
FREEZING RAIN. MID AFTERNOON SURFACE MAP SHOWS 996 MB LOW PRESSURE
DEEPENING OVER SE MO. ALSO HAVE A 545 DM 500 MB LOW ALONG THE
EASTERN MO/AR BORDER WITH SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS EAST OF THESE
TWO FEATURE IN WESTERN KY/TN AND PASSING SOUTH OF IL SO FAR TODAY.
BUT WIDESPREAD SHIELD OF LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN SE OF THE IL RIVER
WHICH IS ROTATING NW FROM SE IL INTO CENTRAL IL DURING THE DAY.
TEMPS HOVERING NEAR FREEZING NORTH OF I-74 AND MID ALONG I-72 WITH
LOWER 40S SE OF I-70.

NAM AND GFS MODELS HAVE BEEN HANDLING LOW PRESSURE IN MID MS
VALLEY FAIRLY WELL AND MOVE IT INTO CENTRAL KY LATE TONIGHT. THIS
THIS TO DIMINISH RAIN SE OF THE IL RIVER DURING TONIGHT FROM WEST
TO EAST. BETWEEN HALF AND THREE QUARTER INCHES OF RAIN POSSIBLE
FROM TODAY INTO TONIGHT WITH LOCALLY UP TO 1 INCH AMOUNTS OVER
EASTERN IL. STILL HAVE SCATTERED LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS AND DRIZZLE NW
OF THE IL RIVER. ALSO CONTINUED AREAS OF FOG AND MOST WIDESPREAD
NORTH OF I-72 WHERE FROZEN GROUND AND SOME SNOW REMAINS. TEMPS TO
SLIP TO JUST BELOW FREEZING NORTH OF I-72 OVERNIGHT AND HAVE
PATCHY FREEZING DRIZZLE POSSIBLE THEN. NOT WIDESPREAD ENOUGH FOR A
FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY BUT SLIPPERY SPOTS WILL BE ON UNTREATED
ROADWAYS NORTH OF I-72. LOWS IN THE MID 30S OVER SE IL.

AREAS OF FOG AND PATCHY DRIZZLE FRI MORNING AND COULD STILL GET
PATCHY FREEZING DRIZZLE NORTH OF LINCOLN. OTHERWISE UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE BUILDS INTO IL AND WEAK HIGH PRESSURE MOVES IN BUT STRONG
INVERSION TO TRAP LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND LOW CLOUDS. HIGHS RANGE
FROM THE MID 30S FROM PIA AND BMI NORTH TO THE LOWER 40S SOUTH OF
I-72. PATCHY FOG COULD RETURN TO THE IL RIVER VALLEY OVERNIGHT FRI
NIGHT WHILE IT STAYS DRY ACROSS AREA YET.

MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW STRONG UPPER LEVEL TROF DIGGING OVER THE
ROCKIES AND STRONG SURFACE/UPPER LEVEL LOW EMERGING INTO THE
CENTRAL PLAINS BY SAT MORNING WHICH MOVES INTO THE UPPER MS VALLEY
BY DAWN SUNDAY AND PUSHES A COLD FRONT EAST INTO IL. WIDESPREAD
SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TO SPREAD EAST INTO WESTERN IL
LATER SAT MORNING AND INTO EASTERN IL LATER SAT AND CONTINUE SAT
NIGHT. COULD SEE BETWEEN A HALF AND 1 INCH OF RAIN FROM THIS SYSTEM
WITH HIGHEST AMOUNTS IN SE IL AND COULD DEAL WITH SOME WATER RUNOFF
PROBLEMS. WARMER HIGHS SAT IN THE MID TO UPPER 40S CENTRAL IL AND
LOWER 50S SE IL WITH BREEZY SSE WINDS. MILDER LOWS SAT NIGHT OF 40
TO 45F WITH SOME UPPER 30S NW OF THE IL RIVER. MILD HIGHS IN THE 40S
AGAIN SUNDAY WITH SOME LOWER 50S SE OF I-70. SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS
SUNDAY AND COULD MIX WITH LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS NW OF THE IL RIVER LATE
SUNDAY AFTERNOON AS COLDER AIR STARTS TO USHER IN BEHIND A COLD
FRONT.

SCATTERED LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS TURN TO LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS AND
FLURRIES. FROM NW TO SE SUNDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUE MONDAY AND
MONDAY NIGHT. THIS DUE TO STRONG UPPER LEVEL TROF DIGGING INTO THE
EASTERN U.S. AND TEMPS COOLING BACK TO NORMAL BY MONDAY.

LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.

UPPER LEVEL TROF TEMPORARILY LIFTS A BIT TUE WITH SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE IN THE SOUTHERN STATES WITH LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS AND
FLURRIES EXITING NE OF CENTRAL IL. AROUND A 1040 MB ARCTIC HIGH
PRESSURE SETTLES SOUTHWARD INTO THE MIDWEST FROM WESTERN CANADIAN
ROCKIES WED/THU DRIVING A POLAR COLD FRONT SE THROUGH IL WED AND
WED NIGHT. THIS COULD BRING CHANCE OF A FEW LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS OR
FLURRIES ALONG WITH EVEN COLDER AIR FOLLOWING IT.
