AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
233 AM CDT THU APR 28 2011

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 233 AM CDT THU APR 28 2011

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY

UPPER LOW CURRENTLY SPINNING OVER MINNESOTA/WISCONSIN WILL BE THE
MAIN WEATHER-MAKER ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS TODAY. AS THIS FEATURE
ROTATES E/SE ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS...COLD 500MB TEMPS OF -22 TO
-24C WILL CREATE STEEP LAPSE RATES ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON.
WHILE SKIES WILL INITIALLY START OUT PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY EARLY
IN THE MORNING...CONDITIONS WILL QUICKLY BECOME CLOUDY TOWARD
MIDDAY. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST SUFFICIENT MOISTENING OF THE
PROFILE TO SUPPORT SCATTERED SHOWERS AND PERHAPS A RUMBLE OF
THUNDER AS INSTABILITY INCREASES. WILL ALSO BE A BREEZY DAY...AS
PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINS TIGHT BETWEEN DEPARTING LOW AND
APPROACHING HIGH. WESTERLY WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH WILL BE
COMMON...WITH GUSTS UP TO 30 TO 35 MPH AT TIMES. DUE TO THE
CLOUDS/WIND/PRECIP...TEMPERATURES WILL BE HELD WELL BELOW NORMAL
FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. AFTERNOON READINGS WILL RANGE FROM THE
MIDDLE 50S ALONG AND NORTH OF I-74...TO THE LOWER 60S SOUTH OF I-70.

UPPER LOW WILL ONLY MAKE SLOW PROGRESS EASTWARD...SO CLOUDS AND A
FEW SHOWERS WILL LIKELY PERSIST INTO THE EVENING HOURS. NAM-WRF RH
PROFILES KEEP CLOUD COVER ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS UNTIL
MIDNIGHT...THEN INDICATE A RAPID WEST-TO-EAST CLEARING TREND
OVERNIGHT. AS SURFACE/UPPER RIDGING BUILD INTO THE MIDWEST ON
FRIDAY...AMPLE SUNSHINE AND LIGHT WINDS WILL HELP BOOST TEMPS WELL
INTO THE 60S.

UPPER RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO QUICKLY BREAK DOWN OVER THE
WEEKEND...AS HIGH-AMPLITUDE TROUGH DIGS ACROSS THE CENTRAL/WESTERN
CONUS. DUE TO THE AMPLIFYING NATURE OF THE TROUGH...ITS EASTWARD
PROGRESS WILL BE GRADUAL...SO THINK SATURDAY WILL REMAIN LARGELY
DRY ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS. MODELS CONTINUE TO BRING COLD FRONT
ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER BY 00Z SUN...HOWEVER MOISTURE RETURN
FROM THE GULF WILL INITIALLY BE WEAK. AS A RESULT...AREAL COVERAGE
OF CONVECTION AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL BE MINIMAL SATURDAY
AFTERNOON/EVENING...AND GENERALLY CONFINED TO LOCATIONS WEST OF
THE I-55 CORRIDOR. AS DEEPER MOISTURE FLOWS NORTHWARD AHEAD OF THE
SLOWLY-ADVANCING BOUNDARY...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME
MORE NUMEROUS SATURDAY NIGHT.

LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

STILL SOME DIFFERENCES AMONG THE MODELS CONCERNING FORWARD SPEED
OF THE FRONT LATE IN THE WEEKEND...ALTHOUGH CONSENSUS SUGGESTS IT
WILL BECOME PARALLEL TO THE UPPER FLOW AND MAKE ONLY VERY SLOW
PROGRESS EASTWARD THROUGH MONDAY. THANKS TO SLOW-MOVING BOUNDARY
AND AN INCREASINGLY MOIST FLOW FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO...IT
APPEARS ANOTHER ROUND OF POTENTIALLY HEAVY RAIN MAY BE SETTING UP
ACROSS SOUTHEAST ILLINOIS FROM SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY
NIGHT. HAVE GONE WITH LIKELY POPS ACROSS THIS AREA...WITH ONLY
CHANCE POPS FURTHER NORTHWEST. IT IS STILL TOO EARLY TO TELL
EXACTLY HOW MUCH RAIN WILL OCCUR...HOWEVER ANOTHER 1 INCH OR SO IS
CERTAINLY NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. FRONT WILL EVENTUALLY GET
PUSHED OUT OF THE AREA BY A NORTHERN-STREAM SHORT-WAVE EARLY NEXT
WEEK...RESULTING IN DRY WEATHER FOR MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 1151 PM CDT WED APR 27 2011

PCPN IS ENDING AT CMI AND CLOUD HEIGHTS ARE RISING. WILL HAVE ALL
SITES STARTING WITH SCT CIRRUS AS SATELLITE TRENDS INDICATE THAT
BY 06Z...MOST OF CLOUD COVER WILL BE GONE...EVEN AT CMI. MODELS
INDICATE THIS WILL BE ALL THE CLOUDS DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
THEN CLOUDS WILL INCREASE AGAIN AS UPPER LEVEL TROUGH ROTATES
THROUGH THE AREA TOMORROW. WILL HAVE BROKEN CLOUDS AT LOWER VFR
LEVELS WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AS WELL. THIS WILL END AROUND SUNSET
BUT CLOUDS WILL REMAIN. WINDS WILL BE LIGHTER OVERNIGHT BUT
INCREASE AGAIN DURING THE DAY TOMORROW WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 30KTS.
WINDS WILL DECREASE AGAIN AT SUNSET TOMORROW.
