AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
1227 PM CDT SAT MAY 28 2011

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 1014 AM CDT SAT MAY 28 2011

FIRST BATCH OF SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS BEGINNING TO
MOVE INTO THE FAR WESTERN CWA. HAVE HAD SOME SCATTERED PATCHES OF
CLEAR SKIES...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE WESTERN CWA...ALTHOUGH THESE
HAVE BEGUN FILLING BACK IN.

MAIN CONCERN IS WITH DEVELOPMENT OF AFTERNOON CONVECTION. LATEST
HIGH-RESOLUTION MODEL RUNS SUGGEST RENEWED DEVELOPMENT NEAR THE
WESTERN PART OF THE I-72 CORRIDOR BY MID AFTERNOON...JUST NORTH OF
A WARM FRONT MOVING UP FROM THE SOUTH. WHILE THE GREATEST INSTABILITY
WILL BE FURTHER SOUTH TOWARD THE WARM FRONT...THE LATEST NAM
MODEL BRINGS MUCAPE VALUES OVER 1000 J/KG JUST SOUTH OF THIS
CONVECTION BY 21Z...WITH 0-6KM BULK SHEAR VALUES PROGGED TO BE
60-70 KNOTS OVER THE NORTHWEST HALF OF THE CWA. MOST OF THE AREA
IS IN A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER PER SPC 13Z DAY1 OUTLOOK.

A SECOND ROUND OF CONVECTION IS LIKELY TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE
NORTHERN CWA TONIGHT...AS THE WARM FRONT LIFTS INTO THE AREA. HAVE
UPDATED THE FORECASTS TO GO WITH LIKELY POPS ACROSS THE NORTHERN
THIRD OF THE CWA TONIGHT TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS.

UPDATED ZONES/GRIDS HAVE BEEN SENT.

GEELHART

&&

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 1226 PM CDT SAT MAY 28 2011

CONVECTION RAPIDLY INCREASING ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS THE LAST
COUPLE HOURS. ON THE UP SIDE...CEILINGS HAVE RAPIDLY BEEN MOVING
UP TO THE VFR RANGE BEHIND THE STORMS...BUT WILL LIKELY BE
TEMPORARY MVFR CONDITIONS AS THE STORMS PASS. GIVEN THE FREQUENCY
THAT CONVECTION IS EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT...HAVE ATTEMPTED TO
TIME A COUPLE DRY PERIODS THIS EVENING...PRIMARILY FROM KSPI-KDEC.
WILL NEED TO WATCH FOR SOME MVFR CEILINGS/VISIBILITIES OVERNIGHT.
CONDITIONS IMPROVING EVERYWHERE SUNDAY MORNING...BEHIND A WARM
FRONT PUSHING OUT OF THE AREA.

GEELHART

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 325 AM CDT SAT MAY 28 2011

ZONAL FLOW PATTERN FOR MUCH OF THE CONUS AS A E/W ORIENTED JET
PUSHES FROM NRN CA TO NRN IL. ONE LOW OVER THE NRN PLAINS/CAN
BORDER IS WEAKENING WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF A STRONGER LOW OVER
THE PAC NW COAST. THIS LOW OFF THE WEST COAST AND THE PATTERN
SHIFT THAT IT WILL DRIVE INTO THE ZONAL WAVE FLOW IS THE MAIN
WEATHER SYSTEM THAT WILL FORM THE FORECAST FOR THE NEXT FIVE DAYS.
HOWEVER... IN THE SHORT TERM...A WARM FRONT TO THE SOUTH WILL PUSH
UP AND THROUGH THE FA...BRINGING A CHANCE FOR TSRA THIS AFTERNOON
AND THIS EVENING. SPC HAS PAINTED A SLIGHT RISK FOR CENTRAL IL.
MODELS HAVE SOME SEMBLANCE OF CONTINUITY...AND VERY SMALL TWEAKS
ARE NECESSARY. MAIN CONCERN TO THE GRIDS OTHER THAN POPS REALLY
LIES IN THE MAX TEMPS AS THE MOS MAY WELL NOT BE WARM ENOUGH.
CLIMATE WILL PULL THE MOS DOWN OFF OF THE POTENTIAL HIGHS FOR THE
FIRST COUPLE DAYS OF THE WORK WEEK WITH THE REGION UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF A MASSIVE RIDGE.

SHORT TERM...TODAY AND TONIGHT...
WARMING OFFERS UP SOME INFLUENCE TO THE INSTABILITY IN ADVANCE OF
THE WARM FRONT...BUT THE STRONG MID LEVEL CAP WILL HOLD THE TS OFF
UNTIL LATER IN THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. ONCE THE STORMS DO
FIRE...THERE IS A POSSIBILITY FOR SOME ORGANIZATION WITH
SUPERCELLS AND BOWS...WIND AND HAIL. BULK SHEAR AND MUCAPE LEND
THEMSELVES TO STORM ORGANIZATION ONCE THE CAP HAS BEEN ERODED.
HOWEVER...ONE OF THE MAIN ISSUES FOR THIS PARTICULAR FORECAST HAS
BEEN THE CONSISTENCY OF THE TIMING OF THE COLLISION OF THE
INSTABILITY AND THE FORCING. AS A RESULT...GOING RELATIVELY
CONSERVATIVE WITH THE POPS.

LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
PAC NW LOW DIGS INTO THE FLOW LATER THIS EVENING AND AN UPPER
RIDGE OVER THE GULF COAST STATES...PUSHING UP INTO THE MIDWEST
KEEPS THE REMAINDER OF THE FIRST FIVE DAYS MORE OR LESS DRY. DRY
AND HOT. TEMPS CLIMBING INTO THE LOW 90S. CONCERN THAT THE
MOS/MODEL GUIDANCE IS NOT WARM ENOUGH AND THAT THE TEMPS HAVE TO
BE ADJUSTED SOMEWHAT...WILL ADDRESS WITH NEXT SET OF DATA. ANOTHER
FRONT TRIES TO MAKE IT THOUGH ON TUESDAY...BUT WITH MOVING A WEAK
FRONT INTO A 595 DM 500 MB HIGH...FEEL THAT THE MORE SCANT THE
POPS...THE BETTER. BUT ONCE AGAIN...NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO PULL
ENTIRELY AND WILL LEAVE THE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN FOR TUES/TUES
NIGHT... PARTICULARLY TUES AFTERNOON.
