What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Lincoln, IL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 4, 6:52 PM CDT, 1 hour 41 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 4, 6:52 PM CDT, 1 hour 41 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
652 PM CDT SAT JUN 4 2011

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 302 PM CDT SAT JUN 4 2011

ANOTHER HOT/HUMID DAY UNFOLDING ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS. AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT CURRENTLY EXTENDS FROM NORTHERN ONTARIO
INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS. THIS FRONT WILL SINK INTO THE FORECAST
AREA LATER TODAY...REMAINING IN THE VICINITY UNTIL MONDAY. THIS
FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BE THE FOCUS FOR PERIODIC SHOWER/STORM
CHANCES WHILE IT IS AROUND. ANOTHER FRONT...FOLLOWING A SIMILAR
TRACK TO THIS ONE...SHOULD ARRIVE BY THURSDAY/FRIDAY WITH A
RENEWED THREAT FOR SHOWERS/STORMS. MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS REVOLVE
AROUND PRECIPITATION CHANCES WITH THESE FRONTS AND ANY NOCTURNAL
MCS/S...AS WELL AS HOW HOT IT WILL BE FOR THE UPCOMING WEEK.

12Z MODELS CONTINUE TO BE IN SURPRISINGLY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH
RESPECT TO MOST FEATURES EXPECTED TO IMPACT FORECAST AREA OVER THE
NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. DIFFERENCES PERSIST WITH THE MESOSCALE
CONVECTIVE DETAILS...AND THESE INDIVIDUAL DETAILS WILL STILL NEED
TO BE FINE TUNED AS THEY BECOME VERY SHORT TERM FORECAST CONCERNS.

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...VIGOROUS SHORT WAVE OVER THE
WESTERN GREAT LAKES/NORTHERN ONTARIO WILL HELP DRIVE A COLD FRONT
INTO THE REGION TONIGHT. ONCE THE FRONT ARRIVES...IT WILL TEND TO
STALL OUT IN THE VICINITY UNTIL MONDAY AS IT BECOMES MORE PARALLEL
TO THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW. THE FRONT WILL SHIFT BACK NORTH AS A WARM
FRONT ON MONDAY AS UPPER LEVEL RIDGING STARTS TO BUILD INTO THE
AREA.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DEVELOP ACROSS AT LEAST NORTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA BY THIS EVENING AS THE FRONT DRAWS
CLOSER. AN 18Z ILX SPECIAL SOUNDING SHOWED THE LOCAL AIRMASS WAS
STILL CAPPED...BUT THIS SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE BROKEN AS THE FRONT
PUSHES IN. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES SHOULD BE MUCH LOWER AS YOU HEAD
SOUTH TOWARD THE I-70 CORRIDOR AS THE FRONT WILL BE ARRIVING AT A
LESS FAVORABLE TIME OF DAY...AND THE CAPPING IS MUCH STRONGER AS
IS SUGGESTED BY THE MUCH MORE MIXED OUT SURFACE DEW POINTS. MCS
DEVELOPMENT IS SUGGESTED BY MANY MODEL SOLUTIONS LATER TONIGHT IN
THE VICINITY OF THE MO/IA BORDER AND THIS COMPLEX WOULD TEND TO
TRACK SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE FORECAST AREA BY SUNDAY MORNING.
OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM THIS COMPLEX AND THE STALLED FRONT SHOULD
SERVE AS THE FOCUS FOR DIURNAL SHOWER/STORM DEVELOPMENT AGAIN
SUNDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING.

SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE INTO THIS EVENING IN NORTHERN SECTIONS
OF THE FORECAST AREA GIVEN CAPE VALUES OF 3-4K J/KG ONCE THE CAP
BREAKS...THOUGH SHEAR PROFILES ARE NOT THAT GREAT. ECHO TRAINING
ON THE WEST/EAST ORIENTED FRONT ALSO SUGGESTS A HEAVY RAIN THREAT.
INSTABILITY IS EXPECTED TO BE SIMILAR SUNDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING...
BUT SHEAR PROFILES ARE EXPECTED TO BE STRONGER.

THE PRECIPITATION RISK SHOULD TAPER OFF MONDAY AS THE FRONT SHIFTS
BACK NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA...AND HEAT/HUMIDITY RE INTENSIFY.

LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...UPPER/SURFACE RIDGING BUILD
SIGNIFICANTLY FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. THIS SUPPORTS QUIET
WEATHER BUT INCREASINGLY OPPRESSIVE HEAT/HUMIDITY. A STRONG WAVE
TOPPING THE RIDGE WILL PUSH ANOTHER SLOW MOVING FRONT INTO THE
AREA FOR THURSDAY INTO SATURDAY...PROVIDING ANOTHER PERIOD OF
UNSETTLED WEATHER. WELL ABOVE NORMAL HEAT/HUMIDITY WILL PERSIST.

BAK

&&

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 652 PM CDT SAT JUN 4 2011...FOR THE 00Z TAFS

STORMS ARE DEVELOPING ALONG A COLD FRONT THAT IS DROPPING SOUTH
ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS. THE STORMS ARE MOVING FROM WEST TO EAST
AS THE FRONT DROPS SOUTH...SO HEAVY RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG
WITH HAIL.

WILL INCLUDE 2 TO 3 HOUR TEMPOS AT ALL TAF SITES FOR THE MOST
LIKELY PERIOD OF STRONG STORM ACTIVITY. THAT SHOULD BE 00-02Z FOR
PIA/BMI, 03Z FOR CMI, AND 04Z FOR SPI/DEC. PIA AND BMI APPEAR TO
BE NORTH CLEAR OF THE STRONGEST STORMS...WITH DEC IN THE PATH OF
THE STRONGEST STORM IF IT HOLDS TOGETHER THROUGH 830 PM.

WINDS WILL NOT BE STRONG...MAINLY WESTERLY UNTIL THE FRONT
PASSES...THEN NORTHWEST.

A STRONG COMPLEX OF STORMS MAY DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT IN S IOWA/N
MISSOURI THAT MAY MOVE INTO OUR WESTERN COUNTIES SUNDAY MORNING.
WE HAVE A VCTS FOR MOST OF THE DAY TOMORROW TO ACCOUNT FOR STORM
ACTIVITY. STORMS WILL BE TIED TO WHERE THE COLD FRONT STALLS OUT
IN OUR SOUTH-CENTRAL COUNTIES...POSSIBLY FROM SPI TO MTO.
