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 21, 2:50 PM CDT, 3 hours 29 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 21, 2:50 PM CDT, 3 hours 29 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
250 PM CDT TUE JUN 21 2011

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 250 PM CDT TUE JUN 21 2011

A WARM AND HUMID DAY HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST
ILLINOIS IN THE SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF A STRONG COLD FRONT. MAIN
FORECAST CONCERN TODAY REVOLVES AROUND THE PASSAGE OF THIS COLD
FRONT TONIGHT AND THE ASSOCIATED SHOWER/STORM/SEVERE WEATHER
THREAT. BEHIND THE FRONT...THE MAIN CONCERNS REVOLVE AROUND
PRECIPITATION CHANCES AND TEMPERATURES FOR THE REST OF THE WORK
WEEK AS COOLER AIR SETTLES IN BEHIND THE FRONT.

12Z MODELS IN REASONABLE AGREEMENT WITH MOST OF THE FEATURES
EXPECTED TO IMPACT FORECAST AREA OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. DO
NOT HAVE A PREFERRED MODEL WHERE MINOR DIFFERENCES ARISE...SO
GENERALLY WENT WITH A BLEND/ENSEMBLE MEAN SOLUTION.

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...SHOWERS/STORMS BEGINNING TO
FIRE AHEAD OF APPROACHING FRONT...BOTH OVER AND IN THE VICINITY OF
THE FORECAST AREA. THESE STORMS ARE DEVELOPING IN A MODERATELY
UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT... WITH CAPE VALUES OF 2-3K J/KG. MODERATE
SHEAR IS EVIDENT IN THE AREA AS WELL...WITH 0-6KM SHEAR VALUES
AROUND 40 KTS. THE MOST FOCUSED FORCING LOCALLY IS ASSOCIATED WITH
A MCV LIFTING TOWARD THE FORECAST AREA FROM JUST SOUTH OF THE ST
LOUIS METRO AREA. EXPECT SHOWERS/STORMS TO CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE
AREA UNTIL FROPA LATER TONIGHT...WITH THE MAIN SEVERE THREAT
EXPECTED LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY THIS EVENING IN ADVANCE OF THE
MCV.

AN UNSEASONABLY STRONG/COLD UPPER LEVEL LOW...CURRENTLY OVER THE
NORTHERN PLAINS/UPPER MIDWEST...WILL SLOWLY DRIFT EAST ACROSS THE
GREAT LAKES BY THE END OF THE WEEK. THIS FEATURE WILL BE SLOWLY
WEAKENING AS IT MOVES EAST...BUT THE COLD AIR/CYCLONIC FLOW
ASSOCIATED WITH IT SHOULD PROVIDE A FEW SHOWERS AND ABUNDANT CLOUD
COVER AS IT MOVES BY. THE SHOWERS/CLOUDS WILL BE MOST NUMEROUS
ACROSS NORTHERN SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA AND WILL HAVE A
DECIDEDLY DIURNAL PEAK EACH DAY. THE COLD AIR WRAPPING AROUND THIS
SYSTEM WILL KEEP POST FRONTAL TEMPERATURES BELOW NORMAL INTO THE
WEEKEND.

LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...MOSTLY QUIET WEATHER IS
ANTICIPATED THROUGH THE EXTENDED RANGE OF THE FORECAST...ALONG
WITH SLOWLY MODERATING TEMPERATURES. THE UPPER LOW THAT WILL HAVE
BEEN WITH US FOR MUCH OF THE WEEK WILL BE REPLACED BY FLAT
RIDGING. THE BULK OF THE PRECIPITATION DURING THE PERIOD SHOULD BE
SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY ALONG A PRIMARY BAROCLINIC
ZONE...THOUGH SOME PRECIPITATION CAN NOT BE RULED OUT FROM WEAK
WAVES TOPPING THE FLAT RIDGE. HOWEVER...CONFIDENCE IN ANY RAINFALL
OCCURRING IS TOO LOW TO GO ABOVE A SLIGHT CHANCE AT THIS TIME.

BAK
&&

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 1211 PM CDT TUE JUN 21 2011

CONCERN IN THE SHORT TERM INVOLVES CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. HAVE
HAD SOME THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING RECENTLY AND ARE APPROACHING
KPIA FROM THE SOUTHWEST. COVERAGE SHOULD INCREASE INTO THE
AFTERNOON. REMAINING TAF SITES SHOULD SEE AT LEAST SOME VCTS BY
20-21Z. HAVE MADE LITTLE CHANGES TO THE EXISTING TEMPO PERIODS FOR
MORE SUSTAINED THUNDERSTORMS...AND WILL REFINE THEM BETTER ONCE
THE CONVECTION STARTS GOING. MUCH OF THE ACTIVITY SHOULD BE OUT OF
THE TAF SITES BY ABOUT 03Z.

PROBLEM IN THE LONGER TERM INVOLVES POTENTIAL MVFR CEILINGS
WEDNESDAY MORNING...AS SURFACE AND UPPER LOW SLOWLY SPINS ACROSS
NORTHERN IOWA. WILL LIKELY SEE A SURGE OF CEILINGS AROUND 2500
FEET OR SO DROPPING SOUTHEAST DURING THE MORNING. AREAS AROUND
KPIA/KBMI MOST LIKELY TO SEE THIS ARRIVE BY LATE MORNING. FURTHER
SOUTH PROGRESSION IS LESS CLEAR AT THIS TIME...SO WILL KEEP VFR
CONDITIONS FROM KSPI-KCMI FOR NOW.
