AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
605 PM CDT SAT JUN 25 2011

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 300 PM CDT SAT JUN 25 2011

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...
CURRENT THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN THIS AFTERNOON INTO
THE EARLY EVENING HOURS AS THEY MOVE EAST THROUGH THE RELATIVELY
STABLE AIR COVERING THE AREA. MORE CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
OVER NORTHERN MO/SOUTHERN IA LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND MOVE THROUGH
CENTRAL IL DURING THE EVENING HOURS. ALTHOUGH THE AIRMASS WILL BE
OVERTURNED BY THE AFTERNOON CONVECTION...SOME ELEVATED HAILERS WILL
BE POSSIBLE AS A POOL OF UNSTABLE AIR TO THE SOUTHWEST GETS LIFTED
ABOVE THE MORE STABLE BOUNDARY LAYER RESIDING OVER CENTRAL IL. MOST
OF THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD BE EAST OF THE AREA AROUND SUNRISE SUNDAY.
WILL RETAIN SOME CHANCE POPS SUNDAY AFTERNOON AS RESIDUAL OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES AND BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS COULD ALLOW SCATTERED STORMS TO
REDEVELOP.

WITH THE SYNOPTIC WARM FRONT REMAINING IN THE AREA THROUGH MONDAY...
WILL HAVE TO KEEP AT LEAST CHANCE POPS IN THE FORECAST. HIGH
PRECIPITABLE WATER WILL CONTINUE OVER THE MIDWEST RESULTING IN
PERIODIC HEAVY RAIN EVENTS. THESE WILL BE DRIVEN BY MESOSCALE
FEATURES THAT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO PREDICT VERY FAR IN ADVANCE...BUT
IT APPEARS THAT MONDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING WILL BE A FAVORED TIMEFRAME
FOR HEAVIER RAIN AS THE SYNOPTIC COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH. THIS WILL
BRING DRIER AIR INTO THE REGION AND BRING AN END TO THE RAIN BY
TUESDAY MORNING.

LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...
MAINLY QUIET WEATHER IS FORECAST FOR MOST OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD.
UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD NORTHWARD AS AN UPPER LOW COMES INTO THE WEST
COAST. THIS LOW WILL THEN OPEN UP AND ERODE THE NORTHWEST PART OF
THE RIDGE...BUT HEIGHTS ARE EXPECTED TO STAY RATHER HIGH OVER THE
MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. SEVERAL OTHER MINOR SHORTWAVES WILL ALSO BE
MOVING THROUGH THE MAIN UPPER WESTERLIES THAT WILL LIE FROM THE
NORTHERN ROCKIES INTO THE GREAT LAKES...NORTH OF THE UPPER RIDGE.
THEIR ATTENDING COLD FRONTS WILL HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME PUSHING
THROUGH THE RIDGE...AND THIS CONSTITUES THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE.
ALTHOUGH TIMING COULD CHANGE...THE UPPER LOW INITIALLY OVER THE WEST
COAST SHOULD BE LOCATED OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS BY SATURDAY. THIS
SYSTEM WILL HAVE THE BEST CHANCE AT BRINGING A FRONT THIS FAR SOUTH
INTO THE RIDGE...SO WILL HAVE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR THAT TIMEFRAME.
OTHERWISE...MAINLY DRY ALTHOUGH HUMID WITH A WARMING TREND.

&&

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 600 PM CDT SAT JUN 25 2011

COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MRNG AND
CIGS THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERN THIS PERIOD. SYNOPTIC SCALE WARM FRONT
STILL WELL TO OUR SOUTH WITH SCATTERED CONVECTION OCCURRING NORTH
OF THE BOUNDARY...AND EXPECT THAT TO CONTINUE INTO THE LATE EVENING
HOURS. IT APPEARS THE STRONGER STORMS WILL FIRE UP TO OUR WEST LATER
THIS EVENING AND PUSH ESE INTO SOUTHERN IL OVERNIGHT WITH A LARGE
STRATIFORM RAIN AREA TO ITS NORTH WHICH WILL AFFECT PARTS OF THE
FORECAST AREA. THIS WILL EFFECTIVELY MOISTEN THE LOWER LEVELS OF
THE ATMOSPHERE AND BRING ABOUT A PERIOD OF MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS WITH
THE SHOWERS AND TSRA. THIS SHOULD CONTINUE INTO THE MORNING OF SUNDAY
BEFORE CONDITIONS START TO IMPROVE DURING THE AFTERNOON AS THE
UPPER LEVEL WAVE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RAIN OVERNIGHT MOVES OFF TO
OUR EAST. WE SHOULD SEE VFR CONDITIONS MOVE BACK INTO THE AREA BY
MID AND LATE AFTERNOON.

WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN LIGHT FROM THE EAST TONIGHT AND THEN
VEER MORE INTO A SOUTHEAST DIRECTION ON SUNDAY WITH SPEEDS OF 10
KTS OR LESS.
