AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
253 AM CDT SAT APR 9 2011

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 253 AM CDT SAT APR 9 2011

WARM FRONT DRAPED JUST SOUTHWEST OF OUR CWA EARLY THIS MORNING.
LARGE MCS HAS BEEN ROLLING ACROSS MISSOURI THE LAST FEW HOURS...
AND ACTIVITY IS JUST CROSSING THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER NEAR QUINCY.
MCS ALSO HAS BEEN SHOWING SIGNS OF SPLITTING INTO TWO...WITH THE
SOUTHERN AREA ACROSS SOUTHWEST MISSOURI. LOW STRATUS DECK
BLANKETING THE NORTHERN 2/3 OF THE CWA JUST NORTH OF THE
FRONT...WITH SOME LOWER VISIBILITIES BELOW 2 MILES AT TIMES.

WHILE THE SHORT-TERM CONCERN IS WITH THE STORMS MOVING OUT OF
MISSOURI...THE PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN REMAINS THE POTENTIALLY
SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK SUNDAY NIGHT.

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH MONDAY...

SOUTHERN PART OF THE MCS INDICATED BY MOST MODELS TO SHOW SOME
SORT OF SOUTHEAST CURVE AS IT MOVES INTO THE STATE...WHILE THE
NORTHERN SEGMENT LIFTS EAST-NORTHEAST AND HAS RECENTLY SHOWN SIGNS
OF DEVELOPMENT WELL NORTH OF THE MAIN CLUSTER OF STORMS. EXTENT OF
POPS WILL LIKELY BE MADE AS A LAST MINUTE CALL...AND MAY NEED TO
INCLUDE A PRE-1ST PERIOD SEGMENT IN THE ZONES TO ADEQUATELY
ADDRESS THE PRESENT ACTIVITY IN THE WEST.

MOST OF THE MODELS INDICATE THE FRONT SHOULD LIFT NORTH OF THE
CWA BY MIDDAY...WITH THE GFS LAGGING BEHIND BY A COUPLE HOURS.
WITH THAT IN MIND...AM EXPECTING HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO MID 80S
ACROSS MOST OF THE CWA...EXCEPT PERHAPS SOME UPPER 70S NORTH OF
THE I-74 CORRIDOR. ANOTHER WARM DAY EXPECTED SUNDAY...WHICH WILL
ALSO BE QUITE WINDY. SHOULD SEE WINDS GUSTING TO 30-35 MPH BY
AFTERNOON.

LATEST SPC CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK FOR SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT KEEPS THE
NORTHWEST THIRD OF THE CWA IN A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE. INSTABILITY
INCREASES SIGNIFICANTLY WITH MUCAPES 2000-3000 J/KG BY AFTERNOON.
SHOULD SEE A RATHER SIZEABLE CAP THOUGH... WITH EROSION BEGINNING
ACROSS THE FAR WESTERN CWA BY LATE AFTERNOON. MAIN ACTIVITY SHOULD
BEGIN FORMING ACROSS IOWA AND MISSOURI BY LATE AFTERNOON...THEN
MOVE EAST. ZERO-1KM HELICITY AROUND 175 M2/S2 NEAR THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER BY 00Z WOULD SUPPORT SOME POTENTIAL TORNADIC
ACTIVITY INITIALLY...BUT SYSTEM SHOULD EVOLVE INTO MORE OF A
SQUALL LINE AS IT CROSSES OUR CWA AS WINDS ALOFT ON THE FORECAST
SOUNDINGS BECOME MORE UNIDIRECTIONAL FURTHER EAST. TEMPERATURE
LAPSE RATES OF 8-9 C/KM INDICATING HAIL POTENTIAL AS WELL. SEVERE
THREAT AFTER MIDNIGHT SHOULD MAINLY BE ACROSS THE EASTERN
CWA...THEN DONE BY SUNRISE AS COLD FRONT PUSHES OUT OF THE AREA.

DEEP UPPER TROUGH WILL BE CROSSING THE CWA ON MONDAY. WRAPAROUND
FLOW AROUND THE PARENT LOW WILL RESULT IN WINDY CONDITIONS AGAIN.
HAVE KEPT SOME SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN MOST OF THE AREA FOR SOME
SHOWERS...ALTHOUGH MOST OF THE MODELS SUGGESTING THE DRY SLOT
SHOULD KEEP THE MAIN THREAT TO THE NORTH.

LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...

NO REAL CHANGES MADE TO THIS PART OF THE FORECAST. UPPER RIDGING
EXPECTED TO BE BUILDING ACROSS THE CENTRAL UNITED STATES THROUGH
MIDWEEK. GFS AND ECMWF SHOWING A TROUGH WORKING ITS WAY ACROSS THE
NATION...BUT THE ECMWF DIGS THE TROUGH MUCH DEEPER AND SLOWS ANY
ASSOCIATED RAINFALL INTO OUR AREA.

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 1155 PM CDT FRI APR 8 2011

QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT LIES ACROSS SOUTHERN IL WESTWARD THROUGH
CENTRAL MO AND EASTERN KY. CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED NORTH OF THIS
BOUNDARY ACROSS CENTRAL/NORTHERN MO...AND IS IN A POSITION TO
POSSIBLY AFFECT SPI AND/OR DEC BY 09Z. AIRMASS ATOP THE STABLE
BOUNDARY LAYER CONTINUES UNSTABLE WITH INCREASING MID LEVEL MOISTURE
AND STEEP LAPSE RATES. MEAN STORM MOTION VECTORS SUGGEST THAT THE
STORMS SOUTHWEST OF IRK WILL CONTINUE EASTWARD AND THEN TURN A
LITTLE SOUTHEAST ON THE EASTERN EDGE OF THE UPPER RIDGE. WILL PUT IN
A TEMPO FOR THUNDER AT SPI/DEC WITH THIS IN MIND. LOW CLOUDS
CONTINUE NORTH OF A BRL-CMI LINE...WITH SOME MINOR FLUCTUATIONS IN
THE CLOUD EDGE. EXPECT CLOUDS BELOW 1K FT TO CONTINUE AT
PIA/BMI...AND FLIRT OCCASIONALLY WITH CMI. IN ADDITION...MOST
TERMINALS ARE NOW GETTING INCREASING FOG. THIS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL
THE SURFACE FRONT TO THE SOUTH MAKES ITS RETURN NORTHWARD AS A WARM
FRONT 15Z-18Z SAT. THE NAM MODEL AND ITS 4KM WRF-NMM VERSION BOTH
PUSH THE MORNING CONVECTION EAST OF THE AREA BY 18Z SAT...WHICH
COULD DELAY THE RETURN OF THE WARM FRONT A LITTLE. PREVIOUS TAFS HAD
A 16Z-18Z TIMING...SO WILL PUT A COUPLE HOUR DELAY INTO THE 06Z
TAFS. ONCE THE TERMINALS ARE WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR...PRECIPITATION
CHANCES SHOULD DIMINISH ALONG WITH ANY LINGERING LOW CLOUDS/FOG.
WINDS WILL THEN BE MAINLY FROM THE SOUTH 10-12 KT...THEN INCREASING
AFT 00Z SUN AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS IN RESPONSE TO
PRESSURE FALLS OUT WEST.
