AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
606 PM CST SUN FEB 27 2011

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 332 PM CST SUN FEB 27 2011

MODELS APPEAR TO BE IN SOME AGREEMENT WITH OVERALL SFC AND UPPER
AIR PATTERN...BUT DIFFER ON THE DETAILS WITH TEMP PROFILES AND
LOCATION OF GREATEST QPF. MAIN CONCERN IS THE WEATHER SYSTEM THAT
WILL BE AFFECTING THE CWA TONIGHT AND EARLY TOMORROW...WITH A WIDE
RANGE OF WEATHER.

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY

LOW PRSS AREA IN EASTERN CO WILL QUICKLY MOVE OUT INTO THE PLAINS
AND REACH SOUTHEASTERN IL BY MIDNIGHT...AND THEN WESTERN PA BY
TOMORROW MORNING. THE ASSOCIATED WARM FRONT WILL BE OVER THE AREA
TONIGHT AND PCPN WILL DEVELOP ALONG AND NORTH OF THE FRONT. HEAVY
RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS NORTHWESTERN AREAS OF THE CWA TONIGHT
WHILE CONVECTION DEVELOPS IN THE WARM SECTOR AND MOVES ACROSS
SOUTHEASTERN PARTS OF THE CWA. MOST OF THE AREA IS IN A SLIGHT
RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER FOR TONIGHT...WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF HAIL
AND DAMAGING WINDS...WITH ANY STORMS THAT DEVELOP. FORCING APPEARS
TO BE CONFINED ALONG AND NORTH OF THE FRONT...BUT WITH CONVECTION
AND HEAVY RAIN OVER THE REST OF THE AREA...WILL LEAVE HIGH POPS IN
FORECAST FOR TONIGHT AND OVERNIGHT. PCPN WILL TRANSITION TO SNOW
AS COLDER AIR ADVECTS INTO THE REGION. FORECAST SOUNDINGS
INDICATE A SMALL...MAYBE...3HR PERIOD OF A MIX RAIN/SNOW AND
SLEET. FREEZING RAIN COULD BE POSSIBLE IF COLD AIR ARRIVES ON THE
SURFACE BEFORE THE COLDER AIR ALOFT. BELIEVE THERE IS ONLY A SMALL
CHANCE OF THIS HAPPENING SO WILL NOT ADDED ANY FREEZING RAIN AT
THIS TIME. CHANGE OVER TO SNOW WILL OCCUR OVERNIGHT IN THE
NORTHWEST AND TOMORROW MORNING IN THE EAST AND SOUTHEAST.
ACCUMULATION AMOUNTS WILL BE SMALL AND THINKING OF A HALF INCH OR
LESS POSSIBLE OVER THE AREA. AREAS IN THE NORTHWEST COULD RECEIVE
UP TO AN INCH BY MORNING. PCPN WILL END BY NOON ACROSS THE AREA.
NOT LOOKING FOR MUCH SNOW OR ICE ACCUMULATION SO NOW WINTER
HEADLINE WARRANTED AT THIS TIME. HEAVY RAINFALL FORECASTED WILL
CAUSE RISES IN AREA RIVERS. ALREADY HAVE ESF OUT SO WILL KEEP THAT
GOING. FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE LOOKS HIGH ENOUGH...AND STORMS SHOULD
BE MOVING FAST ENOUGH...THAT FLASH FLOOD WATCH DOES NOT SEEM
NECESSARY AT THIS TIME.

REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST THROUGH WED NIGHT WILL BE DRY AS HIGH
PRSS PUSHES INTO THE AREA AND SLIDES EAST. ANOTHER FRONT WILL DROP
THROUGH THE AREA WEDNESDAY BUT WILL BE DRY AS MOISTURE SHOULD BE
CUTOFF FROM THE SYSTEM.

TEMPS WILL WARM TONIGHT BUT REMAINED FAIRLY STEADY GIVEN ALL THE
PCPN...CLOUDS AND COLD AIR ADVECTION TOMORROW. COOLER TEMPS
TOMORROW NIGHT...BUT WARMING BACK UP AS HIGH PRSS DOMINATES THE
WEATHER FOR MID WEEK.

LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

ANOTHER WEATHER SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO AFFECT THE AREA LATER IN THE
WEEK AND MODELS HAVE BEGUN TO SLOW DOWN THE ONSET OF THE PCPN.
PCPN COULD ALSO LINGER LITTLE LONGER THAN PREVIOUS MODEL RUNS
SUGGESTED. SO WILL HAVE CHC PCPN FOR FRI THROUGH SATURDAY...WITH
CONTINUED CHANCE IN THE SOUTHEAST FOR SAT NIGHT.

TEMPS SHOULD REMAIN WARM THROUGH THE PERIOD...BUT APPEARS ANOTHER
SHOT OF COOLER AIR IS IN STORE FOR THE AREA SAT NIGHT AND SUNDAY/

AUTEN

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 600 PM CST SUN FEB 27 2011...FOR THE 00Z TAFS

MPH. LARGE HAIL IS THE PRIMARY HAZARD. HIGH WINDS TO 50 KT WILL BE

OF THE WARM FRONT. STORMS WILL WEAKEN THE FARTHER NORTH INTO THE
COLD AIR THEY GO. WILL KEEP LIFR VIS AND SEVERE STORMS WITH HAIL
IN THE TAFS BETWEEN 02Z-04Z. HAVE INCLUDED THOSE HAZARDS IN BMI AS
