AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
831 PM CDT WED APR 17 2013

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 820 PM CDT WED APR 17 2013

ACTIVE WEATHER EXPECTED TO CONTINUE OVER AT LEAST THE NORTHWEST
HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT. OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM CONVECTION
THAT OCCURRED THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE NORTH HAS SPREAD TO JUST
SOUTH OF LITCHFIELD EARLY THIS EVENING. TEMPERATURES TO THE NORTH
OF THE BOUNDARY WERE IN THE MID 40S TO LOWER 50S...WHILE SOUTH
OF THE FRONT...READINGS WERE WELL INTO THE 70S WITH DEW POINTS IN
THE 60S. SEVERAL SUPERCELLS AFFECTING PARTS OF WEST CENTRAL IL AT
THIS TIME WERE TRACKING NORTHEAST AND WILL AFFECT PART OF THE
ILLINOIS RIVER VALLEY WITH ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN...HAIL AND ISOLATED
DAMAGING WINDS OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL ACROSS
THE NORTHWEST HALF WILL TOTAL 1 TO 2 INCHES...ON TOP OF THE 1 TO
2 INCHES FROM THIS MORNING. THE HEADLINES FOR FLOODING WILL REMAIN
IN PLACE.

LOOKING FURTHER SOUTHWEST...ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WERE DEVELOPING OVER PARTS OF EASTERN KS INTO SOUTHWEST MISSOURI
AND WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK NORTHEAST AHEAD OF THE STRONG COLD FRONT
WHICH IS SLATED TO SWEEP ACROSS OUR AREA TOMORROW EVENING. OTHER
THAN FIGHTING THE HOURLY TEMPERATURES IN THE GRIDS...ESPECIALLY
NORTH OF THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY...THE REST OF THE FORECAST IS IN GOOD
SHAPE...SO NO UPDATE IS NEEDED AT THIS TIME.

SMITH

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 630 PM CDT WED APR 17 2013

MAIN FORECAST CONCERN WILL BE COVERAGE OF CONVECTION TONIGHT ACRS
THE FORECAST AREA AS A STRONG STORM TRACKS NORTHEAST ACROSS THE
MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. TO THE NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT...MVFR AND
LOCAL IFR CIGS HAVE BEEN COMMON ALONG WITH RAIN AND SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS...WHILE TO THE SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY...CIGS HAVE
SCATTERED OUT WITH MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS PREVAILING. AN OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY FROM THE CONVECTION TO OUR NORTHWEST HAS SHIFTED SE
THRU ALL OUR TAF SITES BUT IS EXPECTED TO PUSH BACK NORTH AS
THE LOW LEVEL FLOW INCREASES OUT OF THE SOUTH TONIGHT AHEAD OF
THE STORM SYSTEM. SEVERAL WAVES OF CONVECTION ARE EXPECTED ACRS
THE AREA THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY AFTN BEFORE THE COLD FRONT
PUSHES ACRS THE AREA. SURFACE WINDS WILL BE ANOTHER PROBLEM
AS SOUNDING DATA INDICATES 50-60 KT WINDS AROUND 2000 FEET
LATE TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY. LOOK FOR EAST WINDS TO VEER INTO
THE SOUTHEAST TONIGHT AT 12 TO 17 KTS WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS
AROUND 25 KTS...AND THEN WINDS WILL VEER INTO A SOUTHERLY
DIRECTION BY MORNING AND INCREASE TO BETWEEN 20 TO 25 KTS
WITH A FEW GUSTS TO 35 KTS.

.PREV DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 322 PM CDT WED APR 17 2013

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...A WARM FRONT HAS LIFTED
INTO CENTRAL ILLINOIS AND WILL HELP SERVE AS A FOCUS FOR SHOWER
AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE NIGHT AND EARLY THURSDAY.
THE SHOWERS/STORMS INITIALLY WILL BE MOST NUMEROUS ALONG/NORTH OF
THE BOUNDARY...AS WILL THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL. THESE STORMS HAVE
THE POTENTIAL TO BE SEVERE...WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS
THE PRIMARY THREATS. A TORNADO CAN NOT BE RULED OUT IN THE
ENHANCED SHEAR RIGHT ALONG THE WARM FRONT. PLAN TO KEEP THE FLASH
FLOOD WATCH GOING EVERYWHERE NORTH OF THE I-70 CORRIDOR...WHERE
THE MOST RAIN HAS FALLEN RECENTLY AND FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE IS
LOWEST. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AROUND 1.5 INCHES AREAWIDE
SHOULD ENSURE EFFICIENT RAINFALL PRODUCTION UNTIL THE SYSTEM
DEPARTS LATER THURSDAY

THE GREATER RISK FOR WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS THE WILL
OCCUR THURSDAY ALONG/AHEAD OF A STRONG COLD FRONT. THE FRONT WILL
SWEEP WEST/EAST THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA FROM MIDDAY INTO EARLY
EVENING. MODERATE CAPE VALUES OF 1500-2000 J/KG AND IMPRESSIVE
BULK SHEAR VALUES OF 50+ KTS SUPPORT SIGNIFICANT STORM
DEVELOPMENT...WITH DAMAGING WIND GUSTS LIKELY AND A FEW TORNADOES
POSSIBLE. STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS CAN ALSO BE EXPECTED AHEAD OF THE
FRONT AS A PORTION OF THE 70+ KT 850 JET MIXES DOWN...ESPECIALLY
IN EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. MANY AREAS WILL LIKELY
SEE ADVISORY CRITERIA WINDS DURING THE DAY THURSDAY...BUT OPTED
AGAINST AN ADVISORY DUE TO THE EXPECTED SEVERE WEATHER HEADLINES
THAT SHOULD BE IN EFFECT...IN ADDITION TO THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH.
WANTED TO MINIMIZE HEADLINES WHERE POSSIBLE TO MINIMIZE HEADLINE
CONFUSION/OVERLOAD.

THE PRECIPITATION WILL TAPER OFF THURSDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY
AS THE SYSTEM PULLS AWAY AND MUCH COLDER AIR SETTLES INTO THE
REGION. QUIET BUT COOL WEATHER WEATHER SHOULD THEN LAST THROUGH
MOST OF THE WEEKEND WITH NEUTRAL UPPER FLOW AND A SURFACE HIGH IN
PLACE.

LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...MULTIPLE IMPULSES DIVING
IN THE NORTHWEST UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL CARVE OUT A BROAD TROF OVER
THE LOWER 48 STATES DURING THE PERIOD. THE TROFFING/IMPULSES MAY
POSE A PERIODIC RISK OF SHOWERS/STORMS LOCALLY...BUT MODEL
AGREEMENT ON THE DETAILS IS LOW. FOR THIS REASON...HAVE KEPT POPS
LOW AS WELL.
