Area forecast discussion, Feb 26, 5:33 AM CST, 3 hours 43 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL 533 AM CST TUE FEB 26 2013 .DISCUSSION... ISSUED 220 AM CST TUE FEB 26 2013 MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE CONTINUES TO BE PRECIP TYPE/AMOUNT WITH WINTER STORM SYSTEM TODAY. 07Z/1AM SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS 992MB LOW CENTERED OVER NORTHEAST ARKANSAS...ACCOMPANIED BY A LARGE SWATH OF PRECIPITATION ACROSS MISSOURI AND SOUTHERN ILLINOIS. REGIONAL OBS INDICATE MAINLY RAIN FALLING ALONG AND SOUTHEAST OF A KSPI TO KSTL LINE...WITH SNOW FURTHER WEST. HAVE EVEN NOTED A FEW LIGHTNING STRIKES WITH HEAVY SNOW ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTHERN MISSOURI OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF HOURS. ALOFT...DEEP UPPER LOW CONTINUES TO SPIN OVER ARKANSAS...WITH PRONOUNCED MID-LEVEL DRY SLOT WRAPPING NORTHWARD INTO WESTERN TENNESSEE. SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTHWARD INTO CENTRAL ILLINOIS OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. BASED ON UPSTREAM OBS AND 00Z NAM FORECAST SOUNDINGS...IT APPEARS CURRENT FORECAST OF PREDOMINANTLY SNOW ALONG AND WEST OF A JACKSONVILLE...TO MASON CITY...TO MINONK LINE IS RIGHT ON TRACK. FURTHER EAST...WILL HAVE TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON SURFACE TEMPS EARLY THIS MORNING...AS EVAPORATIONAL COOLING COULD LEAD TO SUB-FREEZING CONDITIONS AND A BRIEF PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN ALONG A BLOOMINGTON TO CHAMPAIGN LINE. IF FREEZING RAIN DOES INDEED OCCUR...DO NOT ANTICIPATE ANY MAJOR IMPACTS AS MARGINAL TEMPS WILL PRODUCE LITTLE TO NO ICING ON AREA ROADWAYS. AS UPPER LOW APPROACHES FROM THE SOUTH AND MID-LEVEL COOLING OCCURS BY MID TO LATE MORNING...EXPECT LIQUID PRECIP TO GRADUALLY TRANSITION TO A RAIN/SNOW MIXTURE ACROSS THE MIDDLE OF THE KILX CWA FROM SPRINGFIELD NORTHEASTWARD TO BLOOMINGTON AND CHAMPAIGN. MEANWHILE...RAIN WILL CONTINUE FURTHER SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA. MAIN PRECIPITATION AREA WILL SHIFT INTO NORTHERN ILLINOIS BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON...HOWEVER LIGHT SNOW WILL LINGER IN THE DEFORMATION ZONE ACROSS THE ILLINOIS RIVER VALLEY THROUGH EARLY EVENING. SNOW WILL BE HEAVIEST AND MOST PERSISTENT WEST OF THE ILLINOIS RIVER...WHERE WINTER STORM WARNING IS CURRENTLY IN EFFECT THROUGH 6 PM. GIVEN IMPRESSIVE HOURLY SNOWFALL RATES UPSTREAM ACROSS NORTH-CENTRAL MISSOURI AND COPIOUS MOISTURE FLOWING NORTHWARD AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING UPPER LOW...THINK 6 TO 8 INCHES OF SNOW WILL ACCUMULATE ALONG AND WEST OF A RUSHVILLE...TO WYOMING LINE. AMOUNTS WILL STEADILY DECREASE FURTHER EAST...WITH 3 TO 5 INCHES ALONG THE ILLINOIS RIVER...AND 1 TO 2 INCHES ALONG THE I-55 CORRIDOR. IN ADDITION TO THE SNOW...STRONG NORTHEASTERLY WINDS GUSTING TO BETWEEN 30 AND 35 MPH WILL CREATE CONSIDERABLE BLOWING AND DRIFTING WEST OF THE ILLINOIS RIVER THROUGHOUT THE DAY. UPPER LOW IS PROGGED TO TRACK INTO THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY TONIGHT...THEN ONLY SLOWLY LIFT NORTHEASTWARD TOWARD NEW ENGLAND OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. WITH STRONG CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT AND PIECES OF ENERGY ROTATING AROUND THE PARENT LOW...IT APPEARS AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF CLOUDY WEATHER WITH OCCASIONAL SNOW-SHOWERS IS ON TAP FROM TONIGHT THROUGH AT LEAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT. MINOR SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE LIKELY...HOWEVER WITH AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO BE ABOVE FREEZING ON WEDNESDAY...MUCH OF THE SNOW WILL MELT AS IT FALLS DURING THE DAY. BEST BET FOR ACCUMULATIONS OF AROUND 1 INCH WILL BE TONIGHT AND AGAIN WEDNESDAY NIGHT WHEN TEMPS FALL BELOW FREEZING. LOW PULLS FURTHER AWAY ON THURSDAY...HOWEVER TROUGH AXIS AND LINGERING LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE SHOULD KEEP THINGS CLOUDY WITH A FEW SNOW FLURRIES POSSIBLE. LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY 00Z FEB 26 MODELS CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE A CHILLY WEATHER PATTERN FOR CENTRAL ILLINOIS THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. UPPER RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS THE WESTERN CONUS OVER THE WEEKEND...WITH DEEP TROUGH DIGGING DOWNSTREAM OVER THE MIDWEST/GREAT LAKES. END RESULT WILL BE COOL/DRY WEATHER THROUGH SUNDAY. AFTER THAT...BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF SHOW A CLIPPER SYSTEM SLIDING SOUTHEASTWARD OUT OF CANADA EARLY NEXT WEEK. GFS TAKES THE WAVE RIGHT ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY...WHILE ECMWF IS FURTHER SOUTHWEST WITH THE TRACK. STILL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO IRON OUT THE DETAILS...AS THIS SYSTEM IS JUST OUTSIDE THE EXTENDED FORECAST RANGE. && .AVIATION... ISSUED 525 AM CST TUE FEB 26 2013 CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO DETERIORATE TO IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS MOST AREAS THIS MORNING AS A LARGE BAND OF SNOW...SLEET...FREEZING RAIN AND RAIN TRACKS NORTH. IT APPEARS THIS FIRST AREA OF PRECIP WILL ROTATE NORTH AND NORTHWEST AND THEN PIVOT BACK ALONG THE IL RIVER LATER THIS MORNING...SO WE MAY SEE A BREAK IN THE PRECIP WHEN THAT OCCURS OVER OUR FAR EAST AND SOUTHEAST TAF SITES. FORECAST SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO SHOW THE LOW LEVELS SATURATE AT ALL LOCATIONS DURING THE DAY SO IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE MOST SITES GO TO LOW MVFR OR IFR. ONCE THAT OCCURS...WE SHOULD HOLD WITH MOSTLY IFR/LIFR CONDTIONS IN SNOW/SNOW SHOWERS TONIGHT AS THE SYSTEM SLOWLY MOVES INTO INDIANA. STRONG EAST TO NORTHEAST WINDS WILL BACK MORE INTO A NORTHERLY DIRECTION LATER TODAY AND NNW TONIGHT. SPEEDS WILL BE FROM 20 TO 25 KTS WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS AOA 35 KTS THRU THE MORNING WITH A GENERAL DECREASE IN THE GUSTINESS THIS AFTERNOON AS THE STORM CENTER GETS CLOSER TO OUR AREA. NNW WINDS OF 10 TO 15 KTS ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT. SMITH && .ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WINTER STORM WARNING UNTIL 6 PM CST THIS EVENING FOR ILZ027>029- 036-040.
