AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
345 AM CDT WED JUN 26 2013

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 333 AM CDT WED JUN 26 2013

MAIN FOCUS REMAINS ON THE NEXT 12 TO 18 HOURS...WITH SEVERE
WEATHER AND HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL.

INITIAL MCS HAS SHIFTED OFF TO THE SOUTHEAST...BUT A PAIR OF MCS
SYSTEMS WAS UPSTREAM OVER IOWA AND NORTHEAST MISSOURI AT 3 AM.
OVERALL SEVERE THREAT WILL BE COMPLICATED TODAY WITH THE MORNING
CONVECTION AND VARIOUS BOUNDARIES/MCV FEATURES...AS WELL AS A
SHORTWAVE MOVING INTO WESTERN ILLINOIS EARLY THIS MORNING...BUT
ADDITIONAL SEVERE WEATHER DOES APPEAR LIKELY. LATEST SPC DAY1
PROBABILITIES FOCUS A BIT MORE OF A TORNADO/WIND THREAT SOUTH OF
I-70. ALSO HAVE CONCERNS WITH THE HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL. EARLIER
CONVECTION BROUGHT A RATHER BROAD AREA OF 2 TO 4 INCHES FROM NEAR
BLOOMINGTON SOUTHEAST TO CLARK COUNTY...AND PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES STILL QUITE JUICY IN THE 1.8 INCH RANGE. HAVE ISSUED A
FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THIS PARTICULAR AREA FROM 7 AM TO MIDNIGHT.
EARLIER WATCH NEAR PEORIA AND GALESBURG WAS CANCELED AS LITTLE
HAPPENED THERE OVERNIGHT...BUT EVOLUTION OF IOWA MCS POINTS TO
SOME POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN EARLY THIS MORNING...SO WILL NEED TO
MONITOR THIS AREA CLOSELY.

BEYOND TODAY...NOT MUCH CHANGE MADE TO THE ONGOING FORECAST. UPPER
PATTERN STILL EXPECTED TO EVOLVE INTO A WESTERN RIDGE/EASTERN
TROUGH PATTERN LATE THIS WEEK...WITH A LOW CUTTING OFF IN THE
TROUGH OVER THE MIDWEST. PERIODIC SHOWER CHANCES WILL OCCUR
THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS THIS LOW SPINS OVER THE REGION.

GEELHART

&&

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 1205 AM CDT WED JUN 26 2013

MAIN EMPHASIS IN THIS FORECAST PERIOD CONTINUES TO REVOLVE AROUND
CONVECTION COVERAGE AND AFFECT ON CIGS AND VSBYS.

LATEST SHORT TERM MODELS CONTINUE TO SUGGEST ANOTHER COMPLEX OF
STORMS DEVELOPING ACROSS IOWA THEN TRACKING E/SE INTO CENTRAL
ILLINOIS TOWARD DAWN. WILL CARRY PREDOMINANT THUNDER AFTER 11Z AT
KPIA...THEN AFTER 13Z FURTHER EAST AT KDEC. AFTER A 3-4 HOUR
PERIOD OF CONVECTION WEDNESDAY MORNING...A LULL IN THE ACTIVITY
MAY DEVELOP. DUE TO UNCERTAINTY...WILL CONTINUE TO ONLY MENTION
VCTS FROM MID MORNING THROUGH MID-AFTERNOON WHEN COLD FRONT PUSHES
THROUGH THE AREA AND SHIFTS BETTER STORM CHANCES FURTHER EAST INTO
INDIANA. WINDS WILL BE SOUTHERLY AT LESS THAN 10KT TONIGHT...THEN
WILL BECOME WESTERLY BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON WITH SPEEDS AROUND
10 KTS WITH WIND DIR/SPEED QUITE VARIABLE IN AND NEAR TSRA.
