What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Lincoln, IL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 28, 9:07 PM CDT, 1 hour 40 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 28, 9:07 PM CDT, 1 hour 40 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
907 PM CDT TUE MAY 28 2013

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 907 PM CDT TUE MAY 28 2013

WHILE MOST OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST ILLINOIS HAS BEEN DRY THIS
EVENING...AN AREA OF VERY HEAVY RAINFALL OCCURRED ACROSS PORTIONS
OF KNOX...STARK AND MARSHALL COUNTIES. SPOTTER REPORTS AROUND 3
INCHES WERE RECEIVED ACROSS PARTS OF KNOX COUNTY. THIS RAINFALL
PRODUCED FLASH FLOODING IN SOME AREAS. THESE STORMS FORMED ALONG
AN AXIS OF HIGH INSTABILITY ON THE WARM SIDE OF A FRONT THAT
EXTENDS FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS INTO THE GREAT LAKES.

COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF PRECIPITATION UPSTREAM HAS BEEN ON THE
DECREASE OVERALL WITH DIMINISHING DIURNAL INSTABILITY.
HOWEVER...STILL EXPECT AT LEAST SCATTERED SHOWERS/STORMS THROUGH
THE NIGHT ACROSS THE NORTHWEST HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. THESE
STORMS WILL BE AIDED BY AN INCREASING LOW LEVEL JET ALONG THE
SURFACE FRONT. HOWEVER...SOME OF THE HIGH RESOLUTION MODELS
SUGGEST THE CONVECTION WILL BE A LITTLE FURTHER SOUTH INTO THE
FORECAST AREA THAN IT HAS BEEN...LIKELY FIRING IN THE VICINITY OF
OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM THE EARLY EVENING CONVECTION.

GOING FORECAST IS IN GOOD SHAPE OVERALL. ONLY PLAN TO TWEAK FOR
THE EXPECTED OVERNIGHT TRENDS.

BAK
&&

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 645 PM CDT TUE MAY 28 2013

PREDOMINANTLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED ACROSS THE CENTRAL ILLINOIS
TERMINALS THROUGH THE 00Z TAF VALID TIME. CAN NOT RULE OUT A FEW
SHOWERS/STORMS FOR THE EVENING AND EARLY OVERNIGHT HOURS
TONIGHT...ALTHOUGH THE GREATEST CONCENTRATION OF PRECIPITATION
SHOULD FALL NORTH OF THE TERMINALS CLOSER TO A FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO
THE NORTHWEST OF THE AREA. SOUTHERLY WINDS SHOULD PERSIST TO THE
SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY...OUTSIDE OF ANY LOCAL STORM IMPACTS...
BECOMING GUSTY DURING PEAK DIURNAL MIXING.

BAK
&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 300 PM CDT TUE MAY 28 2013
COMPLICATED WEATHER PATTERN IN GENERAL MADE MORE COMPLICATED IN
THE MODELS WITH A STRUGGLE WITH THE PATTERN SHIFT OVERALL.
HOWEVER...FOR ALL THE NUANCES WITH THE WAVES MOVING THROUGH THE
FORECAST AREA...THE ONE AGREED UPON PORTION IN ALL THE OPERATIONAL
MODELS IS THAT CENTRAL ILLINOIS WILL BE RATHER WET THROUGH THE END
OF THE WEEK. WARM FRONT WELL TO THE NORTH OF THE CWA...LEAVING ILX
IN THE WARM SECTOR WITH WARM TEMPS AND DEWPOINTS IN A RATHER MUGGY
AIRMASS. THIS WARMTH AND MOISTURE WILL HELP TO FUEL ANY MCS REMNANTS/BOUNDARIES
THAT MOVE INTO THE FA...IN ADDITION TO THE OVERALL FRONT SCHEDULED
TO MOVE INTO THE MIDWEST AT MIDWEEK. WITH SWRLY FLOW ALOFT...THE
FRONT IS GOING TO LOSE ITS FORWARD MOMENTUM...SLOW MOVING...AND
SLOW TO EXIT. AS A RESULT...ANY WAVES THAT EJECT OUT OF THE SW AND
ALONG THE BOUNDARY WILL RESULT IN ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. HEAVY RAIN IS LIKELY INVOF WHEREVER THE FRONT
LANDS...WHICH WILL NOT ONLY BE DIFFICULT TO PIN...FRONT WILL ALSO
END UP GETTING INFLUENCED GREATLY BY MESOSCALE INFLUENCES/COLD
POOLS/OUTFLOWS AS WELL. WITH GROUND ALREADY VERY SATURATED FROM
PREVIOUS RAINS...THE FLASH FLOODING THREAT MAY GET A BREAK
TOMORROW FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL ILLINOIS...BUT IT WILL BE BACK BY
THURSDAY.

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TOMORROW...
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS STILL POSSIBLE THROUGH THE EVENING WITH
CONVECTIVE INITIATION LIKELY TO THE WEST IN NRN MO JUST ACROSS THE
MISS RIVER VALLEY. BOTH RUC AND NMM/WRF KEEPING SOME
ACTIVITY...THOUGH THE RUC/RAP IS ACTUALLY CONFINING MUCH OF THE
ACTIVITY TO THE NORTH. THE 4KM WRF/NMM DEVELOPS MORE OF A LINEAR
COMPLEX THAT EVENTUALLY MOVES THROUGH THE FA TO THE SE AND WEAKENS
AS IT TRAVERSES THE CWA. SHOWER THREAT FINALLY DIMINISHES BRIEFLY
FOR WEDNESDAY...THOUGH THE THREAT OF ANY INTERACTION WITH THE WARM
FRONT TO THE NORTH RESULTS IN POPS ACROSS THE NRN TIER OF THE
STATE. WARM TEMPS...SOUTHERLY WINDS...AND ABUNDANT MOISTURE IN THE
BOUNDARY LAYER WILL PUSH HEAT INDEX VALUES INTO THE UPPER 80S/NEAR
90. WINDS WILL BE RATHER BREEZY AND HELP TO COUNTER SOME OF THE
EFFECTS...THOUGH CAUTION SHOULD BE USED BY ANYONE OUTDOORS
TOMORROW.

LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY...
THE WESTERN TROF DIGS IN...AMPLIFYING THE WAVE PATTERN OVER THE
CONUS AND LEAVING THE UPPER MIDWEST IN SWRLY FLOW...THROUGH
THURSDAY...WITH WARM TEMPS YET AGAIN ON THURSDAY. TEMPS IN THE NW
SHOULD BE SOMEWHAT DAMPENED HOWEVER...BY CLOUD COVER FROM
APPROACHING BOUNDARY. IN ADDITION...DIURNAL CURVE WILL LIKELY BE
SHATTERED BY THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY RUINING THE STEADY CLIMB OF
TEMPERATURES IN ANY ONE SPOT AHEAD OF THAT BOUNDARY. FORECAST
CONFIDENCE ABOUT DETAILS COMPLICATED WITH THE ELONGATED TROF IN
THE ECMWF/NAM IS PROVIDING A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT SOLUTION WITH THE
SFC SYSTEM THAN THE NAM. THAT BEING SAID...THE ECMWF IS LOOKING A
BIT MORE LIKE THE GFS IN THE 12Z RUN. THOUGH EVERYONE IS IN
AGREEMENT ABOUT ENTERING A PROLONGED PERIOD OF PRECIP THROUGH DAY
5...THE DIFFERENCES IN THE MODELS WILL IMPACT THE DYNAMICS AND
ASSOCIATED SEVERE WEATHER THREAT. FORECASTING ONSET OF THE
HEAVIEST PRECIP ALONG THE APPROACHING FRONT. IN SUMMARY...THE RAIN
IS NOT OVER AS LONG AS THAT FRONT WITH THE NEXT SYSTEM GETS SLOWED
BY PARALLEL FLOW ALOFT.
