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 Jun 23, 3:00 PM CDT, 40 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 23, 3:00 PM CDT, 40 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
300 PM CDT SUN JUN 23 2013

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 300 PM CDT SUN JUN 23 2013

TWO ONGOING COMPLEXES OF STORMS WILL HIGHLIGHT THE SHORT
TERM...A LINE OF STORMS IN THE NW AND A CLUSTER OF HEAVY RAIN IN
THE SE. HEAT AND PERIODIC STORM CHANCES WILL CONTINUE FOR MUCH OF
THE WEEK UNTIL A MORE SIGNIFICANT UPPER WAVE MAKES PROGRESS FROM
CANADA ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND CHANGES OUR UPPER FLOW OUT OF
THE NORTHWEST...AS A TROUGH DEVELOPS IN THE EAST AND A RIDGE TO
OUR WEST.

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY.

THE HEAVY RAIN COMPLEX IN THE SOUTHEAST ASSOCIATED WITH A MESO-
VORTEX APPEARS TO BE WEAKENING...ALBEIT WITH STEADY RAINS
CONTINUING ACROSS A WATER-LOGGED AREA. SEVERAL FLASH FLOOD
WARNINGS REMAIN IN EFFECT INTO THIS EVENING FOR THAT AREA...WHERE
3-5 INCHES OF RAIN HAS FALLEN. SPC MESO-ANALYSIS GRAPHICS SHOW
INSTABILITY PARAMETERS IN THE SE AREA APPEAR TO BE
STABILIZING...WHILE BETTER SUPPORT FOR STRONG STORMS EXISTS AHEAD
OF THE LINE OF STORMS ENTERING OUR NW COUNTIES. ML-CAPE VALUES OF
3000-3500 J/KG SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO KEEP THEM ADVANCING INTO OUR
AREA. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AROUND 1.7" AND VERY WEAK WINDS IN
THE MID-UPPER LEVELS LEND SUPPORT FOR HEAVY RAIN FROM THOSE STORMS
INTO THIS EVENING. THEY SHOULD MAINTAIN BETTER FORWARD PROGRESS
BASED ON THE MOVEMENT OF THE UPPER SHORTWAVE ON WATER VAPOR
SATELLITE. THE TRACK OF THE LINE OF STORMS SHOULD EVENTUALLY BEGIN
TO CURL TO THE SOUTHEAST. WE TRIED TO MATCH POPS TO CURRENT
CONDITIONS AND PROGRESS THEM THROUGH THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT
UTILIZING SATELLITE AND RADAR TRENDS. MODELS HAVE GENERALLY BEEN
ALL OVER THE PLACE WITH CONVECTIVE SOLUTIONS...SO THEY HAVE NOT
BEEN MUCH HELP TO FORECAST DETAILS IN THE NEAR TERM.

WE USED GENERAL MODEL TRENDS WITH THE PROGRESS OF THE OVERALL
PATTERN THROUGH MID WEEK. WE EXPECT TO REMAIN IN THE WARM SECTOR
THROUGH THURSDAY...A GRADUAL BUILDING OF THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
INTO CENTRAL IL FOR TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...WHICH MAY HELP
SUPPRESS STORMS FOR AROUND 24 HOURS. WE KEPT SLIGHT CHANCE POPS
TUE-TUE NIGHT AS A RESULT. UPPER TROUGHING REDEVELOPS FOR
WEDNESDAY AS A SURFACE TROUGH PROGRESSES ACROSS IL WED NIGHT
INTO THURSDAY. THAT WILL INITIALLY ESTABLISH NORTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT...AND BEGIN OUR AIRMASS CHANGE THAT IS PROJECTED TO FINALLY
BECOME ESTABLISHED NEXT WEEKEND.

IN THE MEAN TIME...TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY LOOK TO BE OUR HOTTEST
DAYS OF THIS WEEK...AS HEAT INDEX READINGS CLIMB INTO THE 100-105
RANGE EACH AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING...OUTSIDE OF ANY STORM
COMPLEXES.

WE INCREASED POPS INTO THE CHANCE CATEGORY FOR WED AFTERNOON AND
CONTINUED CHANCE POPS WED NIGHT...CONFINING THEM TO THE EASTERN
AREAS ON THURSDAY AS THE TROUGH PUSHES EAST INTO INDIANA. WE MAY
SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF STRONG STORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN ALONG THAT
FRONT...AS PLENTY OF MOISTURE POOLING IS PROJECTED TO OCCUR AHEAD
OF THE SYSTEM.

LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.

A COOLING TREND SHOULD ALREADY BE NOTICEABLE ON FRIDAY AS SURFACE
WINDS TURN OUT OF THE NORTHWEST AND DEWPOINTS BEGIN TO DROP FROM
THE 70S INTO THE 60S. WE HELD ONTO A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
STORMS ON FRIDAY...AS THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS DEPARTS EASTWARD AND A
500MB SHORTWAVE ROTATES THROUGH THE BACK SIDE OF THE TROUGH. THE
DAY SHOULD BE DOMINATED BY CLOUDS HELPING TO KEEP HIGHS IN THE MID
80S. DRY CONDITIONS SHOULD RETURN FRI NIGHT...WITH A FEW
INSTABILITY SHOWERS POSSIBLE IN THE EAST ON SATURDAY AS THE COLD
POOL ALOFT PASSES OVER THE AREA. HIGHS ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY
SHOULD TOP OUT IN THE LOWER 80S WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE LOW
60S...WITH MUCH LESS HUMIDITY IN THE AIR.

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 102 PM CDT SUN JUN 23 2013

ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS BEGINNING TO DEVELOP AS CONVECTIVE TEMPS
ARE REACHED THIS AFTERNOON AND HAVE VCTS UNTIL 02Z. A BETTER
CHANCE FOR STORMS MID AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING AS COMPLEX
CURRENTLY PUSHING INTO EASTERN IA MOVES ACROSS CENTRAL IL. LATEST
RUN OF HI-RES MODELS INDICATES THIS AFFECTING CENTRAL IL TERMINALS
BEGINNING AT 20Z AT KPIA AND EXITING KCMI AROUND 02Z. TEMPO VSBY
REDUCTIONS AND MVFR CEILINGS DURING THIS TIMEFRAME. ISOLATED
HEAVIER CELLS COULD BRING IFR CEILINGS/VSBYS AND GUSTY VARIABLE
WINDS FOR A BRIEF TIME. AFTER THIS ACTIVITY SHIFTS EAST THIS
EVENING...LOW CONFIDENCE IN REDEVELOPMENT OVERNIGHT WITH HIGHER
CHANCES TO OUR WEST. SOUTHWEST WINDS GUSTING AROUND 20 KTS THIS
AFTERNOON WILL SUBSIDE TO UNDER 10 KTS AFTER O2Z...THEN PICK UP TO
10-15 KTS AFTER 14Z/MON.
