Area forecast discussion, Jun 18, 1:34 PM CDT, 4 hours 15 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL 134 PM CDT TUE JUN 18 2013 .DISCUSSION... ISSUED 133 PM CDT TUE JUN 18 2013 LATEST MODEL SUITE IN REASONABLE AGREEMENT THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD AS HEIGHTS BUILD AND SUMMER MOVES INTO FULL SWING. SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY COLD FRONT AT 18Z EXTENDS FROM NEAR MACOMB...ACROSS DECATUR...TO NEAR TERRE HAUTE. INSTABILITY ALONG THE FRONT WILL LIKELY BE SUFFICIENT FOR CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING ALONG THE BOUNDARY WHERE CONVERGENCE AND POOLING DEW POINTS ARE OCCURRING. HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE UPPER GREAT LAKES IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO PUSH THE BOUNDARY SOUTHWARD THROUGH TONIGHT. DIURNAL STABILITY COMBINED WITH DRIER AIR BEING ADVECTED INTO ILLINOIS SHOULD END RAIN CHANCES BY MIDNIGHT. WEDNESDAY SHOULD BE DRY AS HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES. TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE COOLER THAN NORMAL. THAT WILL CHANGE AS THE WEEK GOES ON. LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY STRONG UPPER LOW IN THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC IS EXPECTED TO MAKE LANDFALL ACROSS THE NORTHWEST IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS. AS THIS FEATURE PUSHES EAST...RIDGE SHOULD BUILD AHEAD OF IT. MODELS ARE CONSISTENT IN DEVELOPING RISING HEIGHTS ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WITH RISES OF 160 METERS AT 500MB BETWEEN NOW AND FRIDAY EVENING. TEMPERATURES SHOULD RESPOND BY MOVING ABOVE NORMAL FOR THE LATE JUNE. LOW-LEVEL FLOW SHOULD ALSO COME AROUND TO SOUTH- SOUTHWEST BY FRIDAY ALLOWING DEW POINTS TO CLIMB. COMBINATION OF HUMIDITY AND TEMPS SHOULD BRING HEAT INDEX VALUES BETWEEN 95 AND 102 ACROSS THE AREA FOR THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. BIGGEST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MAJOR MODELS IS WHETHER RIDGING WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO KEEP PRECIP TO OUR NORTH. 00Z ECMWF/12Z NAM ARE WEAKEST AND DEVELOP A PATTERN THAT IS MOST CONDUCIVE TO DIURNAL CONVECTION. 12Z GFS/GEM IS STRONGER WITH RIDGE AND SUGGEST THAT ANY ACTIVITY SHOULD REMAIN ISOLATED AT LEAST THROUGH THE WEEKEND. MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN REDEVELOPING THE UPPER RIDGE BACK OVER THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES BY NEXT TUESDAY WHICH WILL DEVELOP A LITTLE MORE IN THE WAY OF FLOW ACROSS ILLINOIS AND HIGHER RAIN CHANCES. THIS TRANSITION MAY BE A LITTLE FAST AND WILL KEEP TUESDAY DOWN TO SLIGHT CHC FOR NOW BUT LATER SHIFTS WILL HAVE TO WATCH CAREFULLY FOR MODEL TRENDS. BARKER && .AVIATION... ISSUED 1218 PM CDT TUE JUN 18 2013 MAIN CONCERN FOR THIS TAF SET IS TIMING OF CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON. SEVERAL HIGH-RESOLUTION MODELS POINTING TO SCATTERED STORM DEVELOPMENT IN CENTRAL ILLINOIS BEGINNING AROUND 19-20Z AND MOST NUMEROUS DURING THE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON HOURS. HAVE KEPT VCTS WORDING AT ALL TAF SITES FOR THIS AFTERNOON...BUT HAVE FOCUSED ON THE KSPI-KDEC-KCMI CORRIDOR BY ADDING TEMPO PERIODS OF TSRA AND VARIABLE/GUSTY WINDS WITH THE STORMS...AS THIS AREA IS NEAR A FRONTAL BOUNDARY. SHOULD SEE THE CONVECTION FADE OUT WITH SUNSET. DRIER NORTHEAST FLOW WILL CLEAR OUT MUCH OF THE AREA OVERNIGHT. HAVE HELD OFF ON ANY OVERNIGHT MVFR FOG CONDITIONS... BUT ANY AREAS THAT GET EXCESSIVE RAINFALL DURING THE DAY MAY SEE SOME DEVELOP ALTHOUGH CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH AT THE MOMENT. GEELHART && .ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. &&
