Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
841 PM CDT Wed Apr 2 2014

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 835 PM CDT Wed Apr 2 2014

00z surface analysis showing the stationary frontal boundary well
south of our area this evening. Complex of storms that moved through
the Interstate 70 corridor has shifted to the east with scattered
showers continuing mainly north of I70. Further southwest, a large
complex of storms will continue to develop over east/southeast KS
tonight and spread northeast as the warm front lifts north towards
morning. ILX local meso tools continue to indicate the better
instability remains south of the boundary, but we have noticed an
increase in elevated instability with most unstable capes over the
past few hours over 500 j/kg across the far south thru southwest.
As the low level jet increases and interacts with the stalled boundary
to our south, expect a general increase in showers and storms over
all of the area late tonight and that will continue into at least
Thursday morning. Warm front now not expected to push north of the I74
corridor until late afternoon or evening with two windows of opportunity
for severe storms, the first being along the warm front tomorrow afternoon
with the second threat coming with the surging cold front in the late
evening and overnight hours.

Have made some adjustments to the POPs and temperatures for the overnight
hours. We should have the update out by 900 pm.

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 625 PM CDT Wed Apr 2 2014

Initial storm complex along the I70 corridor will track south of
the area this evening. It still looks as if there will be a break
in the rainfall for a least a few hours. Additional development is
likely late tonight as a low level jet intersects the stalled boundary
over extreme southern Illinois.

Cigs/vsbys should gradually degrade to IFR in all areas as the
periodic showers/storms impact the area. SPI, DEC and CMI have
done so in the past couple of hours and we expect the remaining
TAF sites to our north to do so as well later this evening.  Once
they develop, they should persist until the warm front lifts north
of most of the terminals, except perhaps KPIA & KBMI late tomorrow
morning or early afternoon. East winds of 10 to 15 kts will prevail
tonight and become southeast at SPI, DEC and CMI late tomorrow
morning as the warm front approaches. The bulk of the rain looks
to affect the sites during the morning hours, with a break thru
the mid and late afternoon hours before more showers and storms
affect the area as a cold front approaches the area late tomorrow
evening.

.PREV DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 300 PM CDT Wed Apr 2 2014

Strong system pulling out of the Great Basin will dominate the
weather over the next 36+ hours as it moves across the Plains and
Great Lakes.

SHORT TERM...Tonight through Friday Morning

Developing surface system over southeast Colorado will push east and
then northeast over the next several days. A warm front extends
east from the low across extreme southern Illinois this afternoon.
Thunderstorms near the front have produced some severe weather
across Missouri and periods of heavy rain across southern Illinois
as far north as Effingham today. The weak wave leading the main
trough taking shape over the Rockies that brought this area of
rainfall will move east of the area this evening providing a lull
in rainfall. As the dynamics begin to increase and the surface
low pulls out into the plains late tonight precipitation should
redevelop along and north of the warm front and begin to push the
front northward across the state.

Best push northward of the warm sector will be on Thursday
morning. Storm motion suggests storms will move along the east-
west front. The stronger storms may be able to tap vorticity
along the front to bring a potential for supercells just north of
the warm front by midday into middle afternoon. Tornadoes appear
possible in this area along with large hail and damaging winds.

As the warm sector pushes north, models suggest capping for much
of the late afternoon into early evening. Breaks in clouds could
add to potential instability and locally break through cap
producing some widely scattered storms during the middle and late
afternoon. Any storms that do develop will likely be capable of
severe hail and winds.

The best chances for widespread severe weather will likely occur
with the cold front associated with the surface low expected
Thursday Night. Model suite from 12z are a bit slower with the
frontal passage, but with Low-level jet developing and the
resultant increase in shear, CAPE may not have to be very high to
produce severe weather along and ahead of the front from middle
evening into late Thursday night. Appears that storm mode will
begin as discrete cells over Missouri and Arkansas and eventually
eveolve into a QLCS by morning. The transition should occur as the
convection moves across the Mississippi with the main threat
changing from tornadoes and hail, to hail and wind by the time the
system reaches I-57 well after midnight.

With multiple rain periods, and precip water well over 1.25 inches
through much of the time, expected widespread 2-3 inch storm total rain
amounts.  Will keep current flood watch in effect through 12z Friday.

LONG TERM...Friday through Wednesday

Winds in wake of system will border on wind advisory criteria as
low intensifies across the western Great Lakes on Friday. With the
winds, cold advection, and mostly cloudy skies Friday will likely
seem more like early March than early April.

Temperatures should remain slightly below normal through the weekend.

Next system is expected to impact the forecast area beginning
Sunday Night and into Monday Night. Models are in agreement that
the storm track will be a bit further south as the bulk of the
energy is expected to come in the southern stream flow. At this
time it appears that we should remain on the cool side of this
system which will keep threat of severe weather minimal. However,
there is a potential for another round of heavy rain falling on
the saturated ground from our current rainfall event. This
situation will be watched closely.
