Area forecast discussion, Apr 28, 3:17 PM CDT, 23 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lincoln IL 317 PM CDT Mon Apr 28 2014 .DISCUSSION... ISSUED 317 PM CDT Mon Apr 28 2014 Main concerns will be storms developing over the area and moving in from the west this afternoon and early tonight. Then the concern will shift and become the continue chances of diurnal precip for the rest of the week as the upper level low slowly drifts easward into the Great Lakes region later this week. Models look ok with the overall pattern and sfc features through the period. Only differences seen will be in the mesoscale features for rest of the afternoon and into tonight. SHORT TERM...Tonight through Thursday Tornado watch continues til 7pm as storms have fired on the dry line in MO early this afternoon. These storms will be moving northeast and northerly during the period over the western parts of the area. Hail appears to be the main threat right now, but isolated tornadoes will also be possible if the storms begin to rotate. The storms are low-topped and will remain that way. Thunderstorms will be possible again tomorrow as the upper level low will still be northwest of the area, though closer than today. Severe weather is not expected tomorrow as the best moisture will have moved east of the area. Skies will also be cloudy south of the low system, so instability will be quite low. Then diurnal showers will be possible remainder of the period as the the forecast area remains in cyclonic flow through the week. This flow will also have temps much cooler through the period. LONG TERM...Thursday night through Monday Cyclonic flow continues through the rest of the week and into the weekend. Then by end of the weekend, the system will push out of the area. We will finally have some dry periods as high pressure builds in for a brief period. Then another system is expected to move into the area for Sunday. Temps will remain on the cool side through the period. Auten && .AVIATION... ISSUED 1255 PM CDT Mon Apr 28 2014 A warm front near I-74 will lift ne during this afternoon as strong 989 mb low pressure over east central Nebraska moves to the NE/IA/MO border this evening.
