What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood 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 river flood warning went out at Feb 19, 8:56 PM CST, 2 hours 16 minutes earlier.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
856 PM CST Wed Feb 19 2014

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 856 PM CST Wed Feb 19 2014

Showers and thunderstorms are increasing in coverage across
northern Missouri/southern Iowa on the nose of a strengthening
low-level jet. As this jet energy shifts northeastward, rain will
spread into west-central Illinois by around midnight then across
the remainder of the area overnight. Based on trajectory of jet,
greatest rain chances will remain focused across the northern half
of the KILX CWA where categorical POPs are currently in place. 00z
NAM forecast soundings show a pronounced layer of elevated
instability developing as well, supporting the threat for a few
thunderstorms with small hail.

Based on 00z NAM and coordination with surrounding offices, will
be issuing a High Wind Watch for tomorrow evening. Low pressure
deepens from 992mb over eastern Kansas Thursday morning to 984mb
over southwest Wisconsin by evening. Impressive pressure rises in
the wake of the low and passing cold front will lead to very
strong winds, possibly gusting over 50 mph. Zone update will be
issued shortly.

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 548 PM CST Wed Feb 19 2014

Challenging TAF forecast begins later tonight and continues
through 00Z/Fri as a low pressure system develops to our west and
rapidly strengthens, tracking into southern WI Thu evening. A
strong low level jet is forecast to develop across the region
tonight and bring a rapid increase in showers and thunderstorms
after midnight. This process is already underway across northern
MO. Model forecasts show 50kt winds at 1500 ft AGL overnight and
have included LLWS through 12/13Z. Waves of showers and isolated
thunderstorms are expected for much of Thursday morning and into
the afternoon, along with IFR ceilings and visibilities. Some
stronger storms possible during the afternoon ahead of a strong
could front would be capable of brief greatly reduced cig/vsbys
and variable gusty winds but did not include in this set of TAFS
due to timing/location uncertainty. Strong cold front is progged
to move west to east across TAF sites from 21-23Z ending the
shower/storm threat. Strong/gusty south winds ahead of the front
will veer to the southwest behind the front, and increase with gusts
to 35 kts.

.PREV DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 220 PM CST Wed Feb 19 2014

Pleasant weather conditions prevail across central through
southeast Illinois early this afternoon as weak high pressure
drifts across the region. Already seeing an increase in high
level cloudiness in advance of our next potent weather system
pushing into the Rockies. Early afternoon temperatures range
from the mid 30s over the heavier snowpacked areas across our
north and east counties...to around 50 degrees along the I-70
corridor.

SHORT TERM...Tonight through Saturday

Showers and thunderstorms to produce locally heavy rainfall over
the next 24 to 30 hours, especially across the north half of the
forecast area, increasing the threat for flooding along area rivers
and streams. Secondary concern will be the severe threat which SPC
has shifted further south and east with its latest Day 2 outlook.

Model-wise, the NAM-WRF has trended further southeast with the track
of the surface low, as it elongates the wave over Missouri, resulting
in a flatter trajectory, at least initially, before the wave deepens
as the upper system closes off and becomes more negatively tilted
later in the forecast period. Meanwhile...the preferred GFS and
latest ECMWF solutions continue from their previous forecasts in
taking the surface low further west and north, which is supported
by the latest Short Range Ensembles. Impressive 850 mb theta-e
advection for February develops later this evening as the low level
jet increases to our west. This should result in rapid development
of showers and thunderstorms to our southwest, which should track
northeast later this evening into our west in the 03z to 06z time
frame and over the remainder of the area by dawn Thursday. Models
showing Most Unstable Capes of 150-300 j/kg across parts of northeast
Missouri by late tonight so some of the convection will have the
capability of producing hail in addition to some locally heavy
rainfall. Initially, higher POPs will be from west central through
east central Illinois, north of the 850 mb warm front, which by
morning should be north of our area. Precipitable water values by
late Thursday morning soar to 1.20 inches over the southern half of
our forecast area, well above normal for the middle of February.

Heaviest rainfall looks to be along and north of a Rushville to
Springfield to Champaign line where 0.80 to 1.25 inches will fall
by Thursday afternoon. Unfortunately, this where the deeper snowpack
is located, so we will continue to rapidly melt off the snow thru
tomorrow evening with nowhere for the water to go as the ground
remains frozen. Initially, the snowpack may be able to absorb
some of the rain but as we continue to advect higher dew point air
into the region Thursday morning, its going to be a losing battle
with runoff problems in most areas into the evening hours. River
levels along the Illinois, Spoon and Sangamon basins will be most
affected over the next couple of days based on the current QPF
forecasts, with our far southeast rivers seeing the potential for
significant rises for later in the week.  With the current track
of the surface low, temperatures are going to vary widely across
the forecast area with readings warming into the upper 40s far
north to possibly approaching 70 degrees south of Interstate 70.

As far as the severe threat is concerned, the rather large snow
pack centered over the north half of our area will produce a very
pronounced near surface stable layer/weak buoyancy which should
limit the potential for damaging winds at the surface across at
least the north half of the forecast area. As a result, SPC has
adjusted the Day2 slight risk further south, mainly along the I-70
corridor for tomorrow afternoon. Looking back on some of the CIPS
Analog guidance from the past several days, the main area of concern
for more widespread severe weather has been consistently over parts
of southern and southeast Illinois, with this mornings analogs depicting
a more significant area for widespread severe weather just southeast
of I-70 into parts of west central Ky into Tennessee. With the deep
layerd shear profiles depicted on models with this intensifying
surface and upper air system, we can't rule out some low topped
convection further north which may produce some localized 60-65
mph winds, but at this time it appears the more widespread threat
will be over southeast Illinois tomorrow afternoon.

As the surface low intensifies later tomorrow morning and tracks
west of the Illinois River, the cold front is expected to race
across our area during the afternoon. As the low tracks well to
our north late tomorrow afternoon, strong pressure rises will follow
the passage of the cold front tomorrow evening bringing the threat
for at least advisory type wind gusts for at least our north half
thru the evening hours. With the speed of the system, it appears any
precip transition to snow will be to our west and north Thursday night.
Not a great deal of cold air to funnel southeast in the wake of
the system for Friday with afternoon temperatures expected to top
out in the 40s. Models continue to show a weak disturbance tracking
over our area Friday night, but forcing and moisture not impressive
with this system, so other than some low chance POPs across the
north, not expecting much from this feature as it tracks to our
east by Saturday dragging a cold front southeast through the
forecast area.

LONG TERM...Sunday through Wednesday

All medium range models indicate another negative height anomaly sets
up again near James Bay resulting in a return to much colder weather
for the remainder of the month. Canadian high pressure will be edging
southeast into the region during this period bringing a gradual downturn
in temperatures as we head into a new work week. Several weak disturbances
embedded in the northwest flow will bring light snow chances late Sunday
and again late Monday into early Tuesday with below normal temperatures
once again dominating the weather across the Midwest.
