Area Forecast Discussion
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
538 AM CDT Wed Sep 10 2014

.SHORT TERM...(Today)
ISSUED AT 256 AM CDT WED SEP 10 2014

Heavy rainfall event is commencing across west-central Illinois
early this morning, with 07z/2am radar imagery showing rain across
the western half of the KILX CWA.  Further west, very heavy rain and
flash flooding is occurring across northern Missouri, where several
convective systems have trained over the same locations.  Latest IR
satellite imagery shows first system dissipating west of Quincy,
while another flare up of convection is developing further west
along the Iowa/Missouri border.  This activity is being fed by a
60-65kt 850mb jet streak as seen on the KEAX VWP and is tracking
E/SE along a stationary frontal boundary extending from southern
Iowa into eastern Missouri.  As low pressure currently over
southwest Iowa deepens and lifts into Wisconsin later this morning,
this heavier precip area will gradually shift into west-central
Illinois.  With precipitable water values exceeding 2 inches, high
rainfall rates of greater than 1 inch per hour will be possible.
Several locations along/west of I-55 already picked up between 1 and
3 inches of rain yesterday, so any additional rainfall could
potentially lead to flash flooding.  As a result, current Flash
Flood Watch for much of central Illinois along and north of a
Shelbyville to Paris line will remain in effect today.

Severe weather threat remains uncertain, as widespread showers and
thunderstorms this morning will stabilize a good portion of the
area.  Best bet for adequate destabilization this afternoon will be
along southern/eastern periphery of rain area.  Based on current
radar trends and 00z model output, think this will mainly be focused
across the S/SE CWA.  Latest convective outlook from SPC is trending
in that direction as well, with the slight risk area being shifted
further southeast than previously forecast.  South of the precip
area where afternoon high temperatures will reach the lower to
middle 80s, CAPE values will likely reach the 1500 to 2000J/kg range
across southern Illinois into central/southern Indiana.  Outflow
boundary from morning convection interacting with this unstable
airmass and strong low-level wind shear will likely produce a line
of strong to severe thunderstorms somewhere along/south of a
Shelbyville to Paris line by mid to late afternoon.  Main severe
threat will be damaging wind gusts as the storms sink southeastward
into the evening hours.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Tonight through Tuesday)
ISSUED AT 256 AM CDT WED SEP 10 2014

Low pressure will continue to track northeastward into the Great
Lakes tonight, dragging a strong cold front through central
Illinois.  Boundary is progged to be along a Chicago to Saint Louis
line early this evening, then along the Ohio River by Thursday
morning.  Based on this timing, will carry categorical PoPs across
the E/SE CWA this evening, tapering down to just chance after
midnight.  Further northwest, will mention chance of showers this
evening, followed by dry weather after midnight. Once front
passes, much cooler conditions will be noted on Thursday. Despite
a good deal of sunshine, strong CAA pushing 850mb temps to between
10 and 14c will result in highs only reaching the middle to upper
60s.

Even cooler weather will be on tap for Friday, as 850mb temps drop
further and clouds increase in advance of a lingering 500mb
trough axis. Models continue to show this feature passing Friday
night, accompanied by scattered showers. Latest ECMWF is quite
bullish with its QPF Friday night, while the GFS is much drier.
Think the precip will be mainly diurnal in nature, so am not ready
to raise PoPs significantly for Friday night. Will bring low
chance PoPs across the western half of the CWA Friday afternoon,
then will only go with slight chance PoPs Friday night as daytime
instability fades.

Once this feature passes, strong Canadian high pressure will
dominate the weather this weekend.  Resulting high temperatures on
Saturday and Sunday will only be in the 60s, while overnight lows
dip into the 40s.  Next northern stream short-wave will swing
through the region early next week, although timing discrepancies
exist among the models.  GFS is slightly faster with the feature,
bringing it across central Illinois on Monday, while the ECMWF
delays in until Monday night.  Due to timing differences and very
limited moisture supply, have opted to keep the forecast dry through
Tuesday at this time.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Thursday morning)
ISSUED AT 535 AM CDT WED SEP 10 2014

Widespread rain and isolated storms producing MVFR and local IFR
cigs early this morning, mainly across the west and northwest.
We should see a temporary break in the showers and storms after
16z, with redevelopment along a strong cold front this afternoon
roughly along and east of the I-55 corridor from 19z-23z.
Confidence on if and when we see cigs improve to VFR across the
west and north not very high at this time as soundings showing
MVFR cigs at times into this afternoon. Low level wind shear
will continue to around 13z with winds expected to mix down
some with rather gusty south winds up to 30 kts at times this
morning, and as the cold front approaches we will see the winds
veer more into the southwest by late morning west, and finally
into the northwest and north after FROPA this afternoon and
evening. Wind speeds late this afternoon and evening after
frontal passage will be from 10 to 15 kts.
