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 Sep 10, 2:54 PM CDT, 1 hour 47 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 10, 2:54 PM CDT, 1 hour 47 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
254 PM CDT Wed Sep 10 2014

.SHORT TERM...(Tonight)
ISSUED AT 253 PM CDT WED SEP 10 2014

Will maintain Flash Flood Watch for areas se of Peoria through 7 pm
early this evening and over east central IL through 1 am tonight. A
band of showers and isolated thunderstorms with very heavy downpours
as just se of the IL river and will strengthen/expand as it track
east across the remainder of central IL into early evening and
across southeast IL during this evening. SPC has slight chance of
severe thunderstorms along and se of I-55 with 15% risk of damaging
wind gusts into mid evening along with 2-5% risk of tornadoes.
Precipitable water values of 2 to 2.25 inches and tropical dewpoints
in the low to mid 70s also supports high rainfall rates of greater
than 1 inch per hour.

Strong low pressure of 996 mb near southern Door County in NE WI
will lift ne and deepen to 994 mb over northern lower MI by early
this evening and will pull a cold front from nw IL and central MO se
to the Wabash river by midnight tonight. Showers and thunderstorms
expected to expand in coverage ahead of this cold front last this
afternoon and evening se of the IL river. Lows tonight to range from
around 50F nw of the IL river to the lower 60s se of I-70. A fair
amount of low clouds will stick around through the night behind the
cold front.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Wednesday)
ISSUED AT 253 PM CDT WED SEP 10 2014

Low pressure during the afternoon had reached central Lake Mi with
the cold front trailing south southwest over central IL, to east of
Quincy and then into central MO. Morning upper air depicted
significant moisture axis pushing northeast ahead of the front,
providing fuel over the heavy rain during the morning hours. In the
afternoon, the amount of moisture remained signficant, with SPC
mesoscale data showing PWs over 2 inches. However amount of
cloudiness has limited the heating, keeping MUCAPE values just below
2000. Good convergence on the front has been enough to fire recent
thunderstorm activity on and ahead of front. As the front moves
east, potential for brief strong storms with heavy rain and maybe
brief gusty winds from the strongest updrafts through the early
evening. Maybe some isolated severe produced and brief heavy rain
with strongest storms still possible.

Expect the front to continue to move southeast per progs, reaching
the OH river valley by Thursday morning. High pressure to build into
area Thursday, drying airmass out, but with conditions being cooler.

A minor upper wave will move through in the afternoon Friday and
Friday night, bringing a minor chance of showers. Rainfall will be
light.

For the weekend, a cool high pressure will be in control. However
another weak upper level trough is forecast to move southeast from
Canada, bringing clouds and a slight chance of showers on Monday to
the region. Then additional cool air will flow into the area for
midweek.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon)
ISSUED AT 1255 PM CDT WED SEP 10 2014

Continued chances of showers and thunderstorms across central IL
airports this afternoon and lingering into 1st half of evening at
DEC and CMI. Strong 997 mb low pressure near Appleton in
east central WI has strong cold front extending sw to near the
IL/IA border and across nw MO. Showers and a few thunderstorms
along and se of the IL river at midday will gradually push se
along and ahead of cold front during the afternoon and early
evening. MVFR ceilings and vsbys likely to continue this afternoon
and even IFR at times of heavier showers. PIA recently has vsbys
down to 1/4-1/2 mile with TS and heavy rain shower. Ceilings as
low as 500-900 ft at PIA and BMI so far today and carried these
low ceilings for a few more hours into mid afternoon. Have breezy
sw winds 14-19 kts with gusts 22-30 kts ahead of cold front this
afternoon and then turn nw 12-17 kts and gusts around 20 kts behind
cold front initially as it passes through from 21Z-01Z from nw to
se. Winds then veer more north and weaken to 7-12 kts overnight
and continue Thu morning. Kept MVFR ceilings around tonight into
Thu morning as satellite shows extensive low clouds upstream and
models show low level moisture lingering into Thu morning.
