Area Forecast Discussion
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
300 PM CDT Fri Sep 5 2014

.SHORT TERM...(Tonight)
ISSUED AT 259 PM CDT FRI SEP 5 2014

Cold front moving into the Illinois River Valley this afternoon with
plenty of warm and moist air ahead of it.  CAPEs ahead of the
boundary are in excess of 4000 J/kg, but shear is minimal and the cu
field has not yet responded to a lot of the heat of the day.  Most
of the activity associated with the boundary is actually well behind
it, co-located with the best shear, but little in the way of CAPE.
The activity that initiated along boundary just to the north is
actually far more diurnally supported as it races out ahead of it.
Convection will have plenty of PW to work with in the column should
any storms develop, resulting in high precip and a threat for some
precip loading/small microbursts and associated damaging winds.  So
far, remaining in the Slight Risk, but just outside a watch.
Updating the pops to increase invof the boundary through sunset,
then spreading out a bit more after sundown as the boundary moves
through the region overnight.  Temperatures starting to drop at GBG,
so the temp curve tonight will vary a bit from diurnal and the lows
will vary somewhat nw of the Illinois River Valley should any clear
pockets develop.  But llvl moisture hanging around quite a bit with
the precip behind the front should prevent too much of a drop.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Friday)
ISSUED AT 259 PM CDT FRI SEP 5 2014

The cold front will be clear of the forecast area by Saturday
morning. This should take most of the precipitation risk with it.
However, have maintained some morning showers south of I-70, as much
of the precipitation with this front will be on the cool side of the
front with the better upper forcing. Aside from the slight morning
risk of rainfall in our southeast counties, the balance of the
weekend into early next week will offer quiet and cooler than normal
weather as Canadian high pressure builds into the area.

From Tuesday through the end of the period the relatively zonal flow
across the lower 48 will trend increasingly cyclonic as troffing
develops. Model agreement of the disturbances in this developing
trof is not that great as far as specifics. However, there is
general agreement that Tuesday-Thursday will feature periodic
showers/storms and remain cooler than normal. It also appears that a
much cooler area of high pressure will help dry things out by
Friday, with high temperatures by then possibly not making it out of
the 60s for at least a day or two.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday afternoon)
ISSUED AT 1250 PM CDT FRI SEP 5 2014
Only some small timing adjustments to the timing of the frontal
boundary this afternoon as the cold front develops some showers
and thunderstorms along the boundary. Some minor adjustments will
likely be necessary as the front is slow to develop showers,
though there is more than enough moisture in the boundary layer.
Chance that the storms will initialize somewhere between the
Illinois River Valley and a line btwn BMI and SPI... so PIA may
end up behind the best chances for TS. That being said, showers
well to the west still getting enough convection to have some
thunder, so it will remain a VCTS mention for now. Time Heights
keeping llvl moisture in place through the overnight and not
clearing quickly, so low cigs...dropping to MVFR in the north for
now...but may need to expand that to the southern terminals should
enough rainfall accumulate.
