Area forecast discussion, Sep 10, 6:58 PM CDT, 1 hour 18 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL 658 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 00Z TAFS through 00Z Thursday evening) ISSUED AT 659 PM CDT WED SEP 10 2014 A few showers to affect DEC and CMI airports next hour or so with vsbys 4-6 miles if rain showers occur. Strong cold front has recently passed se of the central IL airports including CMI and DEC so chances of thunderstorms should stay to the se as cold front moves to the Wabash river by midnight. Ceiling recently down to 800 ft at CMI should lift up to MVFR or even VFR early this evening. MVFR ceilings over IA and nw IL to spread back se across central IL later this evening and overnight. These MVFR ceilings to linger over central IL Thu morning before lifting to VFR Thu afternoon. WNW winds 8-14 kts with gusts of 15-22 kts to turn NNW later this evening and overnight and diminish to 7-12 kts. North to NNE winds near 10 kts expected Thu as 1036 mb Canadian high pressure over Alberta settles into the upper Midwest during Thu afternoon while frontal boundary pushes further south across TN valley. && .ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
