Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
1249 PM CDT Mon Jul 14 2014

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 1022 AM CDT Mon Jul 14 2014

Secondary cold front just about to come into the northwestern CWA
at 10 am. Dew point at Galesburg is 68 degrees while mid-50s were
noted in the Quad Cities. Starting to get some convective
development just ahead of the front from Macomb to near Peoria, in
an area where surface based CAPE's are already over 2500 J/kg per
SPC mesoanalysis. Additional development also occurring over
Champaign. Shear parameters ahead are respectable, with 0-6km bulk
shear around 40 knots in an area that has been getting a decent
amount of sunshine the last couple hours. The scattered
showers/storms currently in the forecast looked good and only
required some minor timing adjustments.

Temperature-wise, temps were running a few degrees ahead of the
curve this morning due to the sunshine across the central third of
the CWA, but overall highs only required a degree or two
adjustment. Convection and the incoming front will be resulting in
falling temperatures in many areas this afternoon except perhaps
the far southeast CWA, which should mainly be ahead of the front
throughout the day.

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 1249 PM CDT Mon Jul 14 2014

Cold front and associated risk of showers and storms is currently
making its way through central Illinois. The line of storms along
the front is rapidly moving and will exit the terminal area within
the next couple of hours. However, a much more isolated risk will
persist until sunset. Have, gone with a 1-2 hour tempo group to cover
line of storms, with a VCSH or no mention beyond that. VFR conditions
should prevail through much of the 18z TAF valid time (away from
thunderstorms), although MVFR CIGs are likely to develop Tuesday
morning as diurnal heating resumes.

.PREV DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 258 AM CDT Mon Jul 14 2014

SHORT TERM...Today through Wednesday

Cold front has settled southward into the Ohio River Valley early
this morning, with convection ongoing across the far southern KILX
CWA. Based on satellite/radar trends as well as latest HRRR,
precipitation should exit into Indiana prior to 12z. As a result,
will go with a dry forecast across the southeast during the
morning hours. Further north, a second cold front currently
extending from southern Michigan into Iowa will sag southward this
morning. One small cluster of showers/thunder has already
developed along the front across Nebraska and additional
convection is expected to form further east later this morning as
colder air arriving aloft creates steep lapse rates along/ahead of
the boundary. Have opted to carry scattered showers/thunder across
the central and northern zones throughout the day and across the
southeast during the afternoon. Will still be a fairly warm day,
with highs ranging from the upper 70s far north to the middle 80s
south of I-70.

Secondary cold front will settle south of the area this evening,
with a few lingering showers possible across the far southeast
through midnight. After that, a much cooler/drier air mass will
filter into the region overnight. Current dew points behind this
front across the Dakotas and Minnesota are only in the 40s and
some of this air mass will arrive in central Illinois later
tonight. Have generally gone at or slightly below guidance
numbers, with lows ranging from around 50 degrees in Galesburg to
the upper 50s far southeast. Coolest day of the forecast period is
coming up on Tuesday as unseasonably deep upper low drops into the
Great Lakes. 850mb temps in the 6 to 8C range will support very
cool temps only in the lower to middle 70s. These readings will be
close to record low maximum temperatures in many locations. For
more details, please see the climatology section of this
discussion below. With surface high pressure in control of the
weather, another very chilly night will be on tap Tuesday night
with lows once again bottoming out in the lower to middle 50s.
Only slight air mass modification is expected on Wednesday,
resulting in highs a couple of degrees warmer than Tuesday in the
middle 70s.

LONG TERM...Thursday through Sunday

Quiet weather is expected through the extended, although the 00z
GFS is trying to put a fly in the ointment. As has been advertised
for several days, an upper-level wave currently spinning along the
Washington/Oregon coast is expected to cross the northern Rockies,
then dive southeastward along the western periphery of the Great
Lakes trough, then track eastward into the Tennessee River Valley
by late Thursday into Friday. All models have been in agreement
that any precip associated with this feature would stay well south
of the KILX CWA. Latest GFS is now bringing precip much further
north into parts of central Illinois Thursday night and Friday.
ECMWF/GEM remain dry and consistent with their previous solutions.
Since GFS is an outlier and rain pushing into a surface ridge axis
seems unlikely, have ignored the GFS in favor of the ECMWF/GEM
consensus. As a result, have continued with a dry forecast with
slowly moderating temps through the end of the week. After that,
model solutions vary as to timing of next northern stream wave and
associated frontal boundary. At this point, will only introduce
slight chance PoPs for Sunday until better model agreement is
achieved.
