Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
321 PM CST Thu Jan 30 2014

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 310 PM CST Thu Jan 30 2014

Shortwave well to our north and associated frontal boundary has
spread an area of light to moderate snow into parts of west central
Illinois this afternoon. The snow lasts about an hour or so and is
accompanied by the gusty winds out of the southwest with accumulations
generally less than an inch, but with the strong winds, enough to
bring visibilities briefly down to less than a mile in a few spots.
Radar mosaics further west indicate once the snow passes to our
east, not much occurring behind the cold front that is slated to push
through our area this evening.

SHORT TERM...Tonight through Sunday

Snow and freezing rain threatens part of the area starting late
Friday night and continuing through Saturday.

The aforementioned cold front is expected to track east and
southeast through southern Illinois by Friday morning as high
pressure drifts to our north. Models in general agreement in
depicting a prolonged period of weak isent ascent starting later
tomorrow morning and continuing into Friday afternoon with periods
of light snow a good bet, especially across the north. At this time
it appears up to an inch will be possible north of I-72 during the
day but the stronger dynamics/forcing associated with a southern
stream wave, which is forecast to interact with the stationary
frontal just south of I70 Friday night into Saturday, will induce
a surface wave along the front. Models have trended further north
and west with the surface feature, and as a result, have warmed the
low levels of the atmosphere significantly enough to be concerned
about a period of freezing rain starting late Friday night and
shifting north during the morning hours of Saturday. Have included
a threat for freezing rain in the far southeast late Friday night
into Saturday but the threat appears to be brief with such strong
warm advection depicted on most of the 12z model runs.

With the warmer profiles depicted on the forecast soundings, the
more significant snow band associated with this system has shifted
further north and west as well. Preliminary indications suggest
a band of 5 to 7 inches with local higher amounts possible along
and north of a Canton to Peoria to Minonk line. Further south,
2 to 5 inches will be possible late Friday into early Saturday
before a transition to freezing rain Saturday morning. Potential
exists for up to at least two tenths of an inch of freezing rain
just south of the heavy snow band from just northeast of Springfield
northeast to near Bloomington. As a result of the snow and ice
potential Friday night into Saturday, will be issuing a Winter Storm
Watch starting Friday evening and running through the day on Saturday.

Other than some lingering light snow, models suggest the bulk of
the stronger lift with the shortwave will shift off to our east by
Saturday evening. Accumulations of less than an inch will be possible
along and east of a Shelbyville to Champaign line. High pressure
will then settle into our area for Sunday and Monday bringing cold
weather back into our area, although no where near as cold as earlier
this week. If we do receive some significant snowfall across the
north, we will colder temperatures that what we are currently
advertising Sunday and Monday nights.

LONG TERM...Monday through Thursday

Major storm system still slated to affect parts of the Midwest
starting Tuesday and winding down on Wednesday morning. The
high pressure system that affected our area early in the week will
drift off to our east late Monday with return flow setting up to
our west Monday night ahead of the southwest low. Will continue
to hold on to chance pops late Monday night across the west but
the bulk of the snow will fall during the day Tuesday into Tuesday
night with significant amounts possible over parts of the forecast
area. Based on the latest GFS and ECMWF, not a great deal of
difference with respect to the track but for now, will take a more
conservative view with respect to where the heavy snow band sets
up with this system until we see a more consistent trend with the
medium range models.

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 1149 AM CST Thu Jan 30 2014
Winds the main concern in the short term as southerly winds pick
up to near 25-30 kts and gusts in excess of 35 kts. Mid and high
clouds dominate in advance of cold front. Light snow or rain
showers still possible in nrn tier of CWA through the
afternoon as stronger radar echos edge into Central Illinois.
Keeping the -SN mention for now...will watch for temps to climb
and adjust to -ra if possible. Cloud heights will change briefly
with passing precip should any actually hit a TAF site. Beyond the
precip drop in cigs...most sites fall into MVFR cat after sunset
and before midnight as front moves through region and brings winds
around to N/NW by dawn. GFS a little more BKN in the overnight
hours with the llvl clouds, but will err on the cloudy side after
sunset.
