AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

619 PM CDT MON JUN 15 2015

.SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 308 PM CDT MON JUN 15 2015

WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ONCE AGAIN
ACROSS A LARGE PART OF CENTRAL IL THIS AFTERNOON. THE CULPRIT
CONTINUES TO BE A VERY WARM AND MARGINALLY UNSTABLE AIRMASS AROUND
THE PERIPHERY OF AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE IN THE GULF COAST STATES.
SHORTWAVES LIFTING OUT OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND AN ADVANCING COLD
FRONT JUST APPROACHING EXTREME NW IL WERE PROVIDING THE NECESSARY
SUPPORT FOR THIS CONVECTION.

AMPLE AVAILABLE MOISTURE...LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TRANSPORT AND WEAK TO
MODERATE UNIDIRECTIONAL WIND SHEAR WILL RESULT IN AREAS OF HEAVY
RAIN AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. WILL KEEP THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN
PLACE THIS EVENING THROUGH TONIGHT NORTH OF A BEARDSTOWN-LINCOLN-
BLOOMINGTON LINE WHERE SATURATED GROUND AND SWOLLEN CREEKS/DITCHES
WILL NOT TAKE MUCH RAIN TO BEGIN FLOODING AGAIN.

EXPECT THE FRONT TO SLOWLY SAG INTO CENTRAL IL TONIGHT...REACHING A
TAYLORVILLE-DANVILLE LINE AROUND DAYBREAK. THIS SHOULD BRING A BRIEF
BREAK TO THE RAIN NORTHWEST OF THE IL RIVER VALLEY BY EARLY TUESDAY
MORNING...WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS LINGERING
IN THE REST OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN IL.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 308 PM CDT MON JUN 15 2015

THE MAIN THEME OF THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS CONTINUES TO BE WARM AND
UNSEASONABLY HUMID CONDITIONS, ALONG WITH A NEARLY DAILY THREAT OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE AVAILABLE MOISTURE/HUMIDITY WILL
CONTINUE TO POSE A THREAT OF HEAVY RAINFALL WHERE STORMS DEVELOP. IT
REMAINS DIFFICULT TO SEE A PERIOD WITH A CLEAR BREAK IN THE
SHOWER/STORM THREAT UNTIL EARLY NEXT WEEK BEHIND A COLD FRONT
PROGGED TO ARRIVE LATER SUNDAY.

A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL HAVE SETTLED SOMEWHERE OVER THE
SOUTHERN HALF OF ILLINOIS BY EARLY TOMORROW. THIS FRONT, DIURNAL
HEATING, AND WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES SUPPORT A CONTINUED RISK
OF SHOWERS/STORMS, ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE
FORECAST AREA. THEN, AN UPPER-LEVEL WAVE WILL STREAM THROUGH THE
MIDWEST FROM THE PACIFIC ON WEDNESDAY PUSHING THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY
BACK NORTH A BIT, BOOSTING SHOWER/STORMS CHANCES ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA. BEHIND THIS WAVE, IT IS LOOKING LIKE A BREAK IN THE ACTION, IF
ANY, WILL BE BRIEF. A FAIRLY STRONG CONSENSUS OF MODELS BRING
REMNANTS OF THE CURRENT TROPICAL DEPRESSION OVER THE GULF OF MEXICO
NORTHEAST ACROSS THE LOWER MIDWEST AND OHIO VALLEY. THE EXACT
TIMING/TRACK OF THIS DISTURBANCE IS STILL NOT CLEAR, SO LATER
FORECAST ADJUSTMENTS WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED. HOWEVER, HAVE BOOSTED
POPS WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY WITH THIS FEATURE POTENTIALLY IN
THE VICINITY.

THE NEXT BEST WEATHER DISTURBANCE FOR TRIGGERING ORGANIZED RAINFALL
WILL NOT ARRIVE UNTIL SUNDAY. THIS NORTHERN STREAM WAVE SHOULD DRIVE
AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA. HOWEVER, THE LOCAL
AIRMASS WILL STILL REMAIN RATHER MOIST BETWEEN THE TROPICAL REMNANTS
AND SUNDAY'S COLD FRONT, SO AT LEAST ISOLATED CONVECTION REMAINS
POSSIBLE FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY.

A SLIGHTLY COOLER/DRIER AIRMASS SHOULD ARRIVE BEHIND SUNDAY'S COLD
FRONT. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL PROVIDE WELCOME RELIEF FROM THE
PERIODICALLY HEAVY RAINFALL OF THE PREVIOUS SEVERAL AND COMING FEW
DAYS.
