.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1010 AM CDT THU JUL 9 2015

NORTHERN EDGE OF THE CLOUD SHIELD STARTING TO ERODE A BIT... WITH
MORE SUBSTANTIAL CLEARING ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI. STILL SEEING
SOME PATCHY DRIZZLE FROM ABOUT PEORIA-LINCOLN EASTWARD IN THE
LOWER CLOUDS...BUT THE HEIGHT OF THE STRATUS IS SLOWLY LIFTING AND
THIS SHOULD ONLY BE A CONCERN FOR ANOTHER HOUR OR TWO. HRRR TRYING
TO SHOW THE CLOUDS CONTRACTING FROM ALL SIDES...WHICH WOULD
POTENTIALLY ALLOW THE HIGHS TO REACH THE MID 70S. HAVE ADJUSTED
TEMPERATURES DOWNWARD A BIT AND CONCENTRATED THE LOWER READINGS
ALONG THE I-72 CORRIDOR...WITH WARMER HIGHS IN THE NORTHWEST AND
SOUTHWEST REACHES OF THE FORECAST AREA.

ISSUED AT 329 AM CDT THU JUL 9 2015

08Z/3AM SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS 1010MB LOW JUST NORTH OF KDNV...WITH
COLD FRONT EXTENDING SOUTHWESTWARD INTO THE OZARKS.  AS THE LOW
PULLS FURTHER AWAY...FRONT WILL SETTLE TO NEAR OR JUST SOUTH OF THE
OHIO RIVER LATER TODAY.  AS A RESULT...AFTER PERHAPS A FEW LINGERING
SHOWERS NEAR THE INDIANA BORDER EARLY THIS MORNING...TODAY WILL BE A
MOSTLY DRY DAY ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST ILLINOIS.  DESPITE THE
DRYING TREND...FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW PLENTY OF LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE
REMAINING...SO PROSPECTS FOR CLEARING ARE BLEAK.  DUE TO EXTENSIVE
CLOUD COVER...HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO BE WELL BELOW
NORMAL FOR EARLY JULY...WITH READINGS ONLY REACHING THE LOWER TO
MIDDLE 70S.

.LONG TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 329 AM CDT THU JUL 9 2015

WITH FRONT GETTING PUSHED A BIT FURTHER SOUTH THAN PREVIOUSLY
FORECAST...NOCTURNAL CONVECTION DEVELOPING ALONG THE BOUNDARY ON THE
NOSE OF A LOW-LEVEL JET HAS BEEN DISPLACED SOUTHWARD AS WELL
TONIGHT.  BOTH GFS AND NAM NOW SHOW THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX FORMING
OVER CENTRAL MISSOURI AFTER MIDNIGHT...THEN SHIFTING E/SE ACROSS
MAINLY THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE KILX CWA LATE TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY
MORNING.  HAVE ADJUSTED POPS ACCORDINGLY TO FEATURE ONLY LOW CHANCE
FOR SHOWERS ALONG/SOUTHWEST OF A RUSHVILLE...TO SPRINGFIELD...TO
MATTOON LINE TOWARD DAWN FRIDAY.  AS IT STANDS NOW...IT APPEARS
HEAVIEST RAIN WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL REMAIN JUST SOUTH OF CENTRAL
ILLINOIS...HOWEVER IF 12Z MODELS SHIFT IT FURTHER NORTHWARD A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH MAY BE NEEDED FOR THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE AREA.  AFTER
MORNING STORM COMPLEX TRACKS INTO THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY...FRONTAL
BOUNDARY WILL LIKELY REMAIN SUPPRESSED WELL TO THE SOUTH FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE DAY.  DUE TO THE MORE SOUTHERN LOCATION OF THE
BAROCLINIC ZONE...HAVE TRIMMED POPS TO JUST SLIGHT CHANCE ALONG THE
I-74 CORRIDOR ON FRIDAY.

UPPER RIDGE WILL GRADUALLY BUILD INTO THE REGION OVER THE UPCOMING
WEEKEND...HOWEVER 00Z JULY 9 GFS/ECMWF ARE BOTH WEAKER WITH THE
RIDGE.  THIS MEANS THE ONCE DRY FORECAST WILL NOW BE REPLACED BY A
MORE UNSETTLED SCENARIO WHERE NOCTURNAL CONVECTION RIDING ALONG THE
PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE MAY IMPACT PARTS OF CENTRAL ILLINOIS.  THE
MOST SIGNIFICANT MCS LOOKS TO DEVELOP SATURDAY EVENING OVER
IOWA...THEN TRACK E/SE ACROSS NORTH-CENTRAL ILLINOIS SATURDAY NIGHT
INTO EARLY SUNDAY MORNING.  WILL THEREFORE CARRY LIKELY POPS NORTH
OF THE PEORIA AREA AT THAT TIME...TAPERING DOWN TO DRY CONDITIONS
SOUTH OF I-70.  AFTER THAT...RIDGE SHIFTS WESTWARD AND TROUGH DIGS
OVER THE GREAT LAKES/MIDWEST...HOWEVER IT MAY NOT BE AS DEEP AS ONCE
THOUGHT.  END RESULT WILL BE A PERIOD OF VERY WARM/HUMID WEATHER
WITH DAILY CHANCES FOR SHOWERS/THUNDER INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
