$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Lincoln, IL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Dec 23, 5:51 AM CST, 3 hours 40 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 23, 5:51 AM CST, 3 hours 40 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Lincoln IL 551 AM CST WED DEC 23 2015 .SHORT TERM...(Today) ISSUED AT 330 AM CST WED DEC 23 2015 09z/3am surface analysis shows a 986mb low over south-central Kansas with a warm front extending eastward across Missouri into southern Illinois. Southerly flow to the south of the front has resulted in temperatures steadily rising into the lower 60s across Kentucky and far southern Illinois...and well into the 50s further north across the KILX CWA. Due to low-level warm/moist advection, widespread fog has developed along/east of a Bloomington to Taylorville line. Do not think dense fog will be an issue however, as surface winds have been strong enough to provide enough mixing of the atmosphere to keep vsbys around 1 mile at the lowest. HRRR shows the fog persisting through early morning before gradually dissipating and pushing further north. Current water vapor imagery shows vigorous short-wave trough tracking across the Oklahoma/Texas panhandles, and this feature is already triggering widespread convection across eastern Oklahoma into Arkansas. 4km WRF-NMM has a very good handle on the convection and shows it tracking northeastward into central Illinois after 13/14z. Based on this forecast and current radar trends, have gone with categorical PoPs for showers/thunder this morning. This initial surge of convection will lift into northern Illinois toward midday, resulting in a lull in the precip across the KILX CWA by early afternoon. May even see a few breaks in the overcast as per the HRRR cloud height forecast. Big question then becomes how much convection will develop along an advancing cold front late this afternoon into the evening. Several models suggest much of central Illinois may only see scattered thunderstorms, with the more concentrated area of convection further south from the I-70 corridor southward into the Tennessee River Valley. Given robust instability characterized by SBCAPEs of 500-1000J/kg and strong 0-6km bulk shear of 70-80kt, have continued with categorical PoPs along/ahead of the front this afternoon. Have also mentioned severe, as latest Day 1 outlook from SPC now places the entire area under a Slight Risk. Aside from the storm chances, this will be a windy and extremely warm day. Southerly winds will gust to between 35 and 40 mph, helping push temperatures to near record levels in the middle to upper 60s. In fact, if a few breaks do indeed develop in the overcast, would not be surprised to see temps rise into the lower 70s in a few spots. .LONG TERM...(Tonight through Tuesday) ISSUED AT 330 AM CST WED DEC 23 2015 As deep low pressure tracks from eastern Iowa this evening to Lake Superior by midnight, impressive pressure rises will create very strong southwesterly winds across the area this evening behind the departing cold front. A Wind Advisory may need to be issued for areas north of the I-70 corridor, as gusts could exceed 40 mph. Will hold off on the advisory for now, waiting until the strong to potentially severe convection clears the area later today. Showers/storms will quickly exit into Indiana by midnight, with dry weather expected overnight. A lull in the action is still anticipated for Thursday into Friday, with slightly cooler high temperatures in the 40s and 50s. After that, a wet/unsettled weekend is on tap. 00z Dec 23 models are in relatively good agreement concerning the heavy rain set-up initially, with both the GFS and ECMWF showing widespread showers and even a few thunderstorms for Saturday/Saturday night. Latest GFS is beginning to look more like previous runs of the ECMWF, which shows a northern stream short-wave pushing the main baroclinic zone southward into the Ohio River Valley on Sunday. In fact, the latest ECMWF now shows the front south of the Ohio River and features dry weather across central Illinois Sunday afternoon and night. Am not ready to go quite that far yet, although the southward trend is definitely there. Have therefore lowered PoPs substantially across the northern half of the CWA Sunday/Sunday night and have pushed thunder mention further south out of the area. Closed upper low over the Desert Southwest will eventually eject northeastward, bringing higher PoPs back by Monday/Monday night. Rain chances will then finally decrease by Tuesday as the low lifts into the Great Lakes. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Thursday morning) ISSUED AT 545 AM CST WED DEC 23 2015 IFR or lower conditions will start at all TAF sites as low stratus blankets the area at start of TAF period. Cigs are forecast to remain IFR through the morning and into the afternoon at all sites. Except for BMI all TAF sites have MVFR vis or better. BMI still has 1/4sm FG, but thinking is this will gradually improve this morning. The first batch of showers and isolated thunderstorms will begin to move through, effecting the TAF sites starting at 14z at PIA and SPI, and then 15z at DEC/BMI/CMI. These conditions will continue through the late morning. Then by afternoon, the second wave of pcpn will begin to move toward the area and effect the TAFs. Unsure on timing, but going with 19z at SPI and PIA, and then 20z at DEC/CMI/BMI. Will also have VCTS since also unsure if pcpn will actually effect on station. Once this moves through late afternoon to early evening, conditions will improve at all sites, and then become clear after midnight. Southeast winds will become southerly and begin to gust to near 30kts. Southerly winds will increase during the morning and into the afternoon hours with gusts to around 35kts or little higher at BMI and CMI. When the winds become more southwesterly after the second wave of pcpn, wind speeds will become higher with all sites gusting to between 37 and 38kts. Winds will decrease overnight and become more westerly. && .CLIMATE...
