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 24, 8:48 PM CST, 1 hour 39 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 24, 8:48 PM CST, 1 hour 39 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
848 PM CST THU DEC 24 2015

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 842 PM CST THU DEC 24 2015

Shortwave trof across northeast Iowa this evening will track
northeast away from our area overnight. Some spotty light rain
was associated with the upper wave today and that has ended over
the forecast area. The front that pushed through our area last
evening was not that far away, roughly from central Tennessee
through eastern Kentucky. That boundary may become active again
later tonight into Friday morning with a band of showers expected
to push northeast along the front, well south of our area. A few
light showers/sprinkles may develop north of the main band of
showers in southeast Illinois later this evening, but forecast
soundings not supportive of much else.

The Iowa shortwave has a weak surface boundary associated with it
that is forecast to push across our area late tonight, but little
if any weather is expected with that, other than a wind shift.
Weak high pressure will then move across the area on Christmas
Day with another unseasonbly mild day in store for central Illinois
with highs ranging from the mid 40s northwest to the mid 50s
southeast. Current grids handling the evening trends well, so no
ZFP update will be necessary at this time.

.SHORT TERM...(Tonight)
ISSUED AT 337 PM CST THU DEC 24 2015

Area of very light showers has moved out of Missouri early this
afternoon along an 850 mb thermal axis. Ceilings below it have only
dropped to around 5,000 feet as the air below the axis remains
rather dry, so little in the way of accumulation is expected.
Temperatures south of I-70 have reached into the 50s as the thicker
cloud cover only recently moved in, but most of central Illinois is
in the low-mid 40s, still mild for Christmas Eve.

Very weak ripples in the upper flow are helping to form these light
showers, and several of the higher resolution models are suggesting
potential for similar light showers a bit further south this
evening, thus have introduced slight chance PoP's along the I-70
corridor. Overnight, the stationary frontal zone over the Tennessee
Valley will begin to push northward as the broad upper trough over
the Rockies begins to sharpen. Precipitation in the baroclinic zone
will push northward past the Ohio River late in the night, but
currently think that our southeast CWA will remain dry, as there
will be a decent northeast flow associated with high pressure
drifting northeast toward the Wisconsin/Illinois border. Little
change was made to the forecast low temperatures, ranging from the
lower 30s northwest of Peoria to the 40-45 degree range along and
south of I-70.

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Thursday)
ISSUED AT 337 PM CST THU DEC 24 2015

High pressure will drift across the Great Lakes region Friday
keeping a frontal boundary pushed just southeast of the central IL
forecast area over the Ohio River Valley...keeping conditions dry
over much of central IL with just a slight chance of rain in
southeast IL.

Increasing southwesterly flow will develop Saturday pushing this
frontal boundary northward back into central IL. Instability looks
to be sufficient for thunderstorms into much of central IL
Saturday...especially in the southeast and have continued this
scenario in the afternoon forecast package. As copious Gulf moisture
interacts with the boundary Saturday and Saturday night...steady
moderate to heavy rainfall continue to look on track for Saturday
afternoon and Saturday night. The axis of heaviest rainfall
currently looks to be along the I-70 corridor at this time. A
northern stream shortwave continues on track to push the boundary
back southward on Sunday into Sunday night...diminishing rainfall
chances especially north of I-72. By this point...rainfall amounts
to around 3 inches are possible around the I-70 corridor...while
amounts taper down to around a half inch from around Peoria
northwestward. Some cold air pushing southward Sunday night
following the northern shortwave could produce a changeover to
frozen precipitation Sunday night.

Next challenge will timing the eventual ejection of the Desert
Southwest upper low and the northward return of the rainfall. Models
are in fair agreement on timing of the system ejecting across the
central IL area Monday night...although depth of the low and cold
air ingested into the system and exact track make precipitation type
highly uncertain across the central IL area. Enough instability will
be present to mention a chance for a few thunderstorms across the
E/SE CWA.  Have incorporated snow/mix of rain snow as a blend of
model possibilities for now. Once the low lifts into the Great
Lakes, precip will come to an end on Tuesday or Tuesday night.

Yet another system indicated midweek...however this does not look to
be associated with significant precipitation at this time.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening)
ISSUED AT 520 PM CST THU DEC 24 2015

VFR conditions are expected thru most of this forecast period.
Will have to keep an eye out for the possibility for some MVFR
vsbys in fog and some patchy lower clouds edging in from the
west after 06z tonight. For now, will keep vsbys at 6 miles
or greater hold off any mention of low MVFR cigs at PIA or
SPI. A weak frontal boundary is forecast to push across the
area later this evening with winds ahead of the front veering
into a southerly direction and then shifting into the northwest
at 5 to 10 kts in the 08z-12z time frame. Winds will then shift
into the northeast at 8 to 15 kts on Friday.
