GeelhartWhat 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 26, 5:05 PM CST, 3 hours 13 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 26, 5:05 PM CST, 3 hours 13 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Lincoln IL 505 PM CST SAT DEC 26 2015 .SHORT TERM...(Tonight) ISSUED AT 350 PM CST SAT DEC 26 2015 Steady stream of rain and embedded thunderstorms continues to track northeast out of Missouri this afternoon. Areas northwest of the Illinois River have remained on the periphery of the rain through the day and little has accumulated up there, but a more substantial northward push is expected this evening as the frontal boundary starts to pivot a bit. Latest water vapor imagery shows a deep upper low over southeast Arizona with a steady plume of moisture coming up from Texas into the Midwest. Precipitable water values remain in record territory for late December, around 1.4 inches through tonight, although some decrease will occur from the northwest late as the frontal boundary tracks southeast again. Another 1.5 to 2.5 inches of rain is likely across the watch area overnight. Have maintained thunder mention over most areas southeast of the Illinois River with a few hundred J/kg of MUCAPE available, with some more numerous storms south of I-70. .LONG TERM...(Sunday through Saturday) ISSUED AT 350 PM CST SAT DEC 26 2015 Two largest concerns this forecast period: 1. Heavy rain and flooding potential from around I-72 corridor southward through Monday afternoon, and 2. potential for significant icing from freezing rain northwest of the Illinois River Sunday night/Monday morning. The flash flood watch will continue through Monday afternoon for areas along and south of the I-72 corridor where storm total rainfall of 4 to 5 inches is expected beginning Saturday morning through Monday evening. Have already seen reports to around 1.75 inch of rainfall from morning rain/thunderstorms inside a swath from around Taylorville to Danville. While rainfall looks to be on the lighter side Sunday morning...another round of moderate to heavy rain looks to spread NE across central IL late in the day sunday as the intense low currently over the Southwest approaches. Precipitable water values approaching 1.25 inches will wrap around the low...and enough instability indicated for a chance of thunderstorms south of a line from Springfield to Paris. Temperatures will max out around 39 at Galesburg to 53 at Lawrenceville Sunday...cooling off through the day as colder air pushes in from the NW. Freezing rain will be a possibility Sunday night as the push of low level cold air continues northwest of the Illinois River Sunday night. Although uncertainty with timing and extent of subfreezing temperatures exist...accumulations could be rapid for several hours starting early Monday morning and have issued a winter storm watch for Knox and Stark counties for the potential of significant icing to around one quarter inch. Temperatures look to rise above freezing Monday afternoon ending the ice accumulation threat. East to northeast Winds will become substantial Sunday night through Monday...with speeds 20 to 30 mph mainly north of I-70 as intense pressure gradients surrounding the low arrive. The 12Z extended forecast models and their ensembles are in good agreement with a cooler and drier weather pattern setting up during 2nd half of week. A weak weather system to move into the Midwest on Wednesday and bring small chances of light rain and snow to central IL with mainly light rain chances southeast of I-70. Deeper moisture to stay SE of IL Wed so any precipitation that occurs will be quite light. Highs Wed mainly in the 30s with some lower 40s southeast of I-70. Large Canadian high pressure settling into the nations heartland, brings even cooler temperatures Thu thru Saturday to central IL despite return of partly sunny skies with highs in mid to 20s to around 30 northern CWA and 30-35 southeast of I-70. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday evening) ISSUED AT 500 PM CST SAT DEC 26 2015 Large area of rain continues to stream northeast out of Missouri late this afternoon and that is expected to continue through the overnight hours as well bringing mostly IFR/LIFR conditions to the forecast area. Rain with isolated TSRA are expected with the better thunder chances mostly around SPI and DEC. The rain looks to begin to taper off from northwest to southeast later tomorrow morning into the afternoon as one phase of the storm moves out of the area. Still looking at least MVFR cigs during the day with some IFR conditions where the rain lingers longer, mainly at SPI and DEC. Surface winds will be variable in direction for the next few hours but are expected to shift into the north to the northeast and increase over the area after 02z, with speeds in the 10 to 15 kt range thru about 07z before winds increase to 12 to 17 kts with gusts up to 27 kts at times into Sunday morning. During the day Sunday, we look for winds in the 360-030 direction at 20 to 30 kts with gusts to around 35 kts at times as the main part of the storm starts to move in our direction. && .HYDROLOGY... ISSUED AT 350 PM CST SAT DEC 26 2015 Widespread river flooding is anticipated to develop over the next couple days, due to the large area of 2 to 5 inch rains forecast. Have issued some sort of statement or outlook for all 16 river forecast points in our CWA. With a lot of it based on QPF, we issued Hydrologic Outlooks for the Mackinaw, Vermilion, Sangamon and Vermilion Rivers, as well as Salt Creek near Greenview and the Illinois River at Henry. At the moment, the only river that may be borderline in terms of flood potential is the Spoon River, but the forecast QPF does bring London Mills very close to flood stage. With the rains that have occurred so far today heavier than expected due to the morning convection, flood warnings may need to be expanded with the evening hydrologic model run. This would be most likely with the Sangamon River. && .ILX Watches/Warnings/Advisories... Winter Storm Watch from late Sunday night through Monday afternoon for ILZ027-028.
