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 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.
