$$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 Apr 8, 6:54 PM CDT, 1 hour 8 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 8, 6:54 PM CDT, 1 hour 8 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL 654 PM CDT Wed Apr 8 2015 .SHORT TERM...(Tonight) ISSUED AT 305 PM CDT WED APR 8 2015 19z/2pm surface analysis shows a nearly stationary frontal boundary extending from near Lake Erie to the Southern Plains. The boundary has recently been pushed a bit further south across central Illinois by a passing wave of low pressure, with area obs showing it from near Rantoul to just south of Jacksonville. Since boundary is already parallel to the upper-level flow, am not expecting it to shift significantly either northward or southward tonight. Numerous short-waves evident on water vapor imagery will ripple along the front, producing periods of showers and thunderstorms. Based on current/expected position of front and upstream satellite imagery showing the next cluster of convection developing over northeast Oklahoma/southeast Kansas, think the southern half of the KILX CWA will be targeted for the heaviest rainfall overnight. Most models are struggling with the convective evolution today, so their solutions are suspect at best. The 12z SPC 4km WRF-NMM seems to have the most logical solution, featuring the current wave of convection tracking across south-central Illinois this afternoon, followed by additional waves of storms tonight mainly across the southeast KILX CWA. Due to expected QPF of 1 to locally 3 inches of additional rainfall from tonight into tomorrow, will be issuing a Flash Flood Watch for all locations along and south of a Paris to Shelbyville line. && .LONG TERM...(Thursday through Wednesday) ISSUED AT 305 PM CDT WED APR 8 2015 Showers and thunderstorms will be ongoing across much of central and southeast Illinois Thursday morning: however, a brief break in the precip chances may occur from late morning into the early afternoon before deepening low pressure tracking from northern Missouri to southern Wisconsin pulls a cold front into the region during the afternoon/evening. Due to clouds and morning convection, exact degree of destabilization remains in question: however, strong low-level wind shear will likely be enough to overcome this as the front moves into the Illinois River Valley during the afternoon. Most high-res model guidance shows a broken line of storms developing along the front during the early to mid-afternoon hours in the Illinois River Valley, then pushing east of the I-55 corridor by early evening. Will carry likely PoPs through the entire period accordingly. Once the storms form into a line, they will race eastward and exit into Indiana by midnight. High pressure will build into the region for the end of the week, providing seasonable temperatures and dry conditions for both Friday and Saturday. After that, another system will begin to approach from the southwest early next week. While several models try to aggressively spread showers back into the area as early as Sunday, think the bulk of the precip will hold off until Sunday night as the atmosphere gradually re-moistens. Still quite a bit of uncertainty with the timing of the system next week, although it is beginning to look like the best time frame for widespread showers/storms will be Monday night into Tuesday. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Thursday evening) ISSUED AT 654 PM CDT WED APR 8 2015 A break in the showers and storms will start out this TAF period. with VFR conditions prevailing. However, the next wave of storms is poised to move across Missouri this evening, with convection and MVFR/IFR conditions affecting all terminal sites overnight. A well organized MCV is projected to reach western IL by mid- evening. An increasing low level jet will help storms to intensify as they reach our western forecast area. we can't rule out another period of severe weather with damaging winds and large hail later this evening and after midnight. There remains some uncertainty to the track of the next wave, as the NCEP 4km WRF keeps the bulk of the strong convection just south of our TAF sites. Will keep the forecast for additional storms tonight, more in line with the NAM and GFS, and closely monitor short term trends with the storms upstream. Wind trends this evening look to be dominated by the frontal boundary still draped from west to east across IL, roughly just north of the I-72 corridor. Will keep southeast winds for the southern terminals, and east winds for PIA/BMI. Once the storms pass by tonight, winds will shift to the southwest tomorrow morning, and increase to 15-20kt sustained, with gusts to 30kt by afternoon. The next round of strong to severe storms is projected for Thursday afternoon, with damaging winds, hail and even a few tornadoes possible across central IL. && .ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
