AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
245 PM CDT THU SEP 10 2015

.SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 245 PM CDT THU SEP 10 2015

19z/2pm surface analysis shows a cold front extending from Lake
Superior southwestward into eastern Iowa.  A cluster of
thunderstorms that developed in advance of the front this morning
continues to track E/SE across Livingston County...while additional
storms are beginning to develop along its trailing outflow boundary
from Bloomington-Normal northwestward to near Burlington, Iowa.
LAPS mesoanalysis shows a narrow axis of SBCAPEs from 1500 to
2000J/kg along/ahead of the outflow, which will likely result in a
few vigorous updrafts and the potential for hail with some of the
storms over the next few hours.  Once the sun sets and daytime
instability wanes, any risk for hail/gusty winds will diminish.
Will highlight the I-74 corridor with the highest PoPs early this
evening as the outflow boundary becomes active.  After that, think
additional scattered thunderstorms will develop along the actual
cold front and track E/SE into the area from late evening into the
overnight hours.  Based on timing of front, have kept locations
south of the I-70 corridor dry until after midnight.  Elsewhere have
carried high chance PoPs.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Friday THROUGH Thursday)
ISSUED AT 245 PM CDT THU SEP 10 2015

Cold front is progged to pass through central Illinois tonight and
will be pushing into Indiana by Friday morning.  Despite
FROPA...models continue to show lingering showers across much of the
area east of the Illinois River through the morning hours.  With
boundary moving even further away, most of the rain will come to an
end by afternoon.  Have therefore ended PoPs across the western half
of the CWA after 18z.  Will need to keep an eye on a deep upper low
digging southward late in the day...as NAM continues to suggest
scattered showers developing in association with this feature across
north-central Illinois by mid to late afternoon.  As a result...have
kept low chance PoPs in the forecast along/northeast of a
Bloomington to Danville line through the entire day.

Much cooler conditions will be the rule this weekend, as 1024mb
surface high builds southward out of Canada.  GFS shows 850mb temps
dropping into the 3 to 5C range on Saturday, supporting high
temperatures only in the middle to upper 60s.  In addition, as upper
low digs southward into the Ohio River Valley, a few light showers
will be possible across east-central Illinois.  Have included slight
chance PoPs east of I-57 accordingly.  Surface ridge axis will be
overhead by 12z Sunday, resulting in the coolest night of the
forecast period.  Clear skies/light winds will allow dry airmass to
cool into the middle 40s in most areas by early Sunday morning.

After that, upper low will retreat into eastern Canada and heights
will rise substantially across the Midwest early next week.  The end
result will be a steady warming trend, with highs returning to the
middle 80s by Tuesday and Wednesday.  GFS/ECMWF are both in fairly
good agreement that the next cold front will begin to approach by
Thursday.  As a result, have included chance PoPs across the western
CWA Wednesday night, then everywhere on Thursday.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z Friday Afternoon)
ISSUED AT 1240 PM CDT THU SEP 10 2015

Outflow boundary from convection in northern Illinois is
approaching KPIA/KBMI from the north. While the ongoing convection
is expected to remain north of these TAF sites, high-res models
develop scattered convection along this boundary as it drops into
central Illinois. Already starting to see some development along
the IL/IA border west of KGBG ahead of the boundary. Have made
some adjustments to the timing of the VCTS, speeding it up by a
couple hours in most cases. The main cold front remains further
northwest and will likely start affecting central Illinois toward
06Z. After tailing off for a time, some increase in showers is
possible late tonight, but currently think the overnight thunder
potential will remain further south. Northerly winds may become
gusty toward the end of the forecast period, with cold air
advection taking place.
