AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
623 PM CDT SUN MAY 10 2015

.SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 257 PM CDT SUN MAY 10 2015

A WARM FRONT FROM JUST NORTH OF MACOMB TO JUST SOUTH OF PEORIA AND
NORTH OF BLOOMINGTON/NORMAL WILL SLOWLY LIFT NORTH ACROSS NORTHERN
COUNTIES THE REST OF TODAY...REACHING NORTH OF A GALESBURG TO LACON
LINE LATER THIS EVENING. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP NEAR THIS BOUNDARY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING. MEANWHILE AN AREA OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WAS
MOVING NE INTO CENTRAL MO AND SW IA AND IS PROJECTED TO TRACK NE
ACROSS CENTRAL IL 5-11 PM. UNSTABLE AIRMASS SOUTH OF WARM FRONT WITH
CAPES OF 1000-2000 J/KG AND PROJECTED TO PEAK FROM 1500-2500 J/KG
BETWEEN 21Z-01Z. SPC HAS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE STORMS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND THROUGH MID EVENING ACROSS CENTRAL IL EXCEPT THE 5 FAR
EASTERN COUNTIES ALONG THE INDIANA BORDER. SPC HAS 15-20% RISK OF
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND LARGE HAIL (1 INCH OR LARGER) AND 2% RISK OF
TORNADOES. STRONGER RISK OF SEVERE STORMS IS WEST OF IL OVER IA AND
MO WHERE STRONGER BULK SHEAR IS. MORE CONVECTION PROJECTED TO MOVE
INTO CENTRAL IL BY OVERNIGHT AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT
MOVING TOWARD WEST CENTRAL IL BY 12Z MONDAY. SO HAVE INCREASING POPS
FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THIS EVENING AND KEPT HIGHER POPS
OVERNIGHT.  LOWS TONIGHT MOSTLY IN THE MID 60S WITH COOLER LOWER 60S
BY GALESBURG.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 257 PM CDT SUN MAY 10 2015

MODELS HAVE COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT WITH A SOMEWHAT FASTER COLD
FRONTAL PASSAGE ON MONDAY. THE UPSIDE TO THIS TREND IS THAT OUR
SEVERE STORM THREAT APPEARS TO BE DIMINISHING. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO BE ONGOING ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST
AREA TO START THE DAY. HOWEVER THE FRONT SHOULD QUICKLY TRACK EAST
ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE MORNING
HOURS, WITH PRECIPITATION CHANCES QUICKLY ENDING IN ITS WAKE. AT THE
CURRENTLY EXPECTED FRONTAL SPEED, ONLY LOCATIONS EAST OF THE I-57
CORRIDOR APPEAR TO HAVE TIME TO DESTABILIZE ENOUGH TO POTENTIALLY
SUPPORT SEVERE WEATHER. CAPE VALUES EAST OF I=57 ARE PROGGED TO
APPROACH 1000 J/KG AHEAD OF THE FRONT, AND 30-40 KTS OF BULK SHEAR
IS EXPECTED ALONG THE FRONT. THIS INSTABILITY/FORCING SHOULD BE
SUFFICIENT FOR A FEW SEVERE STORMS, WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WINDS THE PRIMARY THREATS.

COOLER/DRIER WEATHER IS EXPECTED ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST
ILLINOIS MONDAY NIGHT INTO MIDWEEK BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. HOWEVER,
WHILE DAYTIME HIGHS MAY ONLY BE IN THE 60S TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY,
THE COOL AIR NOW LOOKS MORE TO BE A GLANCING BLOW AS OPPOSED TO
PREVIOUS SIGNS OF IT LASTING SEVERAL DAYS. UPPER LEVEL HEIGHTS BUILD
AND LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLY FLOW REDEVELOPS AFTER WEDNESDAY, ALLOWING
TEMPERATURES TO QUICKLY REBOUND TO ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS BY THE END OF
THE WORK WEEK. THE RETURN OF THE MORE SUMMER-LIKE CONDTIONS WILL
ALSO SIGNAL A RETURN TO UNSETTLED WEATHER BY THE END OF THE WEEK.
THE MODELS STILL EXHIBIT SPREAD IN THE DETAILS REGARDING HOW SOON
THE RAIN CHANCES RETURN, AS WELL AS WHEN CHANCES WILL BE HIGHEST.
UNFORTUNATELY, THIS FACT HAS RESULTED IN AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF
SHOWER/STORM CHANCES FROM THURSDAY NIGHT INTO THE WEEKEND ACROSS THE
ENTIRE FORECAST AREA. THE ECMWF RETURNS ITS OCCASIONAL SUPPORT FOR
PRECIPITATION AS SOON AS THURSDAY, BUT HAVE RESTRICTED THIS THREAT
TO THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA FOR NOW.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z MONDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 623 PM CDT SUN MAY 10 2015

LINE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS BEGINNING TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA AND
SHOULD MOVE EFFECT ALL TAF SITES OVER NEXT FEW HOURS. HAVE TIMED
THE STORMS TO BE IN PIA AND SPI AT THE START...DEC AND BMI BY
01Z...AND CMI BY 02Z. WILL HAVE A ONE HOUR TEMPO GROUP FOR MVFR
CONDITIONS SINCE LINE IS NARROW AND SHOULD NOT LAST VERY LONG
BASED ON IT MOVING THROUGH PPQ AND UIN. WILL KEEP VCTS GOING AT
ALL SITES FOR AN HOUR LONGER AFTER LINE MOVES THROUGH. AFTER THIS
LINE...BELIEVE BROKEN MID CLOUDS WILL BE THE RULE FOR AWHILE. THEN
THE MAIN FRONT/DRY LINE WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA AROUND OVERNIGHT.
WILL KEEP SHOWERS AND VCTS AT ALL SITES DURING OVERNIGHT HOURS AND
THINK IT MAY LAST FOR SEVERAL HOURS. THEN MVFR CIGS POSSIBLE
DURING THE MORNING BEHIND THIS FRONT WITH INCREASTING SOUTHWEST
