Area Forecast Discussion
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
303 AM CST Sun Feb 22 2015

.SHORT TERM...(Today)
ISSUED AT 303 AM CST SUN FEB 22 2015

Very cold airmass is spilling into central Illinois early this
morning, courtesy of 1045mb high centered over southern
Saskatchewan.  08z/2am temps are mainly in the middle to upper 20s,
but have dropped into the teens northwest of the Illinois River.
Further upstream, readings are in the single digits across much of
Iowa.  With strong CAA, high temperatures will be achieved this
morning across the western half of the KILX CWA, followed by slowly
falling temps for the remainder of the day.  Further east toward the
Indiana border, readings may rise a few degrees before falling this
afternoon. Max temps for the day will range from the teens
along/northwest of the Illinois River to the middle 20s along/south
of I-70.  Skies will temporarily clear across the northern CWA early
this morning, but additional mid/high clouds associated with a
short-wave over the Plains will stream eastward across the area
today.  End result will be a partly to mostly cloudy day.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Tonight through Saturday)
ISSUED AT 303 AM CST SUN FEB 22 2015

As bitterly cold airmass currently in place across the Northern
Plains arrives tonight, air temperatures will drop below zero across
the board.  Brisk northwesterly winds of 10-15 mph initially will
decrease to less than 10 mph overnight: however, extremely cold
wind-chills of -15 to -20 will result into Monday morning.  Will
therefore be issuing a Wind Chill Advisory for the entire CWA from
06z Mon to 15z Mon. Despite full sunshine, actual air temperatures
will struggle to reach the teens on Monday and will once again
drop below zero across the eastern half of the area Monday night.
Meanwhile, another fast-moving cold front will approach from the
northwest on Tuesday. Strong southwesterly winds ahead of the
boundary will bring a quick (but temporary) warm-up on Tuesday,
with highs climbing into the upper 20s to around 30 degrees. May
also see a few snow flurries during the afternoon as the front
swings through, especially across the north/northeast. Once front
passes, another shot of cold air will arrive for the middle and
end of the week.

Models continue to show a weak short-wave trough tracking through
the Plains into the Mississippi River Valley late Wednesday into
Thursday. While the GFS keeps this feature and its associated light
precip west of Illinois, both the ECMWF and GEM spread light snow
further east into the area.  Since this is the first model run
showing this, will maintain current cold/dry forecast until better
model consistency is achieved.

Next significant chance for precip will hold off until the weekend
when persistent upper low centered over southern Canada shifts
northward and a southwesterly flow pattern tries to establish itself
across the central CONUS.  As with any major pattern change, models
are having difficulty resolving timing issues.  Latest run of the
GFS suggests a prolonged period of overrunning clouds/precip may
develop Saturday night through Monday, before the main southwest
wave tracks through the region on Tuesday.  Meanwhile, ECMWF is dry
until late Sunday through Monday night as southwest energy passes
through the region.  Given discrepancies, have opted to limit
mentionable PoPs to the Saturday night through Sunday night time
frame.  Temps will be cold enough to support mainly snow, with a
rain/snow mix possible across the far southeast on Sunday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Sunday night)
ISSUED AT 1152 PM CST SAT FEB 21 2015

A few more hours of MVFR cigs are possible across the central
Illinois terminals. Then, the low clouds will scour out as
colder/drier air associated with an Arctic area of high pressure
pushes into the area. Once the low clouds depart, VFR conditions
will persist for the remainder of the period. Northwest winds will
become gusty on Sunday as the high builds, aided by diurnal
mixing.
