AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
1129 AM CST SUN DEC 27 2015

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1019 AM CST SUN DEC 27 2015

Northern edge of the rain shield continues to be shunted
southward, and was mainly south of a Danville to Taylorville line.
Some breaks have occurred even south of that area as well, but
rain continues to spread northeast out of southern Missouri.
Highest PoP's through the afternoon will remain across areas along
and south of I-70, with mostly dry conditions north of I-72.
Temperatures will hold fairly steady over most of the CWA, but
will fall a bit more in the far southeast before holding steady
there as well. Updated zones/grids sent to refine the PoP and
temperature trends. The Flash Flood Watch remains in place,
although we have extended it for Sangamon County due to releases
occurring from Lake Springfield.

Early look at the morning run of the NAM model shows a substantial
warm wedge moving into the northern CWA associated with the 850 mb
warm front. Forecast sounding for Galesburg shows temperatures
near that level getting as high as 10C by late morning with the
surface temperatures staying just above freezing. The GFS is not
quite as prominent with that warm layer, but still reaches 5C,
enough to fully melt any precipitation going through that layer.
Numerical guidance from the NAM, GFS and LAMP show the lowest
temperatures occurring around 8-9 am before rising back up above
freezing. Will await early afternoon conference call with Weather
Prediction Center and their new guidance before making any
decisions on how to evolve the Winter Storm Watch.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today)
ISSUED AT 351 AM CST SUN DEC 27 2015

The band of steady rainfall is expected to gradually shift southward
today, putting more focus on our southern counties south of I-72.
Precipitation should become much lighter or end NW of the IL river
by afternoon. Embedded thunderstorms will shift south of our
forecast area this morning, as the warm front slides into southern
Illinois. RAP model forecast precipitable water values are expected
to gradually decrease from 1.4 inches down toward 0.9-1.0 inches
across our southern forecast area by this afternoon. Those numbers
are still well above normal for late December, so steady rains look
likely south of I-72 well into the afternoon. We are still looking
for a northward return of the band of rain toward evening, but only
slightly before 6 pm today. Overall forecast adjustments were mainly
to reduce PoPs in the northern half of the forecast area, while the
southern counties remained in categorical PoPs all day. Winds will
remain gusty from the northeast at 15 to 30 mph, as temperatures
remain relatively steady in the upper 30s to upper 40s through the
day.

.LONG TERM...(Tonight through Saturday)
ISSUED AT 351 AM CST SUN DEC 27 2015

00Z forecast models have trended back south with colder air and
increasing freezing rain threat into northern CWA later Sunday night
through Monday morning. Will be expanding the winter storm watch to
include Fulton, Peoria and Marshall counties from late Sunday
night until 3 pm Monday afternoon for ice accumulations up to a
quarter inch. Will continue Knox and Stark counties in the winter
storm watch as well where the highest amounts of ice around a
quarter inch are likely. Meanwhile the flood watch will continue
through Monday for areas along and south of I-72. Flooding already
widespread over parts of areas south of I-72 to north of I-70
especially in Shelby, Christian and Moultrie counties where as
much as 3-5 inches of rain has fallen in less than 24 hours since
Saturday morning. An additional 2-3 inches of rain with locally
higher amounts is expected over areas from I-72 south through
Monday.

Strong 544 dm 500 mb low in northern Mexico just south of AZ will
eject ne into eastern IA by midnight Monday night, and pass ne of MI
by Tue afternoon. Water Vapor loop shows a tropical plume of deep
moisture streaming into IL from the western Gulf and southern
Mexico. Precipitable water values were 1.3 inches at ILX 00Z
sounding early Sat evening and projected to peak at 1.4-1.6 inches
in southern CWA early this morning and then gradually lower
especially northern half of CWA this afternoon and evening.
Precipitable Water values rise back up to between 1-1.5 inches on
Monday. So showers and a few thunderstorms to be more prominent over
SE IL tonight, and shifting northward toward I-72 Monday morning
along with heavy rain threat as 2nd surge of moisture/lift moves
into IL. Meanwhile northern CWA should dry out for a time this
afternoon and early evening, before moisture lifts back northward
later this evening and overnight. Surface temps will get to near or
just below freezing along and north of a Rushville to Bloomington
line overnight into Monday morning where freezing rain appears more
likely with a tenth to quarter inch of ice along with some sleet.
Have highest amounts of ice nw of Peoria and expanded winter storm
watch as stated above. Surface temps should elevate into mid to
upper 30s by Monday afternoon with freezing rain turning back to
rain. Very windy conditions develop later Sunday night into Monday
with ENE winds 25-35 mph and peak wind gusts of 40-50 mph, so a
wind advisory will likely be needed then as event draws closer.
These strong winds with ice accumulations up to a quarter inch
especially north of Peoria Monday morning could cause additional
problems.

Precipitation will diminish from SW to ne during Monday night and
could change to some light snow showers nw half of CWA before ending
but little if any accumulations expected.

A northern stream weather system approaching the Pacific Northwest
will track into the Midwest by Wed morning and bring small chances
of light rain/snow showers to central IL on Wed. Southeast IL looks
drier now on Wed and wx system shifts ne of central IL Wed night.
Highs Wed to range from 30-35F nw of the IL river to 40-45F from I-
70 southeast.

Strong upper level trof dominates the northeast half of the country
during 2nd half of the week, while large Canadian high pressure
settling into the Rockies and high plains will bring an extended
period of below normal temperatures to IL for a change. The coldest
air will be over area on Thu/Fri with highs staying below freezing
all but far southeast IL. Have partly cloudy skies Thu/Fri (more
clouds in ne CWA). Highs will only modify slightly New Years weekend
into the low to mid 30s despite more sunshine. CPC's 6-10 day
outlook for Jan 1-5th has great than normal chances of below normal
precipitation and temperatures.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon)
ISSUED AT 1129 AM CST SUN DEC 27 2015

Precipitation shield located just south of KDEC/KCMI late morning,
but general trend will be for this to edge southward through the
afternoon, so will only mention VCSH at those sites. Main theme
for the afternoon will be MVFR ceilings, although they may dip
briefly into IFR range. Overnight, the rain shield will head back
north again as an intense storm system lifts out of the southern
Plains. Forecast soundings for KBMI and especially KPIA show
potential for freezing rain/sleet late tonight and early Monday,
but surface temperatures will be a bit borderline. Have mentioned
a few hours of prevailing FZRA at KPIA but kept KBMI as a TEMPO
period.

Another big item will be with the winds. Winds to trend more
east-northeast this evening as the low lifts up, and the intensity
will result in strong winds developing. Most TAF sites should see
sustained winds of 25-30 knots by 06Z and gusts ramping up to the
35-40 knot range or higher overnight into Monday morning.
