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 Aug 13, 6:34 PM CDT, 1 hour 58 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 13, 6:34 PM CDT, 1 hour 58 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
634 PM CDT SAT AUG 13 2016

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday)
ISSUED AT 300 PM CDT Sat Aug 13 2016

Main focus remains with the convective trends over the southeast
CWA. Strong tropical plume continues to be driven northward from the
low over Louisiana. Surface front was analyzed this afternoon
roughly from near Terre Haute to south central Missouri, and is
becoming parallel to the upper flow. As a result, only a slow drift
southward is expected through Sunday. HRRR has a good handle on the
convection that developed over the areas south of I-70 around
midday, and keeps most of the showers/storms going through about
sunset. Other high-resolution guidance supports a break down there
this evening, before showers/storms start pushing northward again
after midnight and focus in the same general area through Sunday.

Further north, fairly quiet weather expected over central Illinois.
Back edge of the clouds is advancing past east past the Illinois
River this afternoon, and the clearing should reach about as far
east as Champaign and Taylorville by late evening before the clouds
start to surge back northwest into these areas. The return of these
lower clouds should make it back to about I-55 by sunrise, so only
areas northwest of the Illinois River should see a decent amount of
sunshine on Sunday. Highs tomorrow will mainly be in the lower 80s
outside of the rainy areas, with upper 70s south of I-70 where the
rain will be more prevalent.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday)
ISSUED AT 300 PM CDT Sat Aug 13 2016

Though the frontal boundary will be south of the CWA, another wave
will begin lifting out of the southern Plains area. As this does,
the boundary will lift northward some. Strong lift is expected along
and north of this boundary Sunday night, which will produce another
round of heavy thunderstorms over southern IL beginning Sunday night
and continuing into Monday. High PW values will once again lead to
heavy rainfall over this area, with the heavy rainfall axis being
south of I-70 through the period. Amounts of 1 inch to 1.5 inches
will be likely in southeast IL. However, locally higher amounts will
be likely given the abundance of low level moisture and the
possibility of storms training over the same areas. Then the main
wave will lift through the area Monday night through Tue with the
last round of heavy thunderstorms. These storms will move over the
same areas with, again, locally heavy rainfall. Rainfall amounts
will likely exceed 2 inches in around along and south of I-70 Mon
night through Tue. This heavy rainfall will be on top of the
heavy rain that occurs Sun night through Mon. So, total potential
rainfall in southeast IL, along and south of I-70 will range from
5 to 6 inches, Sunday night through Tuesday. Isolated higher
amounts will be possible through the period given the high PW
values and possible training storms. Therefore, the Flash Flood
Watch has been extended in time, now ending at 12Z Tuesday
morning. Two more counties have also been added, Clark and
Cumberland, given the model trend of shifting some of the heavier
qpf north with the main wave moves through Monday night.

Once this frontal boundary and mid level wave moves out of the area,
the pattern changes some and drier weather is expected over parts of
the CWA for the rest of the coming week. However, with the mid level
flow becoming more northwest, small chances of precip will still be
needed in some areas of the CWA through the week. Then another
active wave looks to move into the area for the end of the week and
the beginning of the weekend. Therefore more showers and storms will
be possible.

Temps will be cooler through the first half of the week, but with
all the moisture, muggy conditions will be likely. After a brief day
of daytime highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s, mid to upper 80s
will return for the latter part of the week.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday evening)
Issued at 634 PM CDT Sat Aug 13 2016

The proximity of the stalled cold front southeast of our forecast
area will keep clouds near to our SE terminals of DEC and CMI
tonight. The other TAF sites should experience less clouds, with
light west to north winds under a weak pressure gradient.

The back edge of cloud shield has reached a line from DEC to CMI
at 00z, and it should continue to push southeast of those sites
the rest of the evening. However, HRRR and RAP guidance show a
northward surge of clouds and precipitation after midnight, with
VFR cloud cover possible.

Areas with limited cloud cover tonight could see some MVFR fog
develop. Have included tempo MVFR conditions for a couple hours
near sunrise tomorrow.
