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 30, 11:31 AM CDT, 5 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 30, 11:31 AM CDT, 5 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
1131 AM CDT TUE AUG 30 2016

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1125 AM CDT Tue Aug 30 2016
Wave passing through the area this morning are resulting in quite
a bit of rain across Central Illinois. Several areas are reporting
issues with local roads with the high precip rates. Rates of an
inch or so an hour have been reported. Forecast is doing well, but
will be adjusting the pops going into the afternoon shortly.
Models have been inconsistent and the extensive cloud cover may
limit the precip...but expect at least sct activity. Will be
adjusting the wording accordingly. In the SE, where there is still
plenty of sunshine, the higher max temps remain.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
ISSUED AT 337 AM CDT Tue Aug 30 2016

Surface high pressure ridge will sit over the northern part of the
state through the day and then slowly slide south. As this occurs, a
weak surface wave will move east into the area. Storms have already
developed in the northwest part of the CWA, but additional storms
are expected to develop in the west and northwest and then move east
and southeast through the afternoon and into the evening. Likely
pops are expected early this afternoon northwest of I-55 to account
for where storms are expected to move into first. Storms will
probably be scattered across the area this afternoon and into this
evening, so will just maintain chances pops over most of the area
east of I-55 this afternoon and through tonight. Temps will be warm
again today, but should be more clouds this afternoon where the rain
is expected to be. Warmest temps will be in the southeast where
should be lots of sun through the day.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday)
ISSUED AT 337 AM CDT Tue Aug 30 2016

A 593 dm 500 mb subtropical ridge was over the mid MS river valley
this morning and has been ridging in from the mid Atlantic states
the past few days, providing the tropical summer time heat and
humidity. The upper level pattern will begin to shift as a 563 dm
500 mb low near the Manitoba/Ontario and Hudson Bay border deepens
to around 560 dm as it tracks southeast into western Quebec by Wed
afternoon. This deepens an upper level trof over the Great Lakes
and Ohio valley on Wed and Wed night, and drives a cold front sse
over central IL on Wed, and exiting southeast IL by sunset Wed and
bringing a good chance of showers/thunderstorms on Wed with its
passage. MUCAPES run from 1500-2200 J/KG from IL river southeast on
Wed afternoon while 0-6 km Bulk Shear fairly weak from 20-25 kts
over eastern IL. So SPC does not have a marginal risk on Wed
afternoon, but will continue a threat of locally heavy rain as
Precipitable water values are 1.60-2.10 inches from IL river
southeast through Wed afternoon and into southeast IL early Wed
evening until dusk and lingered isolated convection early Wed
evening in far southeast IL. One more muggy day on Wed with
dewpoints in the upper 60s and lower 70s with highs around 80F from
I-74 north and mid 80s south of I-70.

Big change in airmass on Wed night and Thu as 1029 mb Canadian high
pressure noses southward from Hudson Bay and Ontario into WI with
NNE flow bringing in cooler and less humid air. Lows Wed night will
be in the upper 50s over central IL, and lower 60s from I-70 south.
Mostly sunny skies Thu with highs actually below normal in the upper
70s, with Lawrenceville near 80F. More comfortable dewpoints in the
upper 50s/lower 60s. Similar conditions expected Thu night and
Friday as surface high pressure slowly builds over the western
Great Lakes and upper level ridge shifts eastward toward IL by
Friday afternoon. Fair and less humid weather prevailing with
sunny skies Friday. Lows Thu night in the mid to upper 50s, highs
on Friday in the upper 70s. Dewpoints only 55-60F on Friday.

Another pleasant sunny day expected on Saturday over central and
southeast IL as surface high pressure drifts into the eastern Great
Lakes and upper level ridge expands into the Ohio river valley.
Highs near 80F on Saturday with dewpoints in the upper 50s/lower 60s
with fairly light ESE winds. Temperatures and dewpoints gradually
rise on Sunday and Monday as surface high pressure moves into New
England and the mid Atlantic states and get an increasing southerly
flow. Sunday still looks dry across the CWA with mostly sunny skies.
Highs in the lower 80s Sunday with Lawrenceville near 85F with
dewpoints rising into the mid to upper 60s by Sunday afternoon.
Highs in the mid 80s on Monday (Labor Day) with more muggy dewpoints
in the upper 60s to near 70F.

A weather disturbance ejecting northeast across the upper Midwest on
Sunday night and Monday, to bring a slight chance of showers and
thunderstorms nw of the IL river overnight Sunday night and then a
20-30% of showers/thunderstorms from I-55 northwest on Monday while
eastcentral and southeast IL stays dry on Monday. Have 20-40% chance
of convection nw of I-70 on Monday night into Tue with highest pops
focused over the IL river valley closer to low pressure tracking
northeast across central or nw parts of IA and WI.

A tropical depression with 35 mph winds drifting westward off the
west coast of Cuba is forecast by NHC to become a tropical storm and
turn northeast and move into northeast Florida by sunset Thursday,
and pass southeast of NC on Friday night into Saturday. This
tropical system should keep its rainfall well southeast of IL. But
if traveling to Florida or the southeast Atlantic coastal region,
monitor later forecasts and statements from the National Hurricane
Center (NHC).

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Wednesday morning)
Issued at 659 AM CDT Wed Sep 1 2016

Scattered showers and thunderstorms have already developed along a
boundary near PIA with additional showers developing along the
associated outflow boundary near BMI. Also appears there is a weak
boundary from SPI to CMI so expecting scattered convection to
develop there too. So all sites will have VCTS with TEMPO group at
PIA and BMI this morning. Lots of light fog as well so have this
included at all sites as a TEMPO group and am expecting this to
improve around 13-14z. HiRes models do not have a good handle on
current situation, but am expecting convection to dissipate for
later this morning, though briefly. Additional convection should
develop early afternoon in the west and then progress to the east
through the afternoon. For now will just have VCTS for all sites,
but would expect a TEMPO group to be added later today once things
get going. Winds will be light out of the east, but will switch to
variable for this afternoon and into the evening.
