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 Apr 10, 7:03 AM CDT, 1 hour 42 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 10, 7:03 AM CDT, 1 hour 42 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
703 AM CDT SUN APR 10 2016

.SHORT TERM...(Today)
ISSUED AT 314 AM CDT Sun Apr 10 2016

07z/2am surface analysis shows 1028mb high centered over the eastern
Great Lakes into the Appalachians, while a warm front is draped from
eastern Nebraska to Arkansas.  As the high shifts further away from
the region, the warm front will gradually lift into central Illinois
today, triggering showers and a few thunderstorms. Initial wave of
warm advection precip consisting of a mix of sprinkles/sleet passed
through the area earlier this evening and is now well to the E/NE.
Based on current radar loops and high-res model guidance, it appears
dry conditions will persist through at least sunrise before the
airmass slowly begins to moisten.  Surface dewpoints are only in the
teens and lower 20s right now, and this will likely impede
significant precip development for several more hours.  NAM/HRRR are
both insistent that showers will break out between 12z and
15z...then will become more widespread toward midday through the
afternoon hours.  Have therefore started the day with just slight
chance PoPs, then have increased to likely or categorical across
the board this afternoon.  Forecast soundings remain stable:
however, a narrow corridor of elevated instability edges into
west-central Illinois by 18z.  Have therefore mentioned isolated
thunder during the afternoon.  Aside from the rain chances, it
will be a windy and warmer day.  Winds will become southerly and
will gust to between 25 and 30 mph at times, helping push highs
into the middle to upper 50s.

.LONG TERM...(Tonight through Saturday)
ISSUED AT 314 AM CDT Sun Apr 10 2016

Cold front will settle southward into central Illinois tonight,
bringing widespread rain.  Given strong lift associated with
approaching short-wave trough swinging through the Upper Midwest and
deep-layer moisture flowing northward from the Gulf of Mexico,
categorical PoPs are warranted tonight.  As has been the case for
the past couple of days, models tend to develop the most widespread
precip from the I-72 corridor southward into southeast Illinois late
tonight into Monday.  As the boundary sags southward, rain will
continue across the southern KILX CWA through Monday, while
locations north of I-72 see an end to the showers.  Once the precip
ends, rainfall amounts are expected to range from around 0.25
northwest of the Illinois River...to 1.50 to 2.00 along I-70.

The front will drop south of the Ohio River Monday night, as
Canadian high pressure builds in from the north.  Skies will clear
and winds will become light as the pressure gradient relaxes,
resulting in another cold night across central Illinois.  Low
temperatures will drop into the upper 20s and lower 30s, likely
prompting the need for another round of Freeze Warnings across parts
of the area.

After that, high pressure will dominate the weather for the
remainder of the extended.  Temperatures will initially be on the
cool side, but as upper heights steadily rise, a marked warming
trend will develop by the end of the week.  High temperatures will
only be in the lower to middle 50s on Tuesday...but will rise to
around 70 by Saturday.  Models continue to advertise an upper-level
blocking pattern developing...that will keep any approaching storm
systems at bay until early next week at the earliest.  The end
result will be a prolonged stretch of warm/dry weather through at
least next Sunday.

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Monday morning)
Issued at 700 AM CDT Sun Apr 10 2016

Warm advection and isentropic lift will increase today as a warm
front lifts N-NE across Illinois. Showers will likely be occurringat
SPI by 13z, with rain overspreading the remaining TAF sites
through CMI by 15z. Forecast soundings suggest cigs lowering to
MVFR category this afternoon. HRRR and RAP ceiling projections
show that KPIA and KBMI will have higher chances of seeing IFR
cigs during the afternoon, but all sites could see brief periods
of IFR ceilings this afternoon. Prevailing MVFR cigs will continue
into the evening hours along with scattered showers and possibly a
few thunderstorms, especially from KSPI to KDEC. Rain should
eventually come to an end for PIA and BMI before the end of this
TAF period, with showers continuing across the southern terminals
through 12z/11Apr.

The 12z ILX sounding shows LLWS criteria will continue this
morning, with 1800Ft winds at 50kts from the SW. Surface winds
will increase from the south at 18-22G32KT. As a cold front
approaches this evening, look for surface winds to veer into a
southwest to west direction with the FROPA, and wind speeds
decreasing to 10 to 15 kts.
