What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at Nov 2, 2:44 PM CDT, 59 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Nov 2, 2:44 PM CDT, 59 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
244 PM CDT Wed Nov 2 2016

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday)
ISSUED AT 239 PM CDT Wed Nov 2 2016

Latest surface map showing the main low pressure center further west
toward Kansas, with a secondary low starting to organize near
Quincy. The warm front continues to arc just north of our forecast
area roughly along the I-80 corridor, with the trailing cold front
southwest through Kansas City. Clusters of thunderstorms have
tracked across the northern and northeast CWA so far, with more
widespread convection just ahead of the cold front and moving into
west central Illinois, where CAPE's have increased to around 500-1000
J/kg. The earlier convection has kept the northern CWA largely in
the 60s and lower 70s, while upper 70s to near 80 degrees prevail
south of I-72.

Greatest rain chances continue to be this evening as this line of
storms pushes east across the state, with lingering rain mainly
across the south half of the CWA after midnight. Storms so far have
pulsed up at times with sub-severe hail, and this will likely be the
general trend into early evening. The front itself should sweep
through most of the forecast area by about 4 am Thursday, but some
showers will linger over the far southeast until this front exits.

Clearing trend will push from northwest-southeast on Thursday as
high pressure starts to build east from the Plains. Temperatures
will be cooler than today, but still well above seasonal normals.
with highs mainly in the mid-upper 60s.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday)
ISSUED AT 239 PM CDT Wed Nov 2 2016

A sprawling surface high and at least weak upper-level ridging will
dominate the weather pattern across central and southeast Illinois
through Monday. This pattern is conducive to dry conditions and
continued above normal temperatures.

A significant upper-level wave is expected to top the mean ridge
across the lower 48 states early next week. This wave is forecast to
push a weak cold front through the forecast area Monday night into
Tuesday. This front is likely to be accompanied by a few showers and
possibly a thunderstorm, but a lack of available moisture should
keep the precipitation to a minimum. Quiet and slightly cooler
conditions will follow the front heading into midweek.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon)
Issued at 1238 PM CDT Wed Nov 2 2016

Convection starting to shift east of the TAF sites at midday, but
more thunderstorms are developing near the Iowa/Missouri border
and will be a factor for central Illinois TAF sites generally in
the 21Z-03Z time frame. Some MVFR visibilities/ceilings will occur
with the stronger storms initially. Once the storms pass, a cold
front will follow, and bring more widespread ceilings down into
low MVFR or IFR range much of the night. These should lift toward
early to mid morning Thursday.

&&

.ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.
