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 May 11, 2:43 PM CDT, 51 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 11, 2:43 PM CDT, 51 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
243 PM CDT WED MAY 11 2016

.SHORT TERM...(Tonight)
ISSUED AT 241 PM CDT Wed May 11 2016

Another storm system moving through the region today and tonight has
developed some convective activity early. The better organized
storms are just south of ILX this afternoon, but ample instability
was in place in west central Illinois.  Moving forward into the
overnight hours, the modeling of the evolution of the storms becomes
far more problematic. The current activity mixes the atmosphere to
an extent, and at least a couple runs of the HRRR actually responds
by breaking the subsequent line of convection that develops later
tonight with the front itself. Summary forecast would be that the
limited activity now will likely not eliminate the second round with
the forcing of the actual front tonight... but may limit the severe
potential.  Either way, continuation of the pops ahead of the
boundary through the overnight and damping the diurnal swing this
evening and through the overnight somewhat for the cloud cover.
NAM12 layer RH starting a brief clearing behind the front until the
stratus moves back in before morning.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Wednesday)
ISSUED AT 241 PM CDT Wed May 11 2016

Cool and wet period shaping up for the region over the next week.
Large gyre rotating slowly across eastern Canada will continue to
produce reinforcing shots of cool air as it moves into the Canadian
maritime by midweek. Although models are generally similar in the
overall pattern, the timing of individual waves and the orientation
of the trailing portion of the system is somewhat different.

On Thursday the first in the series of cold fronts will cross the
state. Depending on timing, there does appear to be a window in
eastern Illinois during the afternoon where thunderstorms will
develop along and just in front of the front. Some of the storms
along the Indiana border to the south of Danville may be capable of
strong winds and hail.

Cooler temps move in behind the front, with lows Thursday Night
dropping below normal as 850mb temps are progged to drop some 10C
between. A second cold front will push through Friday Afternoon and
Friday Night bring subfreezing 850mb temps in its wake. Moisture
should be quite limited given that Thursday's front will shunt the
bulk of deep moisture southeast of the forecast area. There may be
enough residual moisture for a few thunderstorms to develop along
the front.

The front is expected to push southward to near the Gulf Coast over
the weekend and then begin to return north as the upper low moves
away. Overrunning moisture over the cool air in place is expected to
begin to impact the area by Monday with periods of showers and
thunderstorms as waves in the southern stream flow interact with
the front as it slowly moves northward. Since central and southeast
Illinois will be on the cool side of the boundary, severe weather
threat should be limited.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon)
Issued at 1241 PM CDT Wed May 11 2016
Forecast problematic. Models split with how to deal with
convection through the early afternoon. Have put in more obvious
precip/TS for PIA SPI DEC and BMI in the short term...delaying
entirely for CMI in the east. VCTS dominating the remainder of the
afternoon and early evening due to potential mesoscale influences
and plenty of instability, regardless of lifting mechanisms.
through the morning, llvl moisture likely to bring IFR cigs back
in right behind the initial clearing behind the front tonight. NAM
layer RH hinting at a chance for a break out in PIA and SPI for
mid morning...have trended forecast that way. May be a little
optimistic.

&&

.ILX Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
NONE.
