Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
259 PM CDT Thu Aug 3 2017

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday)
ISSUED AT 259 PM CDT Thu Aug 3 2017

Pre-frontal convection has been tracking across central Illinois
this afternoon, aided by surface based CAPE's reaching 3500 J/kg.
The storms are still ahead of the better shear though, and have
mainly been responsible for heavy rain and some winds to around 40
mph or so. Main cold front is still back across eastern Iowa into
west central Missouri, with a sizable gap in convection along it.
In terms of any threat of strong storms, what's going on now may
actually be the main show, as the higher resolution models suggest
more of a disorganized line ahead of the front this evening. The
NAM and ARW suggest the rain should be done as early as midnight
in our CWA, while the HRRR, GFS and RAP linger it a bit longer in
the far southeast. In the forecast, rain will be gone from the
Illinois River valley by about 10 pm, and will limit any post-
midnight rain to areas along and east of I-57.

Strong upper low currently over north central Minnesota will swing
eastward toward eastern Lake Superior by Friday afternoon.
Associated stratocumulus deck is expected to linger across areas
northeast of I-74 into the afternoon hours, which should help keep
high temperatures down, close to 70 degrees. Some afternoon
sunshine further west and a warming air mass behind the main
trough will allow for some warmer conditions, but still only in
the mid 70s.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Friday night through Thursday)
ISSUED AT 259 PM CDT Thu Aug 3 2017

Main focus in this period will be with timing of rain trends
Saturday night into Monday night, as a strong west-east upper
trough near the Canadian border swings southeast toward the mid-
Mississippi Valley. The ECMWF and NAM models develop an MCS west
of the Mississippi Saturday afternoon and roll it into much of the
CWA as early as Saturday evening, associated with a leading
shortwave, while the GFS is weaker and keeps us dry most of the
night. Didn't go quite as fast with the rain, but have brought in
healthy chance PoP's in most areas by midnight, with likely PoP's
in the far southwest after midnight Saturday night. As this MCS
tracks toward southern Illinois, the northwest CWA will see
temperatures kept down a fair amount with a northeast flow, mainly
lower 70s for Sunday. Areas further south will see periods of rain
and a few storms as the system passes, largely out of the area by
late Sunday evening as the cold front exits the area. Beyond that,
while the ECMWF would suggest dry conditions with high pressure
building eastward, the arrival of the earlier mentioned trough
axis would support at least chance PoP's on Monday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday afternoon)
Issued at 1230 PM CDT Thu Aug 3 2017

Scattered convection starting to fire between KSPI-KPIA, and a few
showers are within 10NM of KPIA as of 1725Z. Have included VCTS
out of the gate at KPIA/KBMI and will have it at the remainder of
the TAF sites by 20Z as storms continue to increase. Storms will
organize more into a line across eastern Iowa this afternoon and
move into central Illinois ahead of a cold front, and have
included a TEMPO period for gusty winds and MVFR conditions as the
line passes. The storms will be out of the TAF sites by 06Z.
Toward morning, some lower clouds will be swinging eastward across
the northern third of the state, and have included a short period
of MVFR ceilings from KBMI-KDEC east toward 12Z. However, the
lower clouds will be moving out by late morning.
