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 26, 2:59 PM CDT, 2 hours 44 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 26, 2:59 PM CDT, 2 hours 44 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
259 PM CDT Fri May 26 2017

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday)
ISSUED AT 259 PM CDT Fri May 26 2017

Clusters of thunderstorms along the southern periphery of an MCV
will track across north-central Illinois this afternoon into the
early evening.  Based on radar trends and output from the HRRR and
3km NAM, it appears locations along/north of the I-74 corridor will
be impacted through about 00z/7pm.  As a result, have increased PoPs
to likely across this area through the remainder of the afternoon.
Once this system races into Indiana, it will drag a weak cold front
southward into central Illinois this evening.  With strong WAA
occurring throughout the entire depth of the atmosphere, mid-level
capping will be strong enough to prevent much convection from
developing along the trailing front. Have therefore only carried
slight chance PoPs across the southern two-thirds of the KILX CWA
from mid-evening through the overnight hours.  With the boundary in
the vicinity, winds are expected to become light/variable.  Given
increasing boundary layer moisture (both from advection and any
rainfall that occurs this afternoon), think fog will develop
tonight.  HRRR continues to show fog developing along the I-74
corridor by around midnight, then spreading further southward across
the remainder of the area as the night progresses.  Have added
patchy fog across the board accordingly.

Frontal boundary will stall along the I-70 corridor late tonight
through Saturday and will eventually serve as a focusing mechanism
for strong to potentially severe convection late Saturday.  Latest
models have continued to trend later with the next round of storms,
with most high-res solutions shifting the emphasis into the evening.
Given good consensus that Saturday will be dry, have dropped PoPs
until late in the afternoon across the far SW CWA.  Main event will
arrive Saturday evening, with models still not set on an exact
timing just yet.  NAM/GFS are the fastest models, with convection
developing upstream across Kansas during the afternoon...then
tracking eastward along the boundary and arriving in west-central
Illinois by early evening.  Meanwhile, other convective-allowing
models such as the WRF-NMM and WRF-ARW delay the arrival of the
convection until late evening into the overnight hours.  Storm mode
by the time the system arrives will be linear, so damaging wind
gusts with an isolated tornado threat would be most probable.  At
this time, have gone with likely PoPs across the western half of the
CWA during the evening, then further east to the Indiana border
after midnight.  If trends continue, the timing may eventually need
to be adjusted a bit later.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Friday)
ISSUED AT 259 PM CDT Fri May 26 2017

Once the Saturday night wave of convection passes to the east, it
will give the stalled frontal boundary a push to the south on
Sunday.  Airmass destabilizes ahead of the front by afternoon,
resulting in scattered thunderstorm development primarily along and
south of I-70.  Have included 30 PoPs across this area, with little
or no precip expected further north across the remainder of the
area.  High temperatures on Sunday will reach the middle to upper
70s.

Pronounced upper low will dig southward through Ontario into the
Great Lakes early next week, resulting in a cooling trend across
central Illinois.  A weak surface trough will sink southward around
the parent low on Monday, potentially bringing a few showers.
Convergence along the boundary will be weak and with the main upper
cold core still to the north, think areal coverage of precip will
remain low.  As a result, have only mentioned slight chance PoPs for
showers/thunder along and north of I-74 Monday afternoon.  Cool/dry
conditions will prevail Monday night into Tuesday before the next
potential system spreads showers across south-central Illinois
Tuesday night.  After that, mainly dry weather is expected until a
stronger system brings the next chance for rain by Friday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday afternoon)
Issued at 1253 PM CDT Fri May 26 2017

A cluster of thunderstorms has developed across west-central
Illinois early this afternoon and will continue tracking eastward
over the next several hours. Based on radar trends, have included
TEMPO thunder at KPIA between 18z and 20z. Further east, have
only gone with VCTS at KBMI and KCMI until convective certainty
and timing become better established. Once this wave passes, it
will push a weak cold front southward into the area this evening.
Isolated convection may develop along the boundary, so have
included VCTS at both KSPI and KDEC between 21z and 01z. After
that, winds will become light/variable and fog development will
become an issue. HRRR suggests fog will first develop along the
I-74 corridor where rain will be most prevalent this afternoon by
around 06z...then will develop/spread southward toward dawn. Have
therefore reduced visbys around midnight, with widespread IFR
ceilings and visbys down to around 2 miles between 09z and 13z.
