25What 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 Feb 24, 9:47 AM CST, 9 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 24, 9:47 AM CST, 9 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lincoln IL 947 AM CST Sat Feb 24 2018 .UPDATE... Issued at 947 AM CST Sat Feb 24 2018 Areas of light rain continue across the northern part of the forecast area this morning. Automated station at Galesburg suggests a bit of sleet may still be occurring, but temperatures are above freezing and no surface impacts have been received recently. Thus, the winter weather advisory was allowed to expire at 9 am. Further southeast, the heavier rains along I-70 have pushed off into Indiana, after surface and radar reports indicated that nearly 2 inches of rain fell since yesterday evening. No changes planned to the flood watch, as the next wave of rain is currently entering southwest Missouri. Hi-res models suggest this next batch of rain arriving toward mid-late afternoon. In the meantime, much of the forecast area should see a break in the precipitation around midday and early afternoon. Updated zones/grids were sent to refine the precipitation trends. Temperatures and winds were largely on track. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) ISSUED AT 311 AM CST Sat Feb 24 2018 Deep trough over the southwestern portions of the country continues the southwesterly flow into the Midwest aloft. Above normal temperatures and continued rain chances through tonight in the forecast. That being said, in the shorter term, precip moving in northwest of the IL River Valley this morning where the temps are still below 0C...keeping the winter headline for potential of light icing/bad early morning travel. Beyond that, areas in the south and eastern portions of the state the most susceptible to flooding due to where the rain has already fallen this week...and being under the highest qpf through tonight. Expanded the Flood Watch a line of counties north as the qpf forecast has shifted slightly to the north. For the showers this morning, the next wave is moving into the region now, spreading that precip further north again. Pretty decent continuity between models in a break in the activity from mid morning into early afternoon. Also in agreement that a front will move in and with another round going into the evening hours, scour the precip out of the region and set up for a break in the rainy weather that has been in place this week. However, details are missing as the position of the low is still a bit amorphous with an elongated trough associated with this wave. Thunder likely to accompany the afternoon/evening storms with better lift in a stronger wave. Anything surface based will have a rather narrow opportunity for development, looking for clearing within the lull between waves. Severe threat will also be hinging on that instability to a certain extent, even if the shear is pretty decent. For now, much of the forecast area is in a Marginal Risk, and the southeast in a Slight Risk, with the best chances to see some warmer temperatures. .LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday) ISSUED AT 311 AM CST Sat Feb 24 2018 Front moving through the region tonight/tomorrow morning will move the precip out, but not necessarily associated with a lot of cold air. Through Sunday, h5 pattern remains southwesterly, with a quick wave passing through the region dry which is a shift from previous forecast runs. Forecast soundings quite dry through Monday, with weak high pressure on the surface. Flow aloft sets up in a more zonal pattern until midweek when the next wave develops over the Rockies and brings an end to the brief dry period. Tuesday night, precip returns to the forecast, even as the model solutions diverge. The ECMWF splits a system that the GFS phases and looks to deepen out of balance in comparison to the axis orientation aloft. The blend of the two, as a result, is fairly widespread pops midweek. Expect major changes to the forecast, but the pops will likely remain in there mid week. Temperatures throughout the forecast much milder than normal as the temp profile really does not take much of a shift with the frontal passage tonight. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Sunday morning) Issued at 531 AM CST Sat Feb 24 2018 Showery mostly rain out there this morning. CMI briefly reporting UP, but a break in that is coming up quickly, so have left it out of the TAFs for now. Heaviest rain staying well to the south, but IFR conditions dominate with cigs under 1000 ft. Variable visibility with the showers/br. Winds are already easterly and a little higher than guidance so have made some adjustments. Expect a lull in the shower activity later this morning before the next wave this afternoon/evening. HRRR and other guidance not doing much in the way of lifting the ceilings even inside the break, and the TAFs reflect that trend. Later tonight, have the LLWS represented in the wake of TS potential. May need to expand that time frame with next issuance. && .ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
