What 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 Apr 3, 6:53 AM CDT, 2 hours 36 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 3, 6:53 AM CDT, 2 hours 36 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
653 AM CDT Tue Apr 3 2018

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
ISSUED AT 319 AM CDT Tue Apr 3 2018
A quick disturbance moving through the region overnight into this
morning has brought the first run of showers and thunderstorms
well ahead of the advancing low pressure that will bring the
threat for severe storms later this afternoon and tonight. Low
clouds, drizzle, and reduced visibilities are dominating the
northern half of the forecast area...with showers and
thunderstorms more predominant over the south and east along the
IN border. Light southeasterly winds are further providing enough
turbulence to keep the visibilities from becoming a widespread
dense fog issue. For today, showers and continued threat for
thunderstorms accompany the developing warm front with half of Central
IL firmly in the warm sector. The deepening low tracking roughly
along the Interstate 55 corridor through midday...and warm air
advection and south/southwesterly winds pushing the temps to the
east of I-55 into the upper 50s/60s. The cooler side of the system
to the NW will be confined to the 40s and low 50s. The warmer
temps providing a little more instability for the eventual passage
of the front later in the afternoon. By 21z, convection
anticipated along the frontal boundary across Central IL,
progressing to the SE, interacting with increasingly unstable air
with the heat of the afternoon. Storms will initially hold a
threat for hail... and possible tornadic development scattered in
the region if the higher instability environment remains untapped
enough for rapid development along the front. Storms evolve into
more of a wind threat as the front drops to the SE and out of the
region.

Overnight as the precip drops to the southeast and out of the
forecast area, Central IL becomes largely impacted by a dry slot
on the back end of the system. Overnight lows drop into the 20s
for much of the area, with the southeast possibly getting to the
low 30s with more northwesterly winds.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday)
ISSUED AT 319 AM CDT Tue Apr 3 2018
Behind the front, the flow across much of the CONUS is shaped
around the trough aloft that sets up over the east coast. As a
result, the Midwest remains in weakly northwesterly flow, with
occasional waves rippling through and pops show up periodically
in the forecast. Thursday in the north... Friday night in the
south...these waves are quick and timing confidence is relatively
low. The wave on Friday is a little more vigorous and accompanied
by a reinforcing shot of cold air. Although the temps in the
forecast beyond today are a little below normal...the high temps
on Friday do not make it out of the 30s. The weekend gets another
shot at precip...starting as snow early possibly...eventually
dominating Sunday with rain.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Wednesday morning)
Issued at 648 AM CDT Tue Apr 3 2018

Widespread IFR condtions are expected through the daytime hours
today across the central Illinois terminals. A gradual
improvement to MVFR conditions is expected tonight as drier air
filters into the region behind a cold front. Showers and scattered
thunderstorms are expected until the front clears the area at all
local terminals...although KPIA should not see any thunder.
Frequent wind shifts are anticipated as the front
approaches/passes through the area today, with winds becoming
quite gusty at times.

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