BakWhat 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 Sep 7, 6:41 AM CDT, 3 hours 4 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 7, 6:41 AM CDT, 3 hours 4 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lincoln IL 641 AM CDT Fri Sep 7 2018 .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) ISSUED AT 338 AM CDT Fri Sep 7 2018 Showers and isolated thunderstorms will continue to be possible across central and eastern IL this morning as a stationary boundary remains over the area...though it is very diffuse and not discernible in the sfc data. HiRes models remain somewhat similar and consistent with precip continuing across the area through this afternoon and into this evening. So will have occasional pops across a good portion of the area through this afternoon and then diminish somewhat to likely pops for this evening and overnight tonight. Higher pops will still be in southwest areas of the CWA this evening as the remnants of TS Gordon move into southern MO tonight. Higher, occasional pops will increase into the southern parts of the CWA late evening to overnight tonight as the effects of TS Gordon begin to move close to the area. Will keep the flood watch going as is and continue to allow it to end in the north parts of the CWA tonight. Will also not expand into Mclean, Marshall, or Stark county as these areas did not get that much rain the previous day/night as areas along and west of the IL river...and only expecting an additional 1-2 inches of rain through tonight in those areas. High temps will primarily be in the 70s, except for the southeast where some spots that may not as much rain could reach to around 80. Winds will be northeast through the period at 10-15 mph but by evening as the gradient begins to tighten due to the approach of the remnants of TS Gordon, some breezier conditions are possible tonight with gust of 15-20 mph possible. .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday) ISSUED AT 338 AM CDT Fri Sep 7 2018 The remnants of TS Gordon will continue across the area Saturday and into Sat night across most of the CWA, especially in the central and southeast parts of the area. Northern areas, Galesburg, Peoria, and Bloomington/Normal will continue to get precip but not quite as heavy as the rest of the central IL. This area of higher pops and higher qpf will mainly be along and south of I-72 to Danville. By Sunday most of the pops will be east of the IL river as the weather system moves quickly to the east, getting caught in the mid level flow. By Sunday evening the precip will have moved out of the area except for a small sliver of very small pops next to the IN border. After Sunday evening, dry weather is expected through the coming week as sfc high pressure builds over the area and a mid level ridge builds across the eastern half of the US. After very cool temps Sat and Sun in the 60s and lower 70s, afternoon high temps will begin to moderate back up through the week, reaching to around normal by end of next week. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Saturday morning) Issued at 640 AM CDT Fri Sep 7 2018 Primarily IFR ceilings and MVFR visibility are in place across the central IL terminals this morning with isolated variations in cig/vsby categories. Scattered showers across the region incorporate just very isolated thunderstorm activity at this time, not enough for mention the first few hours of the 12Z TAFs. As daytime heating takes place and the remnant circulation associated with former tropical storm Gordon approaches the area and begins to interact with a frontal zone draped over the region, showers should intensify and thunderstorm activity should increase somewhat by around 16Z. Any LIFR ceilings will likely lift into IFR category, however significant improvement beyond that is not expected. IFR cigs and MVFR vsby likely to continue through the period, although thunderstorm activity may decrease somewhat after 03Z. && .ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
