Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
328 PM CDT Sat Jul 14 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday)
ISSUED AT 259 PM CDT Sat Jul 14 2018
Upper level disturbances lined up across the region responsible
for both this mornings convection in Central IL, and this
afternoon out in NE Missouri. The warm, unstable airmass had
plenty of moisture fed into the region after days of WAA out of
the south. The storm complex eventually developed a strong cold
pool by mid morning, and tracking the outflow on sat imagery, the
outflow was tracking into southeastern IL where the airmass was
untouched, and warming into the max heat of the day with very
little in the way of cloud cover. That was enough forcing for
another round of strong convection this afternoon. Meanwhile, the
second disturbance over Missouri is also strengthening, and still
trying to get organized with a general lack of shear. These
thunderstorms and their associated boundaries are further
complicating the forecast through the overnight. As a result, the
pops are widespread, but being confined to the moderate
chance/scattered category. This actually continues into Sunday
morning. The previous forecast was far more aggressive with the
convection tomorrow, but tonights convection lingers in the models
into the morning, starting the day with a little less
stratification/less impressive lapse rates in the atmosphere and
clouds. Tomorrows extent of precip then becomes more of a factor
of the timing of the next upper wave as much as the sun burning
through and destabilizing the airmass. Models have come full
circle as well, suppressing what previously had been an active
day. That being said, it is a hot and muggy airmass and the models
may actually be over-suppressing the convective potential. =Pops
have been lowered from likely, but not by much.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday)
ISSUED AT 259 PM CDT Sat Jul 14 2018

Sunday night, the front finally starts to settle further into
the region, driving pops Sun night/Monday. The frontal passage
Monday afternoon/overnight will be the best chances for a more
widespread rainfall, with heavy rain potential across the board
given the available moisture in the region. Once the front moves
through, the temps cool into the mid 80s into the middle of the
week. Thursday, the next system deepens enough aloft to pull even
cooler air into the mid levels from the northeast, potentially
setting up some decent lapse rates for showers and thunderstorms
for Thursday night/Friday...and offer some below normal
temperatures for a more comfortable Friday. However, that lull in
the weather is amidst northwesterly flow in a far more progressive
wave pattern.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon)
Issued at 1245 PM CDT Sat Jul 14 2018
Problematic forecast with scattered showers and thunderstorms
ill-timed in prev model runs. Still dealing with current precip
and cigs in BMI/CMI/DEC. Another round of showers and
thunderstorms will be possible this afternoon, driven by max
heating, as well as the next short wave moving into the state
later this afternoon/evening. At this point, delineating
convective initiation is going to be a very short term prospect.
For now, going with a couple hours without precip, as cu is just
starting to show up on visible in the western terminals... and
VCTS beyond that. Tempo group in for at least the best chance for
thunder later this afternoon. Visibility concerns overnight will
hinge on location of showers/enhancement to llvl RH this
afternoon...better predicted by the xover temps later this
afternoon.
