Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
712 PM CDT Mon Aug 6 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday)
ISSUED AT 305 PM CDT Mon Aug 6 2018

A cold front to our west and northwest will edge across the
forecast area through Tuesday bringing periods of showers and
thunderstorms along with a gradual trend towards a less humid
air mass, at least compared to what we had over the forecast
area this afternoon. Instability parameters still look favorable
for clusters of strong storms this evening with ML Capes of
2500-3000 J/kg. Low level convergence beginning to increase just
ahead of the front to our northwest and that combined with some
cooling aloft thanks to the large scale lift associated with a
shortwave across north-central Iowa, should be enough to get the
storms going by late afternoon, although none of the models have
not done very well with the convective initiation for this
afternoon. Deterministic models currently suggest the most
concentrated area of convection later tonight looks to be across
our east and southeast with most of that activity moving out by
early Tuesday morning.

Another round of showers and storms will track east out of the Plains
Tuesday morning and move across central Illinois on Tuesday into
Tuesday evening with the activity shifting away from the Midwest as
the front gets shunted further south late Tuesday or Tuesday night.
Warm and humid again tonight with lows of 70 to 75 with afternoon
temperatures on Tuesday held down due to the extensive cloud cover
and scattered showers that are expected along the slow moving cool
front.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Monday)
ISSUED AT 305 PM CDT Mon Aug 6 2018

The cool front will sink well southeast of the area Tuesday night
into Wednesday bringing in slightly lower dew points for the rest
of the week. After the passage of a 500 mb shortwave late Tuesday
into Wednesday, our area will be under the influence of a northwest
flow pattern through the rest of the week with several shortwaves
embedded in the flow which may bring the threat for showers to
parts of our area from time to time through Friday.

A stronger shortwave trof is forecast to dig southeast into the
Great Lakes late Friday into Saturday with models suggesting an
upper low at 500 mb will close off over the lower Great Lakes this
weekend which will keep temperatures from getting too warm but
bring about periodic chances for showers starting Friday afternoon
as the next front approaches the area and then continuing through
the weekend. After our slight cool down tomorrow, thanks in large
part to the cloud cover and scattered showers, temperatures will
be back well into the 80s Wednesday through Friday. With the
closed upper low expected across our area this weekend, temperatures
will lower a few degrees, back into the lower 80s over most of
central Illinois.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday evening)
Issued at 708 PM CDT Mon Aug 6 2018

A slow moving cold front will make its way across central Illinois
during the 00Z TAF valid time. The presence of this front will
produce a prolonged risk of showers/storms. The best chances exist
for the next couple of hours, and then again after sunrise
Tuesday. Have only covered the threat with a VCTS mention for now
given the low certainty with explicit coverage/timing.
Predominantly VFR conditions expected away from thunderstorms,
although it appears periods of MVFR CIGs may be possible during
the day Tuesday. Wind will generally be light away from
thunderstorms.
