Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
1245 AM CDT Tue Aug 7 2018

.UPDATE...
Issued at 930 PM CDT Mon Aug 6 2018

Updated the forecast to address the convection chances rest of
tonight. A band of strong to potentially severe thunderstorms with
heavy rains have occurred from northern Logan county eastward
across northern parts of Champaign and Vermilion counties and
moving east at 20-25 mph. Another area of showers and
thunderstorms was upstream over southern IA and nw MO. This
convection is tied to a east-west oriented frontal boundary
extending from the IA/MO border across central IL just north of
Lincoln and Champaign and into central IN south of Lafayette. The
NAMnest model seems to be handling convection the best today and
leaned on this model for rest of tonight. This continues some
isolated to scattered convection north of I-70 into overnight as
frontal boundary stays quasi-stationary over central IL. KILX 00Z
sounding had precipitable water value near 2 inches so locally
heavy rains to remain possible into Tue. SPC day1 update removed
slight risk of severe storms rest of tonight that was from I-72
north, but still has marginal risk of severe storms north of
Effingham, Cumberland and Clark counties. Could be some patchy fog
developing during overnight in muggy air mass especially in areas
that received rain over east central IL and also in less cloudy
areas south of I-70. Lows of 69-73F look on track overnight.

&&

.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 06Z TAFS through 06Z Tuesday night)
Issued at 1244 AM CDT Tue Aug 7 2018

Carried VCSH/VCTS for isolated showers and thunderstorms over
central IL til 08-09Z. Also carried a tempo group for MVFR
conditions with a band of convection tracking eastward into PIA
next few hours. Models dissipate this band before it gets to I-55
but will still need to keep an eye on it for BMI and SPI.
Could be some patchy fog from 08Z-14Z especially in areas that
received rainfall from convection during the night. More isolated
to scattered showers/thunderstorms to develop by late Tue morning
into Tue afternoon over central IL as frontal boundary over
central IL gradually shifts into southeast IL by Tue evening.
Winds have been NE less than 10 kts over BMI and PIA and I-72 taf
sites will be variable around 5 kts. Generally kept winds variable
around 5 kts next 24 hours with nearby frontal boundary.
