Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
318 PM CDT Sun May 27 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday night)
ISSUED AT 310 PM CDT Sun May 27 2018

Isolated to scattered strong to locally severe thunderstorms have
developed along and southeast of I-55 at mid afternoon and
drifting slowly sse at 5-15 mph. The tropical heat and humidity
gave a very unstable airmass with LAPS CAPES of 2000-5000 j/kg,
highest values south of I-74 and north of I-70. Temps rose into
the low to mid 90s by mid afternoon. Heat indices peaked from mid
to upper 90s and few spots around 100F. But some cooling at some
sites from thunderstorms. Dewpoints also dropping especially ne
CWA where 55-65F dewpoints from I-74 ne, while very moist
dewpoints in the upper 60s/lower 70s from Lincoln sw. A strong 587
dm 500 mb subtropical ridge extended from west Texas into sw IA
was giving the heat wave to central and southeast IL today and
will continue Monday/Memorial Day.

Diurnally driven isolated to scattered convection will dissipate
by sunset over central and southeast CWA with nighttime period
tonight being dry. Some patchy fog possible overnight in southeast
IL. Lows tonight in the upper 60s to around 70F. Another hot day
on Monday with highs in the low to mid 90s and a few cities will
again reach near records. Please refer to climate section for
record highs today through Tuesday. Going with a dry forecast on
Monday with strong upper level ridge nearby and also getting
subsidence from subtropical storm Albert that moves into the FL
panhandle by Monday morning and into southcentral AL by sunset
Monday. An isolated thunderstorm could develop south of highway 50
during mid to late Monday afternoon. Heat indices will again peak
in the mid to upper 90s with a few cites near 100F. Lows Monday
night around 70F.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday)
ISSUED AT 310 PM CDT Sun May 27 2018

On Tue will see northern fringe of Alberto's rain bands moving
into areas from I-72 south during Tue afternoon where 20-30% pops
of showers and thunderstorms. Highs Tue in the lower 90s central
IL and upper 80s in southeast IL where more cloud cover and higher
rain chances. Heat indices Tue afternoon are in the low to mid
90s.

The remnants of Alberto to lift toward sw IN by sunrise Wed and
move northward over western Indiana during Wed, before curving ne
into central lower MI by sunrise Thu. 12Z forecast models have
been trending further west with this tropical system and looks
like central and eastern IL will see a better chance of beneficial
rains. Chances of showers and thunderstorms will increase from
north to south during Tue night and have likely to categorical
pops in eastern IL overnight Tue night into Wed. Pops then
decrease to chance in eastern IL on Wed evening. Expect 1-2 inches
of rain possible in eastern IL from Tue night through Wed
evening. Much less amounts in western IL where quarter to half
inch amounts possible. Wed to be the coolest day due to Alberto
being nearby with highs in the lower 80s, coolest in eastern IL
where around 80F, and near 85F in west central IL.

Forecast models continue to linger chances of showers and isolated
thunderstorms Thu and Thu especially east of the IL river with a
lingering upper level trof over the area. Temps warm back up to
85-90F on Thu with return of partly to mostly sunny skies on Thu.
A sharp upper level ridge builds west of IL late this week with
upper level trof east, though models differ with placement and
intensity of this trof. GFS model is stronger with cutoff low
closer to IL over Ohio river valley on Sat while favored Ecmwf
and GEM models have upper level low further east over mid Atlantic
states. Have slight chance of showers/thunderstorms east of I-57
on Friday, then dry. Highs Fri in the upper 80s to around 90F,
then mid to upper 80s Sat and low to mid 80s on Sunday.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon)
Issued at 1255 PM CDT Sun May 27 2018

VFR conditions are forecast to continue across the central IL
airports through 18Z/1 pm Monday-Memorial Day. Scattered to broken
cumulus clouds developed during midday east of the IL river with
bases of 4-6k ft. Few cumulus clouds over the IL river valley by
PIA which is closer to strong upper level ridge with 587 dm 500 mb
high over nw MO. Isolated convection recently developed in
southeast IL and this area will continue to see best chances for
that into early evening. A stray shower or thunderstorm could
develop as far north as central IL during mid or late afternoon
in very unstable air mass with LAPS CAPES of 3400-5400 j/kg north
of I-70, while MLCAPES are 2000-4000 j/kg. But lack of a boundary
or trigger/lifting mechanism along with weak wind shear with 0-6
km bulk shear near 20 kts or less, will keep convection very
isolated. Kept TAFS dry but will need to watch southern TAF sites
along I-72. Vsbys stayed above 5 miles early this morning over
central IL airports and feel this will be the case again overnight
into early Monday morning. Winds will remain light next 24 hours,
a south to sw direction this afternoon and light and variable
tonight into Monday morning.
