What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 31, 11:13 AM CDT, 1 minute earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 31, 11:13 AM CDT, 1 minute before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
1113 AM CDT Thu May 31 2018

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1105 AM CDT Thu May 31 2018

Updated forecast today for Severe Thunderstorm Watch for
southeast 8 counties along and south of I-70 through 5 pm.
Severe bow echo was racing ENE at 45-55 mph across southern IL and
moving over central and sw Clay county at 11 am. Xenia just had a
54 mph wind gust and west side of Olney estimated 65 mph at 1112
pm. Very unstable airmass over southern IL with MUCAPES up to
3000 j/kg while LAPS CAPES are 2800-3500 j/kg from Shelbyville to
Terre Haute south. Severe line of storms should pass through areas
along and southeast of I-70 next 1-2 hours, and be east of the
Wabash river before 18Z/1 pm. CAM models show another wave of
thunderstorms, some strong to severe, tracking eastward across
areas from I-72 south during late afternoon and early evening. SPC
day1 outlook has enhanced risk of severe along and south of
highway 50 over southern parts of Clay, Richland and Lawrence
counties. The slight risk is as far north as a Shelbyville to
Parisline, while the marginal risk of severe is as far north as
a Jacksonville to Lincoln to Rantoul line. Areas north of Lincoln
will see more isolated chances of convection this afternoon. Very
warm and humid today with highs in the upper 80s to around 90F
with dewpoints ranging from 65-75F, highest in southeast IL where
dewpoints currently in the mid 70s. Heat indices area already
90-95F over much of CWA and will peak in the low to mid 90s this
afternoon.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
ISSUED AT 310 AM CDT Thu May 31 2018

What remains of Alberto is being phased with another 500 mb wave
over the Upper Midwest this morning. An MCV associated with the
MCS currently over the Plains makes its way into the mid Miss
River Valley by midday. This wave will run into moderately
unstable air early, and short term models are producing some
scattered showers and thunderstorms across the southern third of
IL. However, the bulk shear is limited in the first round. As the
afternoon progresses, the better shear sets up in southern IL and
whatever air has had a chance to reenergize, or areas that were
not turned over, will have the potential to develop into more
severe storms. Much of the storms for Central IL will be either
surface based convection, with afternoon peak heating...or a
hybrid of the afternoon instability and cold pools from the
convection to the south of ILX CWA. Given the general instability
in the area, developing strong updrafts will result in a threat
for damaging winds and large hail with the stronger storms for the
areas along and south of a line from Macomb to Bloomington. So
far, the bulk of the activity for Central IL will come to an end
near sunset...with the storms to the south persisting in the
stronger shear environment. Temps today will climb to upper
80s/low 90s, with afternoon convection potentially limiting some
of that climb, esp south of I-70.

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday)
ISSUED AT 310 AM CDT Thu May 31 2018

So far, the forecast for Friday dries out briefly, but that will
depend on just how efficiently that wave moves out as it gets
kicked by the next trof moving into the High Plains tomorrow
night. This next trof is taking on some interesting
characteristics. The trof goes to a negative tilt pretty quickly
Friday night/Saturday, but the surface low remains elongated and without
explosive development in southern Canada. The pattern is further
complicated by another low moving into the Pac NW ready to rush
the wave along. Now, the elongated/sheared out nature of the
surface trough is evolving briefly to a double barrel low before
most of the energy moves into the bottom of the wave Monday night.
By then, the negative tilt is gone and the surface low moves out
of the Great Lakes. Will be interesting if that low remains as
weak at the surface as is currently in the models.

All of that being said, what that low means for Central IL is a
frontal passage on Saturday, running into some unstable summer air
again, and another round of showers and thunderstorms for the
region. A more pleasant Sunday with slightly cooler temperatures,
more in line with seasonal normals...highs in the upper 70s/lower
80s. A break in the precip expected to continue into mid week as
high pressure sets up over the region. On Tuesday, the ridge axis
slips to the east and another slow warm up comes back into the
forecast.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Friday morning)
Issued at 656 AM CDT Thu May 31 2018

Scattered TSRA will develop starting late morning into afternoon.
A more organized and stronger system of thunderstorms may impact
mainly southern terminals KSPI-KDEC southward in the late
afternoon and evening. Timing any break in thunderstorm activity
is not possible at this time given timing uncertainties at this
point. Have incorporated VCTS in TAFS starting 19-21Z, continuing
until 02-03Z. Winds SW under 12 kts diminishing after 02Z.
Primarily VFR conditions expected through the period, although
MVFR and strong gusty winds possible in thunderstorms.
