Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
329 PM CDT Wed May 29 2019

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday)
ISSUED AT 321 PM CDT Wed May 29 2019

Focus in the near term is on the thunderstorm potential through
the remainder of today and tonight. Regional radar this afternoon
shows extensive convection from northeastern TX into SW MO with
additional scattered activity along the Ohio valley to our south.
Convection is expected to spread northeast through the rest of
today and do anticipate the greatest coverage of storms to stay
within the corridor described above, largely along or south of the
I-70 in Illinois late this evening and overnight. Meanwhile,
farther north, stable conditions have persisted over most of
central Illinois through the day associated with remnant outflow
from earlier convection. Stable waves have been noted on visible
satellite imagery through the day, and 18Z KILX raob indicated
just over 100 J/kg MLCIN. Given the time of day and thickening
cirrus blowoff from upstream convection, does seem that stability
may be a limiting factor for convection this evening. Still,
ascent associated with a low amplitude shortwave ahead of the main
upper low over the mid Missouri Valley and the right entrance
region to the upper jet moving over the area later today may
allow for at least scattered showers and thunderstorms north of
I-70. If this were to occur, ample shear in the environment still
supports at least a conditional severe threat with strong winds
and large hail the primary concerns. If any heavy thunderstorms
were to occur, couldn't rule out isolated flash flooding as well,
especially northwest of the Illinois River valley where 1-hr flash
flood guidance is between 0.75 and 1.0 inches. Confidence in this
occurring based on the aforementioned limiting factors is too low
to go with a flash flood watch at this time, but conditions will
need to be monitored closely this evening.

On Thursday, the main upper low to our west is progged to open and
swing east across the midwest resulting in yet another chance for
showers and thunderstorms. Lapse rates above 700mb don't look
overly impressive Thursday afternoon, so deep convection may
struggle limiting the overall severe threat. The wave does come
over at a favorable diurnal time, so the threat for some
lightning and possibly gusty, albeit sub-severe, winds remain.
Temperatures will be a bit cooler Thursday, topping out in the mid
to upper 70s.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday)
ISSUED AT 321 PM CDT Wed May 29 2019

Finally have a day without showers and thunderstorms in the
forecast on Friday in the wake of the upper wave that is progged
to shift east to the upper Ohio Valley Friday while a weak upper
ridge builds across the local area. Temperatures should respond
accordingly with highs back into the 80s across central Illinois
under mostly sunny skies and modest winds.

Break in the precipitation will be short-lived, however, as a
potent shortwave trough digs across the Great Lakes region over
the weekend. Modest 500mb height falls begin to overspread
Illinois on Saturday while the main cold front associated with
this system pushes across the area Saturday evening and overnight.
This front will be accompanied by another chance for showers and
thunderstorms, though the system does appear to remain
progressive.

High pressure builds across the Great Lakes and Midwest late in
the weekend an into the early part of next week. This should
provide yet another break from precipitation after any lingering
showers end early on Sunday and lasting into at least Monday.
Cooler temperatures are expected under the cooler north flow.
Highs are expected to be only in the low to mid 70s Sunday and
Monday. Confidence in the forecast details diminishes later in the
week as model discrepancies grow, but precip chances do return by
either Tuesday or Wednesday as the high settles off the east
coast with southwest flow bringing gulf moisture and warmer
temperatures back into the Midwest in its wake.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon)
Issued at 1226 PM CDT Wed May 29 2019

A weak frontal boundary has settled near the I-74 corridor with
accompanying MVFR ceilings and a wind shift to the northeast for
areas north of the front. Ceilings are expected to scatter out of
the next hour or two which should result in primarily VFR
conditions the rest of today until thunderstorms arrive this
evening. While and isolated thunderstorm or two is possible mid
afternoon, the best chance will be associated with an area of
storms currently over SW MO that are expected to spread NE into
Illinois late this evening. A broken line of thunderstorms is
expected to lift northeast across the terminals resulting in MVFR
or IFR conditions. Additional showers and thunderstorms are
possible Thursday afternoon just beyond the current TAF valid
period.
