Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
310 PM CDT Wed Jun 26 2019

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday)
ISSUED AT 310 PM CDT Wed Jun 26 2019

Central Illinois remains near a weak frontal boundary draped from
Lake Erie, through northern Illinois, into the northern Plains.
This front is forecast to push north as ridging aloft amplifies
over the Plains over the upcoming day. Thunderstorms have
developed this afternoon along what appears to be an outflow
boundary from earlier convection in the mid Missouri Valley
region, roughly along the Illinois River. Outflows from these
cells should spread outward through the remainder of the afternoon
and evening, promoting additional thunderstorms. Storms should
generally be slow moving, but could be strong with hail and gusty
downburst winds due to strong instability over the region. SPC has
indicated a slight risk of severe thunderstorms from around I-72
southward, with a marginal risk to the north.

Overnight, storms should diminish steadily through the evening
with weak forcing and shear. Lows should reach the upper 60s. As
the ridge continues to amplify Thursday, expect high temperatures
increasing slightly, reaching around 90 degrees with heat index
in the mid 90s. Thunderstorm chances should be minimal, and
confined to areas north of I-74 closer to the frontal zone across
northern IL.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday)
ISSUED AT 310 PM CDT Wed Jun 26 2019

As the ridge builds Friday through the weekend, any lifting
mechanisms should track generally north of the central IL forecast
area, for a mainly dry forecast until Tuesday. Temperatures
should maintain above normal values in the lower 90s, with daily
afternoon heat index values generally in the upper 90s. Similarly,
warm lows in the lower 70s can be expected.

Models hint at the potential for a few stronger upper level waves
propagating through the northern U.S. next work week to suppress
the central U.S. ridge, and potentially bring precipitation back
to central IL. Coincident with this feature, temperatures would
cool slightly as well.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon)
Issued at 1205 PM CDT Wed Jun 26 2019

Primarily VFR conditions are expected the next 24 hours, although
isolated to scattered thunderstorm development is expected this
afternoon though evening. This could result in isolated MVFR
cigs/vsbys and strong gusty and variable winds. However, timing
and location of potential thunderstorms remains uncertain and
doesn't warrant more than VCTS mention at this time. Thunderstorms
should clear out by midnight. Winds SW under 12 kts this
afternoon and early evening, diminishing to around 5 kts by 03Z.

.ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
