Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
1152 AM CST Sat Feb 23 2019

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1110 AM CST Sat Feb 23 2019

Surface trough making its way through Central IL this morning in
advance of storm system expected to arrive later tonight.
Have made some minor updates to the pops and hourly weather to
adjust for a quick break in the showers. Currently some more
lightning back to the SW associated with warmer temps and better
MUCAPE. That being said, same lightning threat and showers to the
SW should be moving into and through the region later this
afternoon. Still in a Marginal Risk for hail/wind threat later as
the low lifts through the Mid Mississippi River Valley and into
the Great Lakes, with the higher threats far to the southeast. Not
a lot of large scale changes to the forecast necessary, but small
adjustments here and there will continue.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Sunday)
ISSUED AT 237 AM CST Sat Feb 23 2019

Main concerns in the short term remain with the thunder potential
later today, as well as the strong winds overnight into Sunday.

Upper low over New Mexico early this morning will continue to
deepen as it lifts northeast to near Kansas City by early evening.
Rain activity so far has largely been staying across Missouri and
Iowa, though we've seen a few sprinkles at times this far east.
With time, this rain shield will edge eastward into the Illinois
River valley this morning, while an inverted trough axis near I-55
keeps activity east of there more scattered. Will include a
mention of isolated thunder this morning, as some elevated
MUCAPE's will be present along the incoming warm front. By mid
afternoon, the front should be roughly along a Havana to Watseka
line, and showers/storms will be increasing south of there. Latest
SPC Day1 outlook continues with a marginal risk of severe weather
south of I-70, primarily from the tremendous bulk shear expected.
As such, will go with higher thunder chances afternoon and early
evening, until the main cold front passes. Much of the rain should
be out of the area by midnight, but will keep a mention of some
showers across the northwest CWA overnight, wrapping around the
low.

Focus then shifts towards the wind issue. Will keep the existing
watch/advisory configuration in place for now, though the watch
may trend toward a higher-end advisory. Strong isallobaric
surge (3-hour pressure change around 9 mb across eastern Iowa
late tonight) will result in a significant spike in the winds
around 3-4 am, as winds start to gust 45-50 mph. Bufkit momentum
transfer suggests these strong winds will continue well into the
afternoon, though with a slight decreasing trend from southwest to
northeast as the low lifts into Ontario. Headlines are in effect
until 9 pm Sunday, though some of it may be able to get dropped a
bit early.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Friday)
ISSUED AT 237 AM CST Sat Feb 23 2019

Once the wind issue passes, a couple days of quiet weather will
start the work week. Some silent 20% PoP's were included in the
forecast for Tuesday and Tuesday evening, with a fast moving
precip streak as seen on the European and Canadian models. As we
go in time, though, differences widen between these models and the
GFS. The latter model features a cold front passage on Wednesday
with much better chances of showers, and a much stronger storm
system moving in early next weekend. Will mainly keep the PoP's in
the 20-30% range through the end of the forecast period, though
higher PoP's Friday are more of a reflection of this strong GFS
solution.

In regards to temperatures, our area will see glancing blows from
periodic Arctic surges. Sunday night and Monday will be the
primary cold period for us, with lows near 10 and highs in the 20s
across the northern third of the forecast area. I-72 and south
should fare a bit better, but still well below normal for late
February.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon)
Issued at 1144 AM CST Sat Feb 23 2019

IFR/LIFR conditions dominate Central IL. Showers brought plenty of
llvl clouds and moisture to result in a lot of fog. Have had to
adjust the 18-21z timeframe to reflect the deteriorating
conditions. Not much in the way of improvement expected in the
lull between showers, as drizzle is probable even in the gaps.
Another round of precip expected later this afternoon, but
lightning is diminishing as it crosses the Miss River to the SW,
and have left VCTS as a result in most. Winds still a major issue
through the overnight, gusting to well over 40 kts at times. LLWS
conditions after midnight as the boundary layer will attempt to
weakly decouple, but turbulence through the layer will keep gusts
active. There's a lull in the winds just off the surface before
it picks up again briefly before dawn... so there is a gap in the
LLWS mention.
