What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood 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 river flood warning went out at Apr 30, 10:53 AM CDT, 4 hours 32 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 30, 10:53 AM CDT, 4 hours 32 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
1053 AM CDT Tue Apr 30 2019

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1053 AM CDT Tue Apr 30 2019

15z/10am surface analysis shows a 1013mb low over southeast
Kansas...with a nearly stationary frontal boundary extending
eastward into the Ohio River Valley. While very little precip is
currently occurring along the front itself, quite a bit of
convection has developed north of the low along a surface trough
axis stretching into Iowa. This activity will gradually shift
northeastward into the Illinois River Valley toward midday...then
to the I-55 corridor by early to mid-afternoon. Based on radar
timing tools and the latest HRRR, have trimmed PoPs to just slight
chance across nearly the entire KILX CWA for the remainder of the
morning, then have increased PoPs to categorical from west to east
this afternoon. With precipitable water values hovering around
1.50, locally heavy rainfall will be a threat. SPC continues to
highlight a good portion of the CWA north of I-70 for a slight
risk for severe weather as well: however, this threat remains
conditional due to extensive cloud cover potentially limiting
instability.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
ISSUED AT 320 AM CDT Tue Apr 30 2019
Ongoing showers and thunderstorms are a reflection of one of a
series of short waves moving up into the region through the
forecast. A stalled front draped across the Ohio River Valley this
morning will shift north throughout the day as a warm front ahead
of another storm system moving into IL later tonight. The
collision of these two mechanisms sets up a few complicating
factors in the region for the short term. Precip currently mainly
confined to the northwest, saturating the ground and dropping the
FF guidance, resulting potentially in the first watch. Warm front
lifting through the region today providing another focus for
showers and thunderstorms, with limited instability, but rich
precipitable water values. Models are inconsistent with
development of showers in the short/mid range, but the relative
cold pool/outflow boundaries laid down by the current precip may
end up having an influence on the northern progress of the front.
At any rate, Central IL is in the Day One Outlook from SPC...a
marginal/slight moving into central IL from the SW.

The FF watch was another concern with the forecast runs this
morning. The axis of higher QPF has shifted slightly southward.
The rich pwats within the warm sector also lining up with a
disturbance in both the GFS and the ECMWF, later in the NAM,
impacting the southeast with a swath of higher QPF. This same area
is also under a max in the llvl jet from 06z-12z and a little
later in the NAM. A secondary max of QPF is starting to show up in
addition to a shift to the south. Have left the current FFA in
place, but expanded further into Central IL for overnight tonight
and into tomorrow. Flash flood guidance is in the 2-2.5" range for
6 hours, and the rain will likely be over a much longer time
frame...but thunderstorms setting up over areas with already
saturated ground could be an issue. May end up seeing a further
expansion today if that same trend continues, as the NAM comes in
with a similar look at 06z.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday)
ISSUED AT 320 AM CDT Tue Apr 30 2019
Again, a rainy pattern through the middle of the work week for
Central IL and much of the Midwest. Southwesterly flow and a
series of short waves bringing showers and thunderstorms
intermittently through the week. The surface boundary will waver
across the region, producing small differences in the models with
regards to the areas that will see the highest qpf, as well as
some timing concerns. Wednesday will see the first low cross the
northern portion of the state...with a front behind it, but not
passing in the traditional sense as the next low is linked back
behind it and expected for Thursday along a similar route. Majority
of the QPF in days 1-3, with the axis shifting south this run,
still in the 2-3" range in total. ECMWF continues to be a little
slower with clearing out on Friday, persisting more rainfall over
the southern tier of the state. Either way, GFS and ECMWF having
issues working out the remainder of the weekend with a pattern
shift as the flow aloft shifts into more of a quasi-zonal flow.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Wednesday morning)
Issued at 715 AM CDT Tue Apr 30 2019

Showers and storms will remain possible for a couple of hours at
BMI and PIA, while SPI/DEC/CMI will just have VCSH through the
morning. PIA and BMI will also see VCSH late morning as well and
into the afternoon hours. As the warm front lifts north through
the period, SPI/DEC/CMI will see the front first...around the late
afternoon. This is also when have added VCTS for all three sites.
This will continue into the evening hours. PIA and BMI will see
the front late afternoon with VCTS being added for late afternoon
through the night. Cigs will also drop through the day, becoming
MVFR at PIA and BMI later this morning. SPI/DEC/CMI will start as
MVFR and then drop to IFR. PIA and BMI will also drop to IFR today
as well. IFR cigs will continue through rest of TAF period. Winds
will start as easterly and then become southerly once front moves
through the sites.
