JRPWhat 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 Feb 5, 5:25 AM CST, 4 hours 12 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 5, 5:25 AM CST, 4 hours 12 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lincoln IL 525 AM CST Tue Feb 5 2019 .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) ISSUED AT 311 AM CST Tue Feb 5 2019 Complicated forecast scenario for tonight, in regards to the ice accumulations. Latest model suite has edged the warmer air a bit further north, which would diminish the threat of icing in areas from Bloomington west to Havana. However, high-res models show some convective elements to the freezing rain this evening through about midnight. This would enhance the ice accumulations, though if the rain is too heavy, then the icing threat would actually be a bit more limited. Main threat would begin after 6 pm in any event, and by midnight, will mainly be limited to areas west of the Illinois River. Thus, the following changes are being made to the winter weather headlines: 1) Ice Storm Warning will be issued for Fulton, Knox, Stark, and Marshall Counties. 2) Winter Weather Advisory is being dropped for Mason, Tazewell, and McLean Counties. 3) Start time will be 6 pm this evening for both the warning and the remaining part of the advisory. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday) ISSUED AT 311 AM CST Tue Feb 5 2019 Strong moisture feed will continue into Thursday over a good portion of the area, with precipitable water values over an inch. Threat of flooding will be on the increase across especially the areas I-72 and south. See the Hydrology section below for more details. Precip types not expected to be a concern for Wednesday and early Thursday, as warmer air continues to surge into the area. Highs around 60 are likely both days over the southeast CWA, with 40s across the north. Temperatures will be falling Thursday afternoon, which will lead to a brief transition to freezing rain and snow as the precipitation ends. Much colder air on tap for the end of the work week, as an Arctic air mass brings a glancing blow to central Illinois. Lows in the single digits will be common by Friday night, but temps quickly warm up as ridging starts to build across the Plains early this weekend. Late in the weekend, precipitation starts to move back in ahead of a shortwave moving through the Plains. Models show some significant divergence with the evolution of this system early next week, but that is mostly beyond the current forecast period. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Wednesday morning) Issued at 525 AM CST Tue Feb 5 2019 Western fringes of the low cloud deck have been having a tough time making eastward progress over the last few hours, and KBMI/KSPI have been alternating between VFR and near-IFR conditions. Not looking for any wholesale changes in eastern Illinois this morning, and ceilings over the western half of central Illinois will drop to MVFR again as low clouds spread in from Missouri. A prolonged period of rain will develop early this evening, which will result in IFR ceilings and visibilities overspreading the area. Some concern for freezing rain near KPIA, as temperatures will be just above freezing. Will keep them as straight rain for now, but will need to watch this closely. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 311 AM CST Tue Feb 5 2019 Flooding threat continues to be a concern across mainly the southeast half of the forecast area. Will continue the Hydrologic Outlook for this area, and a transition to a Flood Watch may be needed soon. Latest guidance indicates potential for 2-3 inches of rain near and south of I-70 through the end of the work week, and with the soils not fully thawed, runoff potential is high. Outlooks from the Weather Prediction Center have a marginal risk of flash flooding from about Taylorville-Paris southward on Wednesday and Wednesday night, and a slight risk Thursday south of I-70. River trends will continue to be heading up the next few days, between this rain and the recent snow melt across the northern CWA. Parts of the Spoon and Mackinaw Rivers have recently shown ice action, which are pushing the rivers to just shy of flood stage. Flooding along the Wabash River is likely within the next day or two around Hutsonville, as well as the Illinois River near Havana and Beardstown. && .ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Winter Weather Advisory from 6 PM this evening to 6 AM CST Wednesday for ILZ029-031-040.
